Leipzig Cultural and Culinary Exploration Tour

It was 2013, when a private TV station made the railway road the “most dangerous road in Germany”. It is not, although drug trafficking and money laundering play a greater role in the environment than anywhere else in Leipzig. But it is more of a diffuse fear of the foreign that makes up the reputation of the railway road. Those who appreciate cultural diversity, on the other hand, will also find them here, and especially on plates and in glasses.
Arab culture lives here alongside Korean, Turkish and Vietnamese cultures. The German baker supplies baked goods. Some say you can find the best kebab in the world here and the supermarket “International Food” already clearly shows that cooking in Syrian and Turkish snacks is done with much more imagination than you might think at first glance. A detour to the district – around the railway road – shows a lively Leipzig that appeals to all the senses.
