Cities and Culture

Would you like to experience Leipzig in a very special and entertaining way? Then we would like to invite you to an entertaining city tour. It takes you past the most important sights in Leipzig and surprises you with charming anecdotes and exciting legends from the city's history.

Our tour is not only informative, but also a journey into the world of Leipzig's peculiarities. For example, did you know why the Saxons are affectionately called "coffee Saxons"? Or what the bizarre story of Shakespeare's stockings is all about? You will also find out why a traditional shortcrust pastry with marzipan filling is called "Leipziger Lerche". And how a monument to Johann Sebastian Bach leads to a curious question: Why is the coat pocket of his statue turned inside out?

Of course, we also devote ourselves to the lesser-known but equally fascinating details of the city. What is really behind the term "lottery economy"? And what stories do the winding streets and squares of Leipzig tell that have inspired so many artists and thinkers and still attract them today?

We will answer these and many other questions in an entertaining way while you experience the beauty and charm of Leipzig up close. Whether it's the Old Town Hall, St. Thomas Church or Barfußgässchen - there are stories everywhere waiting to be told.

And no matter whether you are visiting the city for the first time or have lived here for a while – there is always something new to discover on this tour!
