Let us know your thoughts of the area! Is this the best city to live in Germany? 😊💜
Leipzig is great, friendly persons, good food and the german wgt
Dresden. 🙈
I wish I could come to Germany
A few months ago maybe February I held an entire 2 minute conversation with a real german from dusseldorf
There are 2 types of people Dresden or Leipzig.
Due to eg Hellraiser, Sixtina and WGT Leipzig is my fav. (And also nearby)
Definitely no!
If Deana really likes to live near the water, you should‘ve checked out the western part of Leipzig (Plagwitz/Schleussig/Lindenau). The Clara-Zetkin-Park and the Auwald are very close too. So, you would combine the best of both worlds there - the greenish parks and the water but also great industrial buildings with nice lofts and apartments.
Did you know, that Leipzig ranks after Hamburg and Berlin as the city with the most bridges in Germany. It has actually more than Venedig - even though the ones in Venedig are a bit more beautiful 😜
The lakes south of Leipzig are great too... Especially in summer.
Compared with other German cities the rents in Leipzig are super cheap. The city is kinda „hip“ with loads and loaaads of students. It is also quite compressed and not so copious like Berlin for example. You can go everywhere by bike but the Tram system is really great as well. The city is currently booming. Most of the empty places you‘ve seen around the city centre (west of the main station, south of the new town hall, Bayerischer Bahnhof) are gonna be new living space/parks in not even 10 years.
With around 600.000 people living in Leipzig it’s not too big but not too small either. If you need more shops or whatever, Berlin is 2 hours away, Dresden 1, Fankfurt around 3 hours by train.
The city is soo energetic but if you want it can be super classic as well (the old trade fair arcades, ...).
All in all a great city (at least for me 😜)
Yes ,Leipzig has a Lot of waterways within the City Limits and a Lot of lakes nearby , you probably missed that ......
Leipzig is beautiful. Was there last year. Came from the u.s🇺🇸..
Was it easy to get around with only English?
@@youtube_viewer6160 In Germamy usually Englisch is the 2.Language we habe to lernen at School. To me it's 20 Years ago, i still unterstand it but do not speak it well... I think, much Germans like me:-)
@@angelikapreu9323 I see, thank you for your response :)
Grüße aus Leipzig
🤗💜
Leipzig is for sure a city worth living in. I went there 15 years ago, coming from Northrine Westfalia, and never left since.
@willy wuff Dankeschön für das Kompliment !
Fun fact über den Hauptbahnhof: Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts konnten sich die sächsische und die preußische Staatsbahn nicht einigen, wer den Bahnhof errichten und betreiben soll - im Ergebnis baute jeder seinen eigenen Hauptbahnhof. Da es sich um zwei spiegelbildliche Gebäude handelt, hat jedes davon einen zentralen Zugang und Seitenschiffe, weswegen der zentrale Bereich des in den 20ger Jahren zusammengelegten Bahnhofs nichts zentrales hat. Das Gebäude, das nicht erkannt wurde, ist das Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts auf dem Gelände der ehemaligen Pleißeburg (eine am Ende heruntergekommenen Zwingburg der Markgrafen von Meißen) errichtete Neue Rathaus.
Sehr gut beschrieben !
I'm an American retired educator and have lived in this extraordinary city for 23 years. The love for my second "heimat" grows daily. I consider myself extremely fortunate to be here.
I might add that I also have a second flat in Dresden which I enjoy having very much for the last 10 years. When asked about my preference between the two cities, Dresden is stunningly beautiful, but the spirit, general vibe , and university influence of Leipzig is where I spend the majority of my time.
five years ago i moved from berlin to leipzig and damn..i fell in love with this city.
Leipzig has water. No big river of course, but there a some nice lakes, for example in the south and you have nice channels in the city. You even can go by boat (kayak or canoe) from the city to the lakes.
Yeah! Next time we visit we want to kayak! That looks like a lot of fun! 😍
Yes, Markkleeberger See, sehr schön!
@@DeanaandPhil
I actually did a kayak tour on the Weiße Elster and the Karl-Heine-Kanal years ago.
