A Walking Tour through Our Arcades

Leipzig has always had a tradition of trade fairs and commerce. Over time, the prosperity this brought gave rise to opulent trade fair buildings and a distinctive network of arcades, which left their impressive mark on the architecture of the city’s historic centre.

During the walking tour, learn interesting facts about Leipzig’s courtyards and arcades that are off the beaten track.

Leipzig at Night

Experience Leipzig at night in the glow of its lights. As you stroll through the city, tread paths that are easily overlooked in the light and listen to stories whose subjects shy away from the light of day.

On tour in a Trabi

Some think they are cute. Others want them off the streets. We are talking about the four-wheeled symbol of German reunification - the Trabant.

It used to take up to 15 years before a brand-new Trabant was finally delivered. The Trabi, with its duroplast (plastic) body, was so eagerly sought after that it was given affectionate nicknames such as "Rennpappe" (racing cardboard) or "Asphaltblas" (asphalt bubble).

Even today the indestructible double-stroke engines are almost in short supply again, because in recent years the Trabi has become a sought-after cult object.

For a real Trabi driving experience, a Leipzig tour of discovery can be organised at any time.

Explore the city on foot or by Segway
