Whether rowing or paddling on the river Elster, horseback riding in the woods of the Auenwald or cycling along the canal – you will quickly find a welcome break from studying. In the evening, Leipzig’s pub district is a particular hotspot for night owls – from trendy bars to art oases. If you are looking for a different kind of inspiration, you cannot go wrong visiting the opera, the world-famous Gewandhaus or one of the numerous theaters, cabarets and smaller stages.