It's pretty nice. And a lot of fun.
Neuseenland !
@@DeanaandPhil the "kulki" is a good lake if you like swimming
Another place in East Germany that you two could visit is Dresden and have a look at buildings like the Frauenkirche and the Zwinger. One food you have to trie when you are in Dresden is Dresdener Eierschecke (a really amazing cake).
Yeah...Dresden is the nicest east-german city with the Fraunkirche, Zwinger etc.
@@s______f8015 I like Erfurt better than Dresden to be honest.
@@fjellyo3261 i never been in Erfurt. Dresden is so much historical, i love this city
When I came from the USA, I checked out both Dresden and Leipzig, spending a week in both. I chose Leipzig, it is so less tourist oriented, and much more diverse people wise. Don't get me wrong. I like visiting Dresden, but I would rather live here in Leipzig.
@@Old-USRefugee I know I personally would never move to Dresden but it's a great place to visit, because of the "Dresdener Altstadt" and the history.
Freiburg is the most beautiful City in germany! You have everything, a river (also a tiny brook through the whole city), big mountains (blackforest), the best weather in Germany and really nice people. Freiburg is a Green Student City with a lot of different cultures. It’s definitely worth a visit 😊
07:56
It`s the New Town Hall. Highest Town Hall tower in Germany.
...
The "lake" at the Völkerschlachtdenkmal symbolises the blood of the victims of the battle, which was the biggest battle in human history until WW1.
No it's caled "See der Tränen" (Lake of tears) and symbolise the tears of the people for the victims in the battle of nations from october 1813
Never been im Eastern Germany as well even though I am German. Defenetely have to visit Leipzig, it looks so nice!
Als Leipziger kann man das Umland die Leipziger Seen-Platte nur empfehlen wenn man Wasser sucht :D
Yep, the ingridiences for a "Leipziger Allerlei" have to come from somewhere after all.
Man kann auch eine Bootstour durch leipzig machen 😉
Mit Hot Rod cruisen und den Zoo kann ich auch empfehlen 👌
Hat nicht jeder Mensch eine Wasser Sucht ?
I am enjoying these tour of the German cities and discovering their unique history, food and charm. Another beautiful place. Danke
I loved my visit to Leipzig! Thanks for bringing the memories back!
Leipzig is my hometown and I miss it so much, it’s nice to see your video since I live in Texas
Ann Wyche born close by Bad Duerrenberg.
Yeah, my hometown. :D
😍
Too
Yep! 😊
Mine too😍but i moved 1989 as a ten year old to Bremen.🤷♂️
Yeah, me too😁
Welcome to my City. Here studied Bach, Kästner and Goethe :)
Deana and Phil - I watched this video tonight (i'm in US). I LOVE Leipzig. Just so you know, The Nikolaikirche was a favorite venue of J, S. Bach, the Cantor at the Thomas Church until his death in 1750. Also, the city you saw was not there when I visited in 1993. The Leipzig citizens have worked hard to restore what was a dilapidated and run down city. Bums and gypsies were in the square in front of the Gewandhausin 1993. I consider Germany my home-land, even as a proud American. Thank you for taking me back to the places I have visited each time I go!! Vielen Dank, meine Freunden!!
Beautiful city, I want to go back. Looks like you missed the Thomaskirche. It also has a big place in history, it is the home of the Thomanerchor, one of the oldest boy choirs in the world at over 800 years, and which was for over 25 years conducted by JS Bach himself, who composed most of his choral work for this choir. And also the Gewandhaus Orchestra. Both institutions super high on the prestige scale.
Loving every video you guys are putting out! This series is helping me decide where I should live if I move after finishing Uni here in Canada :) Thank you and keep up the great videos!
Dankeschön das Ihr Leipzig besucht habt. Meine Heimat seit 10 Jahren.
There is plenty of lakes around the city, you can go there by bike and have such beatiful places to go for a swim, taking a boat, rafting and more. :-)
Great video! And that transition to the patreon stuff was pure genius
Cool, dass ihr in Leipzig wart. Finde die Stadt großartig. Tolles Video👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
i went to leipzig two times and i love it so much❤️
Saxony has one of the lowest Coronavirus infection rates in Germany. Therefore the rules are less strict. In restaurants you're not obliged to wear a mask, neither indoors nor outdoors.
