See Leipzig’s Old Town, Plagwitz, Gohlis, and the Battle of Nations Monument on a $25 walking and bus tour.
“A good long and detailed tour. Worth its money. There was a minority of English speakers on this tour so the level of the tour guides information she gave to the English speakers reflected this, but she did try to speak to us directly too and make us feel more included. The bus tour was really good, the tour guide had to switch between German and English pretty fast, which she did very well indeed.”

See Leipzig’s key sights by red double-decker bus, with German commentary, a free walking tour, and a stop at the Battle Monument.
“The bus is conveniently located opposite the Hauptbahnhof in Leipzig. We bought our tickets online and had to exchange these at the kiosk for a receipt prior to admission on the bus. Buses run every half an hour & the 13 stops cover the main sights in Leipzig. This tour doesn’t seem to be well catered to foreign tourists as the only commentary available was in German. It was a shame as it would have been nice to hear some of the history of Leipzig along with the local knowledge of a tour guide.”
