Do you find city conferences stressful? Leipzig proves the opposite and shows how relaxed conferences can be in the city centre. It’s quite simple: easily accessible with everything within reach. A wide range of conference hotels and venues, plus plenty of opportunities for social programmes and leisure activities outdoors. We’ll show you what makes it so easy to relax when you meet in Leipzig.

Easy to get to – and to get around

Compact city centre

Leipzig is easy to reach however you travel. With good national transport links and an excellent local transport infrastructure, it is easy to travel to the area without a car. Once you arrive at the main railway station, you are already in the city centre. From here it is only a few minutes’ walk to central Leipzig’s conference hotels and venues. Leipzig has a compact city centre and many routes are easily walkable. If you want to take a bus, tram or taxi, the Leipzig MOVE app from the local transport authority LVB will help you get from A to B with ease. The app also integrates e-scooters and rental bikes for more personalised transport options. Simply enter your start and destination and the app will show you all the options for getting there. This saves you the hassle of planning a route – sounds like a stress-free way to get to your event, doesn’t it?

In addition to the conference hotels, you will find venues in the city centre with very different characters for your conference. The Salles de Pologne will take you on a journey back in time: this is where neo-baroque elegance meets a modern room concept – an extraordinary setting for events. The Moritzbastei will welcome you with its imposing vaulted cellars, which were once part of the Leipzig city fortifications. The Panorama Tower restaurant promises a stimulating change of perspective: held in conference rooms 120 metres above the ground, your event will be accompanied by a fantastic view of the city. Style and design are alive and well in the Design Offices Leipzig Post in the former main post office. Each of the ultra-modern meeting rooms has its own delightful style, from simple to brightly coloured. The Felix Suites on Augustusplatz also boast inspiring design and a great view. The University of Leipzig offers an ideal environment for scientific conferences.

Start the day right: Leipzig’s parks

Great places for an energetic start to the day


Even if you are staying in a city centre hotel, you can start your day somewhere green. There are beautiful green spaces and parks around the city centre ring road – ideal for a brisk walk or jog. Popular paths follow the Elster floodplain and can be combined to create routes of varying lengths. Energise yourself with sun salutations and a round of yoga in the Johannapark. Are you interested in outdoor gymnastics and calisthenics? Then Clara Zetkin Park and Lene Voigt Park are for you. You will be in good company, as the people of Leipzig also use the city’s green lung to get their day off to a lively start.

Supporting programme for your conference

Plenty of variety


Leipzig has plenty to offer for a variety of entertaining supporting programmes to go with your conference. Whether you are into sports, culture or history, or whether you prefer being outdoors or on the water – there are many ways to clear your mind, boost creativity and strengthen team spirit. How about joint outdoor activities? From white-water rafting to a scavenger hunt-style tour and urban golf, there are no limits to getting your team motivated. Or would you prefer to look behind the curtains somewhere? Then try an indoor tour of the Federal Administrative Court, the Gewandhaus, Leipzig Opera or public broadcaster MDR. Perhaps you would just like to explore Leipzig? The city has plenty to see and do within a couple of hours. And have you ever heard of the Panometer? Or the Kunstkraftwerk Leipzig? These and other special places can be found outside the city centre.

Evenings with live entertainment, catering and more

The locals love Leipzig. And you will too! 


Your evening programme, whether quiet or entertaining, also promises a change of pace that’s within easy reach. You can all look forward to unforgettable evening events. How about a visit to the “Krystallpalast Varieté” variety theatre? See internationally acclaimed artists and comedians in modern variety shows. Or perhaps a foray into the city’s vibrant cultural scene? In addition to the large venues, there are plenty of smaller establishments and clubs with live programmes. Fancy a lounge atmosphere and exclusive views over the rooftops of the city? Then you should definitely take a look at the city centre’s venues with roof terraces. The many restaurants and pubs in the city centre are also open until late, letting you take your time. When your conference is over, you will find it’s easy to enjoy the city in all its facets. Come and see for yourself what makes Leipzig one of the most liveable cities in Europe.