Whoop-dee-doo.
So wonderful to see peoples faces!
Awww loved this vid. My Mom is from Leipzig. I barely remember visiting I was so young. Very cool to see. Thanks!
This series of travel videos is great you guys! Good mix of practical stuff like how the hotels are and other daily stuff, sights and buildings and general city feel, and food. I have no plans to go to any of these places but still find these videos fascinating!
If you like animals you definitely need to go to Leipzig again and visit the zoo! One of the most amazing zoos ever with the most fabulous tropical house!
that would be my first stop :D
Absolutely. That Zoo is amazing. Even has it's own TV show "Elefant, Tiger und Co".
I actually don't visit zoo's BECAUSE I like animals
What a nice town. Like the classic architecture, wow the food.
Another great video, guys! Love your channel. As Americans seeking to move to Munich, your channel has helped me a lot to know what to expect! And you’re both entertaining and cute. Great job!!
And we also love your channel. I like to watch your Videos and see a New perspective of my country.
Wow! The inside of that church was gorgeous.
I visited on wednesday last week for the first time the city of Leipzig. And I was amazed. You don't often find the mixture of small-town-feeling in a major city. The public parks near the central city and the many interesting museums I found were amazing, too. And then the Völkerschlachtdenkmal. One of the biggest memorials in Europe.
The City of Leipzig is, as far as I know the east german bigger Cities (Dresden, Halle, Magdeburg, Potsdam, Erfurt, Berlin), my favourite right now. Many young people, all friendly, musicians in the pedestrian zone, many Cafes and Restaurants.
Do you have a favourite right now?
How about Hannover? One of the greenest cities in Europe. And it is not as boring as many people say.
Deana‘s face when she was eating the „Torte“ ! 😘Priceless
Video gut gemacht 👍 wie immer, ihr zwei macht mich jedes Mal hungrig !!! 🤣
Greetings from Leipzig you beautiful Souls ❤
Loving the tour of Germany - I know you want to find a place to live but hope you visit another 10 or 20 cities first /grin. The food all looks amazing - I'm gaining weight just from watching!
I live very close to Leipzig and I can tell u guys it is an amazing city. It is one of the most booming cities in Germany and u have so much possibilities what you can do there. So thumps up for Leipzig 👍🏼😊
@Deana and Phil The building you said is beautiful was the New Town Hall. It was nice to see my home city in the video.
What a beautiful city. I haven't been to Leipzig, so this was a treat. Thank you for providing a great tour. Those cabbage rolls looked awesome! So far I like the cities am Rhein best of all.
Leipzig is a city with an big University. So you can see much stundents from everywhere.
You just visited my favorite city in Germany. I live in NRW since my birth, but I visit Leipzig on a regular term for 20 years now. There is something called WGT (Wave-Gotik-Treffen) which normally takes place there (this year it was cancelled because of the virus) and which is the reason why I go there once a year. I fell in love with the city, its people and the whole atmosphere there. It breathes history not only because of the GDR but also because of the many artists and writers who lived there. Ancient and modern bulidings come together for a unique melange you won't find anywhere else.
When it comes to the Völkerschlachtdenkmal I recommend to also visit the Krypta next time which is a room in the basement. It actually looks like something from Lord of the Rings with its impressive architecture and huge statues and figurines.
And there is much more to explore there. Leipzig has an area with several lakes where you can swim or ride a boat or cycle or go for a walk around them and I absolutely love the variety of restaurants and bars all over the city.
We miss our Leipzig since we couldn't go there this year and look so much forward to it in 2021. The WGT is one thing, but we actually miss the city more than the festival, I swear... and that's what I say after experiencing both for 20 years.
Leipzig is still there, and you can go. What you miss is some special people there ;-)
Awwwww ... thank you so much! 😊
Yeah, Leipzig is great, at least for a visit. I am not sure I would want to life there, though. It is in a way surrounded by nothing, which is geat if you love being out in the nature, but I personally prefer living in more populated areas. Plus, while Leipzig itself is Legida free, Pegida is very much active in the surrounding area. But Leipzig itself is amazing, and the people living there very open minded in my experience.
