The Leipzig City Guides cover the questions visitors bring with them: where to drink Gose and eat proper Saxon food, how to follow Bach and the peaceful revolution of 1989 through the old town, which flooded-mine lake to reach by tram and how a full day in the city can cost less than €25. Every guide is a short, opinionated list that tells you why each place is worth it, which part of town it is in and one practical tip, and it opens in your browser as soon as you pay.

Three places from the guides
Gosenschenke Ohne Bedenken
Eutritzsch, 10 minutes by tram from the centre
An old pub from around 1900 and the best spot to taste Gose, the city’s salty, sour wheat beer, with a beer garden for the warmer months. Order the beef braised in Gose, the dish people make the trip for. From the nightlife guide.
St. Nicholas Church (Nikolaikirche)
Nikolaikirchhof, old town
Peace prayers started here in 1982, and in 1989 the demonstrations set out from this church. Inside, the pillars open into palm fronds at the top, and walking in costs nothing. From the things to do guide.
Naumburger Dom
Naumburg, about 50 minutes by regional train
A UNESCO World Heritage cathedral known for its 13th-century founder statues, above all Uta, whose stone face looks almost alive. The ticket includes an audio guide, and the small old town is easy to explore on foot afterwards. From the day trips guide.
Play the trail, then open the guide
World City Trail’s Leipzig scavenger hunt, escape game and audio tour lead you through the historic centre. The guides take over when the game is done: a glass of Gose in a station brewery, the church where the 1989 protests began, a tram out to the lakes or a free museum when it rains.
