Shopping in Leipzig's Trendy Districts

It's worth making a detour away from Leipzig's central shopping districts! Anyone who likes unique or second-hand items will love the Karl-Liebknecht-Strasse – not only in terms of shopping but also for its restaurants and pubs. Here you will find more than one place worth taking a break after every shop. Creative and trendy shopping is available along Karl-Heine-Strasse in Plagwitz. A look at the events calendar is especially worthwhile here because once a year the street is transformed into a promenade for the "Boulevard Heine" event. At the BoHei & Tamtam street festival, you will only find handmade, unique products. Here, artists, artisans, craftsmen, designers and other creative people sell their products.

Leipzig is known worldwide for its dynamic art, music and festival scene.
