4 tips for sustainable travel in Leipzig

The dense transport network with short intervals makes you mobile on your exploration tour. We recommend the LeipzigMove app, which allows you to keep an eye on bus, train, bike and car sharing, e-scooters and cabs at all times. The app shows you routes to your destinations with all available mobility options and prices. Planning, booking, reserving and paying are child's play.

Leipzig is just as easy to explore by bike. Due to its compact size, the routes are often short and always lead through the beautiful greenery. The city's sights can therefore be reached quickly. If you prefer to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city, the numerous cycle paths in the Leipzig region are perfect for this. But don't worry, you don't have to bring your own bike. Providers such as nextbike and the Call a Bike offer from Deutsche Bahn allow you to rent bikes.

With Carsharing from Cityflitzer, teilAuto and Flinkster are inexpensive and environmentally friendly on tour and also give you the opportunity to reach Leipzig's New Lake District and the Saxon Castle and Heath Region easily and in the shortest possible time. There are also Park & Ride spaces all over the city, which are open around the clock and are also free of charge.

You can get around Leipzig in a completely new and fun way thanks to the E-Scooter from Voi and the historic and innovative eKutschen. And last but not least, you can of course also experience the beauty and diversity of the city on foot ;-)

The idea of sustainability doesn't stop at food and drink either, which is why many restaurants in the city are already focusing on regional products and seasonal cuisine. Finally, we introduce you to some places to go for the greatest culinary delights.

"Good food, good people" is the motto at Restaurant Fela. Let yourself be inspired by delicious snacks with surprising flavors and the finest gin and tonic creations. The vegan restaurant Zest on the other hand, impresses with exquisite course menus made from fresh ingredients. The Vleischerei also offers everything your heart desires: kebabs, currywurst, burgers, steak and gyros.What makes it special, however, is that it does not serve any meat at all.

The Roots. Pflanzencafé is a plant paradise. Not only can you enjoy homemade cakes and fresh coffee here, you can also buy the plants directly and take them home with you as a souvenir. The coffee roastery Franz Morish serves you homemade coffee creations, snacks, cakes and hot dishes and sources most of its products directly from the region. The Dankbar Kaffee also attaches great importance to working with local partners. Coffee lovers should also make a stop at Brühbar, where coffee is not just drunk, but celebrated. The same applies to the Espresso Zack Zack. It also offers delicacies from its own bakery Zum Wilden Heinz is an alternative café in the west of Leipzig that has made use of one of Leipzig's many brownfield sites. In summer, it impresses with its dreamy beer garden and in winter with its cozy wooden hut.

If you prefer something cooler, you should try a traditional and regionally produced ice cream from TONIS organic icecream, from the ice cream parlor Eisträumerei or Gustav H. .
