LOCATION

The city of Leipzig is located in the north-east of Germany, about 160km south of Berlin. Situated at the crossing of two major medieval trading routes, Via Imperii connecting Italy with the North and Via Regia connecting East and West, it was once considered as one of the major European centers of trade, culture and learning. Today Leipzig is an easily likeable, green and young city with a rich cultural diversity. Particularly in the city center one can find many beautiful historical buildings from different architectural periods, museums and parks. Also, lovers of classical music appreciate Leipzig due to the impact of Bach and Mendelsohn-Bartholdy, who lived in the city for important parts of their lives.
