The Rathaus is the most beautiful building in a plaza full of striking buildings. The historic district of Leipzig generally is charming and compact. Great for strolling, and almost no cars. Lots of shops and restaurants among the historic buildings.

Once the private garden of the Count of Bruehl, this large open plaza offers the city's best view of the River Elbe. Under the terrace are trenches, battlements and other remnants of the city's original fortifications.

Having taken the Walk On-Walk Off Bus Tour the previous evening we definitely decided to take a walk along this place and loved it. Very interesting buildings facades and great view. Would also recommend to walk over the Augustus Bridge . Since we visited in December it connected us to the Augustus Christmas Market.

a very modern and beautiful station, with good connections. From that station I went to Prague. It has interesting shops, you can have a coffee or something to eat, it is steps from trams, I remember buying a suitcase to go to Berlin
8. Royal Palace (Residenzschloss)

The palace has been beautifully reconstructed. There is so much to see, that sensory and information overload are guaranteed! As another reviewer commented, this is truly a treasure trove. One wonders where and how they managed to keep so much stuff for the better part of 400 plus years! If your children are into knights, they will surely enjoy the life sized knights on the life sized horses in the exhibits. If you are into coin collections there is an amazing coin collection. If you like medals there are plenty of those too. Well, by now you must have gotten the idea, there is a lot to see and nearly something for every taste.
9. Wasserschloss Klaffenbach
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 66 reviews
The picturesque Wasserschloss Klaffenbach, located on the southern outskirts of Chemnitz, was built in the 16th century and has now been turned into a cultural meeting point of a very special kind. Parallel to the river Würschnitz unfolds the general complex from closing buildings, hotel, restaurant and arts and crafts studio in the midst of a landscape park from green meadows, attractive golf course and popular walking ways. Changing exhibitions to arts and crafts, design and art as well as cultural programs in the lock, in addition, open air events and seasonal markets in the lock yard stand in the loose change on the meeting calendar. Beyond that the delightful ambience of the lock offers a special framework for professional conferences, seminars, receipts, weddings and private celebrations.

Welcomed by bears in its pit the castle is a must to be seen in Torgau, a symbol of a glorious past linked to the Reformation.
