Leipzig First Date City Experience

This is your "First Date with Leipzig". You are here to enjoy the atmosphere of the city. I will not load you with dates and names, though will provide you this information if required. My goal is to make you fall in love with the city I moved in several years ago. The same way I fell in love with it. I will tell you the most amusing, grabbing and interesting stories about Leipzig, show you the most famous locations and passages you might not consider checking out on your own. I am there for you to answer your questions, to give you city tips and be a story teller. I want you to have a good time in Leipzig and I will care about it. The most pleasant compliment for our Leipzig walk would be your wish to return and visit the city again
See you in Leipzig!
