For an unplanned visit, I had to spontaneously find the best way to spend the day. The weather was foggy and cold, so I opted for a 13-stop hop-on-off bus ticket. The best decision! I learned so much about Leipzig, history, curiosities, news. The guide was in a good mood, so you could forget about the bad weather. I spent most of my time at the Völkerschlachtdenkmal and thanks again to the bus driver who picked me up and stopped especially for me! I will definitely use this offer again on my next visit to get to know Leipzig even better. I have already recommended this sightseeing tour to my friends. However, I will book the ticket one day before my visit to Leipzig, because I assume that the number of guests will increase in the summer. Really great offer, you can use it all day and discover a lot of Leipzig's sights!

The zoo in Leipzig is highly recommended. It's not a huge area where you feel like you'll never get to the end. Everything is well signposted. Gondwanaland is really enchanting and designed with attention to detail. The boat trip (additional cost) is also not to be missed. In my opinion, the entrance prices are not that cheap - but considering the facilities inside and out, it's still somewhat understandable. Conclusion: Visit Leipzig - plan a zoo ☺️

Our narrator was great! She explained everything really well and gave us little details and stories, it was very informative and funny :) Unfortunately I don't know her name, but she was blonde with bangs 🙈

The park is very animal-friendly. The animals were up close. It was really impressive and highly recommended. We'd love to come back.
