Leipzig left me awe-inspired with its remarkable industrial legacy! From repurposed factories like Feinkost, Pittlerwerke, and Spinnerei that now stand as cultural hotspots, to the forgotten gems like the former coal factory covered with graffiti, immersing myself in Leipzig’s industrial past was the highlight of my trip.
Three neighborhoods that truly stole my heart are:
- Plagwitz, which blossomed around former factories,
- Lindenau, neighbouring with Plagwitz
- Connewitz, which maintains its punk and alternative vibe, making it an offbeat gem.
Hungry for recommendations? Let’s talk eats!
Don’t miss the heavenly mango cheesecake at Café Bubu, savor the specialty coffee at Café Kater, and oh, the craft beers at Leipzig’s historic brewery Bayerischer Bahnhof (the iconic Gose beer surpassed all expectations, debunking urban legends).