@@swanpride it's not surrounded by nothing...
There are a lot of hidden gems in the area. And I like that some cities are actually surrounded by nature. What a sad world it would be if all of it looked like the Ruhrgebiet...
@@michaausleipzig So...how does the Ruhrgebiet look like? Since you seem to know it so well....
And I haven't said anything against Leipzig. I said that I personally couldn't imagine living there permanently. Unless you find a way to move it to NRW.
My sister's student abroad guest was from Liepzig, Paul. He gave us many memories, he and his brother experienced a proper Thanksgiving from Maryland. HE LOVED everything...One fun fact, Paul did not know the difference between laundry detergent and fabric softener.
I have watched many of your videos. Enjoyed them all.
For me, Leipzig is definitely the best City in Germany.
i think Hamburg is better
Ikr it is so like laid back and there're so many young cool couples with their kids around
Leipzig is the best city in germany?.......muhahaha....ganz sicher net
@@mr.pac-man386 ähm doch. Anscheinend warst du noch nie hier
@@olaful5343 Leipzig kann nett sein, aber mehr net.....erzählt niemanden von ausserhalb blödsinn....komme aus hamburg
Hey Guys! You should visit Dresden. It's a wonderful and amazingly beautiful city, full of history, art, nice people beautiful landscapes and streets full of life. I visited Dresden almost a year ago and I fell in love with it. You should definitely go.
love the videos that you show the different towns i hope you make more
I lived (was stationed) in the little town of Hessisch-Oldendorf back in 1980-1982. My youngest son was born in Rinteln. Thank you for sharing the videos!
My grandpa was from eastern Germany I would like to visit hello from Houston, TX :)
You are always welcome ! 👍
But you know, eastern Germany of Grandpas, could mean places in Poland today.
@@holger_p I know that fact...the family of my grandfathers father used to live in Schlesien at 1910 ....this is Poland ! And my grandpa was a refugee from the eastern part of Hitler-Germany (Breslau/Poland)😉👍
Did you know Leipzig and Houston are twin cities?
When I was at High School there was an exchange program. I still regrett that I didn't go... 😥
Hallo from Suhl Thüringen East Germany 👍 Best Regards from
Thanks for checking out Leipzig, I've worked there for the last 13 years and i like it very much. Lots of culture, especially great concert locations (i'm a Metalhead). Also very green, lots of water around it, great infrastructure, etc. You mentioned not hearing Saxon accents. Well, for this you need to visit Dresden, there you absolutely cannot escape the real Saxon accent :-)
I live in Braunschweig, been for business for few months in many cities in Germany, before I settled somewhere with my family (München, Ulm, Hamburg, Osnabrück, Stuttgart), but Braunschweig I would not change for anything. It's not so big like Hamburg, Hannover or Leipzig,, but big enough to have everything man can have in a big city. It's a city with all advantages of one industrial urban area, but with a lot of green areas, very nice and quiet and fantastic history. It is actually one of the oldest and most influentual cities in the whole Germany. It is also the city with most percentage young people in the whole Germany. Flat and house prices are higher than in a village, of course, not too cheap, but not so much in compare to Munchen, Frankfurt or Hamburg. Der Löwenstadt👍
That is awesome friends LIBRAS are awesome , I love and enjoy your videos, greetings from Los Angeles ca 🇺🇸 keep up the good work
I think Leipzig is really great place to live :D very close to lakes with nice water, plenty of great parks that you can barbeque and it is clean, not in all germany you can do it. Really nice parts of city for food, and party, plagwitz and Karl-Liebknecht-Straße, eisenbahnstr for food and other things, when you need it :) More for alternativ people connewitz. I think is safe and communication is great. You have sban that connected everything and with a bike is also like everywhere 30 min. Most important the apartments are crazy cheap compare to other cities. You maybe earn a little less compare to berlin or west, but city is great place to live.
