Bach Memorial next to St Thomas' Church

Leipzig has been an important influence in European commercial and intellectual life for centuries, and its sights are all part of the Leipzig experience. Historical shopping arcades, lovingly restored, are typical of the architecture in the city centre. There are great shops, a vibrant cultural scene and lively bars that stay open very late, all within a relatively small area.

The Gewandhaus Orchestra and the St Thomas' Boys Choir are known world-wide. Every year international festivals like the Bach or the Mendelssohn Festival attract thousands of visitors. For art fans, Leipzig holds numerous galleries and exhibitions in store, especially since the New Leipzig School became a major talking point in the international art scene.

Leipzig is a popular shopping destination, there are numerous shops, boutiques or big department stores. Even on a rainy day shopping can be fun here as many of the shops can be found in roofed historical or modern city arcades.

Business

Leipzig has been source of fascination for tradesmen, entrepreneurs, academics and artists for centuries. The first city to be endowed with imperial trade fair rights back in 1497, Leipzig has had plenty of time to gather experience from which visitors can now benefit.

Industries in Leipzig include e. g. automobile production (Porsche and BMW), media, health sciences, biotechnology as well as the energy and evironmental sectors.
