Begin your adventure at Augustusplatz, Leipzig's grand central square. You'll be steps away from the dazzling Leipzig Opera, a temple to the musical arts that has been around since the days when powdered wigs were all the rage. Keep the melody going with a visit to the Gewandhaus Concert Hall, a spectacular concert hall that doubles as an emblem of the city. But Leipzig isn’t all tunes and treble clefs; it’s a city that boasts academic prowess, too. Leipzig University, the second oldest in Germany, oozes beauty from every brick, and its history dates back to 1409! Continue your journey through time at the New Town Hall, which is anything but 'new,' showcasing magnificent architecture that’s rich in detail and steeped in history.
