There are many attractive buildings in Leipzig, in addition to my specific hightlights. One that's unmissable is the Jugendstil Speck's Hof shopping mall. And I liked the Alte Handelsbörse [Old Exchange], which was built in the 17th century in the early baroque style as a place where merchants could meet. Today it is often used for events such as chamber music and literary gatherings, scientific lectures, receptions and conferences. In front of it stands a statue of Goethe. |