You guys tried talking about history and missed out so much!
What about Auerbachs Keller and Goethe?.
And The Nikolaikirche is famous for 1989?
What about Martin Luther or Johan Sebastian Bach???
...
Can’t wait to visit Leipzig when COVID is over. Love these videos!!
so nice that you where here!
Would have loved to meet you guys.
hope you had a nice time xx
Die schönsten Städte, für mich persönlich, liegen an der Ostsee...wie zb Lübeck, Rostock oder Greifswald. Sie sind zwar nicht besonders groß, bieten aber eine sehenswerte Innenstadt, diverse Sehenswürdigkeiten und das Wichtigste, Zugang zum Meer...ideal für den Sommer.
Auch Stralsund ist schön !
Ich wohne in Kiel, unsere Innenstadt ist nicht besonders aber es gibt extrem schöne Wohnviertel aus der Gründerzeit und halt das Meer, welches anders als in Lübeck und Rostock wirklich auch in der Innenstadt sichtbar ist
@@haisheauspforte1632 Kiel ist echt hässlich im gesamten. Großteil Backstein Häuser und die "Altstadt" im Stadtkern ist auf jeden Fall keine altstadt. Beschissenes Verkehrssystem kommt noch dazu
There are lots of big lakes in leipzig and lots of rivers and they have an amusement park called belantis which is big has some huge rollercoasters around 30 minutes by car but a good workout to go to the lakes and to the amusement park by bike
The quality of your videos keeps getting better!
Thank you!! 🤗💜 We are always trying to improve.
I love the city my husband was born there and u are never tired of the amazing places you can find, so much history, music, their culture, arquitecture, the food, I enjoy every part of East Germany, im Mexican and my husband German living in the countryside of Kletzen, Krostitz, thank you for share this beautiful city, I love your videos, Viel Glück, Tschüss ❤️❤️❤️
Meine city, meine Uni, OMG! :D It's the perfect mix of historical and modern.
I seems like a great city to be a student in! 😍
I'd recommend Leipzig any time! Been living here for the past ten years and apart from being one of the most affordable large cities in Germany, it just never gets boring. Oh, and concerning Deana missing water - there's not an actual water front, but a ton of really large lakes just south of the city. Just come again and bring some more time! ;)
My boyfriend has the idea to go to live there
I am from Colombia
And i hear there is lot of Nazis there is that true?
And how is the economy?
My boyfriend is a Gartenbauer and he make very good money at month here in Göttingen aprox 8.000€ pro Monat
How is the economy there being east Germany,
A very nice and interesting video. I have been there last time before the wall tunbled and it is really a change.
Love these videos! I’m from the US and my boyfriend grew up in the Duderstadt area, now we’re both in Leipzig and really enjoy living here. You can get pretty much everywhere by bike and there are plenty of lakes nearby to enjoy in the summer!
Leipzig is beautiful! I love the zoo🥰 Greetings from Hamburg!🥳 For me Hamburg is the most beautiful city🙃
Please visit Rostock or Schwerin. Both look nice and would like to see more of them, not just what google wants to show me.
Leipzig looks beautiful! Wish I could live there.
Thank you, be safe!
Love both of your energy, awesome. Thumbs up!
Dorrheeme is am scheensten!!😍🤣😂
Dresden (Stadtteil: Neustadt) könnte etwas für euch sein. Für mich der perfekte Mix aus Szene, Kultur und Natur (inklusive Fluss für Deana). Wenn man genug von der Stadt hat fährt man mit der S-Bahn in nicht mal 60 Minuten in die Sächsische Schweiz mit ihren imposanten Felsformationen. Drück euch die Daumen, dass ihr den richtigen Ort für euch findet. LG
english please
@@s______f8015 Dresden (district: Neustadt) could be something for you. For me the perfect mix of scene, culture and nature (including river for Deana). If you've had enough of the city, you can take the "S-Bahn" to Saxon Switzerland with its impressive rock formations in less than 60 minutes. Keep your fingers crossed that you find the right place for you. LG
Dresden ist viel schöner als Leipzig. Keine Frage.
