What you didn’t know about Leipzig

Did you know that Leipzig is known for its connection to classical music?

• A concert by St. Thomas Choir in the actual place where Bach worked – St. Thomas’s Church – is one of the cultural and emotional highlights of a visit to Leipzig.

Have you heard about all the wonderful recreational opportunities available in Leipzig?

• With over 120 hectars of woodland, parks, golf courses, rivers, and canals within the city, and lakes in the southern part, Leipzig offers a wide range of recreational opportunities. Along with the Botanical Garden, a special mention must be made of Leipzig Zoo. One Zoo project which is unique in the world is Pongoland, in which scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology are studying the behaviour of the great apes in a close-to-natural environment.
