Welcome to Leipzig. This city is a ‘hidden gem’ almost unknown to people outside Germany. Think Berlin but more charming, better-looking and without the hype, queues or expensive rents. Whether you are studying, working or visiting I hope you find plenty of useful info and tips here.

The best tips on Nightlife, Eating Out, and interesting local Attractions can be found in my reviews section. Also check out Hotels & Hostels for where to stay.

The Area Guide has detailed descriptions of Leipzig’s residential areas – a good place to start if you are thinking of moving to Leipzig. There’s information on finding furnished rental accommodation as well as prices and options for more longer term renting. There’s even tips on buying property in Leipzig.

Discover how to get to grips with the trams and buses and the excellent S-Bahn network. You can easily get by in Leipzig without a car. Biking is hugely enjoyable and practical at all times of year. Leipzig has a massive network of biking trails.

The cost of living is low and the quality of living exceptionally high. You will need health insurance for longer stays in Germany. If you are from another EU country you’re probably fine, as your home coverage should suffice for about a year. For non-EU citizens I recommend World Nomads Travel Insurance for basic coverage up to a year.

And there’s much more! I really hope you enjoy this website and please feel free to contact with your comments and questions, or even if you just want to say ‘hi’.

Tschüss 🙂
