    Zoo Leipzig is such a beautiful zoo. Most of the exhibits feel very modern and spacious, with lots of different viewing points to see the animals. The animals themselves looked very comfortable and relaxed in their enclosures. All of the members of staff I spoke to were friendly, and patient with my limited German, and were very accommodating with my accessibility needs.

    I wasn't expecting this monument to be so huge. It is fascinating and well worth a visit to its floors and galleries.

    It is in it's size, the platforms, the undercover "Train Sheds" quite magnificent.
    The availability of all modes of transport located in this Hauptbahnhof, make for a visit, to Leipzig, Germany, by train, a "very friendly" visitors experience.
    You could spend hours in the shopping facilities within the Hauptbahnhof composition.
    It is, from vast experience and interests in Hauptbahnof and Banhof that I have, in Europe, it is Unique.
    My only negative comment, relates to CLEANLINESS.
    The main entrance which is front of the main tram terminal, the number of those "less fortunate than us" was not acceptable.
    The entry into the Hauptbahnof through the main doors the concourse and in between the two sets of doors you need to enter into the Hauptbahnof was wrongfully / sadly DIRTY.
    The smokers ash-trays in fact, quite VILE, in the condition they are in and there grossly un-tidy appearance.
    The playing of "Light" Classical music, a technique, I know that is used, to distract those experiencing hard times in there life, is used in the MAIN front entrance of Leipzig Hauptbahnhof, but the occasions of my use of these main entry doors, appeared to have NO effect, as numbers of those from a "lower station in life" who would have there reasons, still loitered or asked for "gratitude's".
    Police spasmodically where in attendance, which was more of a - Be Seen function - than one of "moving" people on.
    All other areas of the Leipzig Hauptbahnhof I had cause to visit, from a cleanliness judgement I would rate 8 out of 10.
    I do LOVE Milano Centrale, but Leipzig, and the "newly" refurbished Zurich Hauptbahnhof - wonderful places to visit, that ALL are History "Time Balls".

    Amazing. The audiguide says the tour takes 60 minutes but I spent 3.5 hours here. Very interesting with a genuine personal touch. Many of the characters really came to life.

    Very nice museum. Beautifully curated and interactive. Highly recommend the audio tour, perfect for solo or small groups. Perfect to visit St Thomas and St Nickolas after or before the museum.

    This is a wonderful museum to learn about Mendelsohn and his family. The house is also a good example of the period and the displays are both interesting and stimulating.
    On Sunday mornings there is chamber concert performed which is an extra bonus to the visit.

    The Mädler Passage is a shopping arcade in Leipzig city centre. The passage is full of exclusive shops selling all manner of expensive goods. But shopping aside, it is worth visiting the complex to appreciate the actual building. A beautiful place to pass through, but to be honest not much more.
