every tuesday - pub quiz in our bar
saturday - delicatessen
sunday - neighborhood flea market at westwerk
For a good start to the day, Cafe Kater and Cinnamoon offer a delicious breakfast. If you need something a little quicker, make a short stop at the bakery at the Angerbrücke stop.
In the city center, it is worth visiting St. Thomas Church, where Johann Sebastian Bach is buried and where you can sometimes listen to live organ music or attend the motet on Saturdays.
If you feel like seeing some art, you should have a look around the Museum of Fine Arts, if you are interested in the history of the former GDR and the division of Germany, don’t miss out on the Forum of contemporary history (it’s free!).
Take a tram to the Monument to the Battle of the Nations and have a look at Leipzig from 90 meters in the air. For dinner and drinks check out Karl-Liebknecht Straße in the south or our recommendations below (Pekar is delicous).
Start off your second day with a stroll around our neighborhood where you can find little cafes, cute shops, abandoned buildings and street art.
After that you can walk along Karl Heine Street and go gallery hopping in the old cotton mill area or enjoy an immersive video art experience at Kunstkraftwerk. From either place you can walk back along the Karl Heine Canal until you reach Zschochersche Straße. Have a coffee at Cafe Alma (right on the canal) or grab lunch at one of the many spots around there. Our favorite is Quan Xanh, affordable and delicous vietnamese food. Afterwards you can take a tram to Karl-Liebknecht Street for some shopping and and a coffee or continue walking to Clara-Zetkin Park to enjoy some nature.
In good weather, we recommend a canoe trip on Leipzig's canals or a few lazy hours on the beach at one of the many lakes.

Buy a beer and take a stroll down the canal – 10 points if you can spot a Coypu aka the love child of an otter, a beaver and an oversized rat…
Rent a canoe and explore Leipzig on the water (50 points for the Coypu because they’re much rarer on these waterways!)
Take a bike or a bus to Cospudener See, Kulkwitzer See or Naturbad Südwest and cool down on hot summer days. No Coypus to be found here 🙁
