Our first visit was to the St Nicholas Church to see the rose-tinted stone architecture. It’s absolutely beautiful. You can attend the morning prayer too. Next, we walked past the University of Leipzig, New City Hall, and Federal Administrative Court – all of which are renowned for their stunning architecture. Trust us when we say that they are perfect for your Instagram reels or posts.For lunch, we grabbed a bite at the iconic Zum Arabischen Coffe Baum, which was where the most intellectual minds of Germany would meet in the previous centuries.After lunch, we got onto the S-Bahn train and visited the Völkerschlachtdenkmal monument, where the 1813 Battle of the Nations took place. On the way back, we went to explore the marketplace near the Old City Hall.In the evening, we visited the Grassi Museum, which has an expansive selection of some of the best European historical musical instruments. Finally, we had drinks and dinner in the vaulted cellars of the legendary Auerbachs Keller. It did feel like we were in Goethe’s Faust then.

Our second day was slower than the first. We went to the Museum der Bildenden Künste first, which houses iconic artworks from Europe. Next, we paid a visit to the St. Thomas Church, where Bach was the music director in the 18th Century.Next, we made our way to the Leipziger Baumwollspinnerei, where you’ll find gorgeous graffiti and shops selling quirky and affordable souvenirs. Then, off we went for a short visit to Eigen+Art, a high-end art gallery that is a must-see.Bayerischer Bahnhof Pub was our choice for lunch and beer, and it is definitely worth the hype. Next, we took a stroll around Clara-Zetkin, taking in the sights and we window shopped in the local neighborhood.We went back to our room to get ready for a night out at Distillery. Suffice to say, it was an exciting end to our trip.

Immersing ourselves in the cultural heritage of Leipzig 

The city of Leipzig in Germany has gained a lot of traction these days. We had friends who had visited tell us that it's the perfect millennial city, with its hippy, artsy and Bohemian vibe. Our tour involved a lot of walking. Summers are cool and perfect to wear in your cute dresses. But carry woolen if you're visiting in winter, because Leipzig can get very cold. Most of the places we visited did not have any tickets. But the pubs get crowded quickly, so it's best to book your table or head there early.&nbsp;
