The 5 best parks in Leipzig
Johannapark - close to the center for in between
Where can I find the park?
The park is located in Leipzig's western suburbs, in the Zentrum-West district. It is framed to the north-west by Ferdinand-Lassalle-Straße, to the north-east by Paul-Gerhardt-Weg and Friedrich-Ebert-Straße, to the south by Karl-Tauchnitz-Straße and to the south-west by Edvard-Grieg-Allee. Adjacent residential areas are the Bachviertel, the inner west suburb and the music district.
What's so special about the park?
Are you strolling through the city center and your feet are aching? Do you need a lunch break or just want to get out into the countryside? Then the Johannapark is just right for you. From the city center, you can reach the green space in around ten minutes on foot. Ideal for a little detour in between. You can even see the City Tower and the tower of the New Town Hall from the meadow. Today, the park is a well-kept area with a small pond and bridge. When Wilhelm Theodor Seyfferth bought the meadow in 1858, things looked very different. He prepared the field and dedicated it to his daughter Johanna, who died young.

Where can I find the park?
The Palmengarten is located around two kilometers west of Leipzig city center in Lindenau. It is bordered to the north by Jahnallee, to the east by Richard-Wagner-Hain, to the south by Karl-Heine-Straße and to the west by Kleinen Luppe and Lützner Straße.
What's so special about the park?
Are you looking for a park in Leipzig to relax and unwind? Then you've come to the right place. In the Palmengarten you have absolute peace and quiet. No street noise, sportsmen and women, barbecues and picnics ... not a thing. The park is densely overgrown and protects you from city life. There is usually not much going on in the meadows and you can relax by the pond with idyllic fountain and pavilion. Did you know that? The Palm Garden is actually part of Clara Zetkin Park. In 1955, the decision was made to unite Johannapark, Palmengarten, Volkspark Scheibenholz and Albertpark under the name Central Cultural Park Clara Zetkin

Rosental - For romantics
Where can I find the park?
The Rosental is a 118-hectare park-like part of the northern Leipziger Auwald. It is bordered by the Elstermühlgraben to the south, the Parthe to the north and the Zoo to the east.
What's so special about the park?
Are you just in love? With its flower arrangements, the Rosental offers the perfect backdrop for a romantic stroll in summer. If you stretch your necks to the sky, you can even catch a glimpse of Leipzig Zoo: The Zoo Showcase offers you the opportunity to observe some of the animals. Another highlight is the so-called "Wackelturm" - a viewing platform that lives up to its name and from which you have a magnificent view over the green Leipzig. The large green space in the middle of the city also offers plenty of room to play on walks with dogs.

Lene Voigt Park - refreshingly different
Where can I find the park?
The park was created on the site of the former Eilenburg railroad station. The green lung for the east of Leipzig runs from Gerichtsweg to Riebeckstraße.
What is special about the park?
There are many parks in Leipzig, but this one is special: tubular, metal pipes running across the meadow, old industrial buildings painted with graffiti - Lene Voigt Park is no ordinary park. After its completion in 1874, it served the workers of the Eilenburg railroad station as a resting place in the middle of barren industrial buildings. Today, this green oasis in the east of Leipzig is a meeting place for families and students. Playgrounds and sports fields line the grounds. If you are more active and don't fancy a classic park, then the Lene-Voigt-Park is just the thing for you.

Wilhelm-Külz-Park - experience history up close
Where can I find the park?
Wilhelm-Külz-Park is located between the Völkerschlachtdenkmal and the Alten Messegelände. The park is framed by Prager Straße, Richard-Lehmann-Straße and Street of October 18.
What's so special about the park?
The special thing about the park will probably catch your eye straight away. You have the best view of the Völkerschlachtdenkmal. Napoleon lost the War of Liberation against the Prussian, Austrian, Swedish and Russian troops on this meadow in 1813. But don't worry, there is no sign of the bloodbath today. Only the imposing monument is a reminder of the battle. On the grounds, you have plenty of space to relax or play soccer - with a view of one of Leipzig's most beautiful landmarks.
