If you ask us where the best shopping is in Leipzig, we can say without hesitation: the city centre! There are countless shops and a unique network of arcades with beautiful stores as well as shopping malls such as the Höfe am Brühl or the PROMENADEN at Leipzig Central Station.

As the saying goes, the way to a man's heart is through his stomach – so Leipzig is the perfect place to take your partner, family or best friends! You can enjoy a meal with a view across Leipzig from 129 metres up, gaze at the old town hall over a glass of wine and try some Saxon specialities in a former market courtyard or station building as well as embarking on a culinary discovery tour away from the inner city to taste some creative or vegan dishes in the breathtaking atmosphere of bygone industrial times.

In Leipzig, you're never far from afternoon coffee and cake. The locals here are known as "Coffee Saxons" and we know why. There is a long tradition of coffee house culture in Leipzig that can still be experienced today in the city at numerous cafes, ranging from cosy coffee rooms that have been here for decades to younger cafes serving lattes in black, gold or pink as well as espresso coffee.
Get inspired and enjoy the taste!