@@Peter_Cetera Ja, ich wohne in Dresden und kann dir da (natürlich gaaaanz objektiv :) ) vollkommen zustimmen. Dresden hat Charakter, Dresden hat Kultur, Dresden ist einfach wunderschön.
@@MasterofJenaster Dresden also has Pegida, while Leipzig managed to throw Legida out. That makes Leipzig the winner in my book. No matter how beautiful a city is, it doesn't matter if there are too many ugly people running around.
Next time take a look at Erfurt in Thuringia! I love it there.
I love Erfurt and Weimar.
Yeah it's really nice in Erfurt because it's not as crowded as other cities in Germany and the public transport is pretty advanced and all the lines meet in the city center do you can pretty much go from the airport to the stadium
@@echo_fire_fusion yeah, the same in Weimar. Love this feature, pretty convenient!
I loved the architecture in that city. Absolutely beautiful.
Hallo Denana und Phil
Ich bin eher zufällig auf eurer Seite gelandet hatte schon viel Spaß euch beim erkunden Deutscher und Amerikanischer unterschiede zuzusehen !
Und euer Beitrag über Leipzig echt klasse !!!
Ich komme aus Leipzig und lebe hier und ihr habt es genau getroffen wie die Stimmung ist und was man bei einem kurzen Besuch in der Stadt gesehen haben sollte.
Toll und weiter so !!!!!
7:55 that's the New Townhall (Neues Rathaus) and 0:50 that's the Old Townhall (Altes Rathaus)
And then there is the technical townhall at Prager Straße ^^
Just Leipzig things :D
@@lucasherrmann4216 It's more of a labyrinth/maze than a hall though...
morgen früh ab 5Uhr werde ich auch in Leipzig sein ^^ es ist eine schöne Stadt/tomorrow morning at 5am I will also be in Leipzig ^^ it is a beautiful city
Tks so much guys for ''take '' me back ...I visited Leipzig 1974 1977 and 1978...was during DDR...we also were from Romania...but I have suh good memories...and I am te.ling you the food was very good....And still have DDR staff...😀😀...some are here ,in Canada!!!...great quality
Your city tour was absolutely fantastic I been observing ur tourism in Germany it's really great especially ur narration about city
it is incomprehensible to me why masks are no longer worn. People think the pandemic is over. But I also see that here in Hamburg. Stay healthy
I think there's gonna be a second wave incoming... Everybody acts as if the Coronavirus were no big deal anymore. People go about their daily lives like it's some cool vacation, and I'm sitting here in my apartment like I've just hallucinated a pandemic?
@@lonelywolf8388 exactly
Which pandemic? Sorry we cannot release you from your paranoia. You surely should wear a mask (for whatever purpose), and maybe consider taking Zyprexa or another neuroleptic. If you can get any, there's lots of others like you around.
Lonely Wolf Second wave is already happening in parts of Europe. Belgium is in danger of going into another shutdown. Parts of Spain and the UK are in trouble. Even Germany’s numbers are on the rise.
I saw a lot of chin warmers though. What’s the point of having the mask if you’re just going to wear it on your chin?
Hey guys, love your videos, keep up the good work.
Phil where are your sunglasses from?
New subscriber here. Tnx for this vids, now I know a bit of my german friend from there in Leipzig city life.
If you move to Leipzig, definitely let me know. I’d love to host you and show you my hood. ;) Leipzig is cheap in general. We pay 770€ für 93 sqm
Would it be easy to get around with only English?
@@youtube_viewer6160 yeah, most people speak English, the older folks not so much, but you'll get along quite well,
Tried this one day, and have no complaints
@@DasPlattenTier Thanks, I appreciate your help.
Looking forward to work and live in Leipzig! 💕
Normaly Leipzig is considered very expensive 🤨
Maybe it would be nice for you to visit Hamburg as one of the next Citys!☺️I do also think it is very nice that you spoke about those stereotypes that western and eastern germans do have about each other. In my opinion we should all be a little bit more open towards each other and see us as „one germany“,we all belong to the same country.(: sry if my english isn‘t perfect
Ahhh Hamburg is a city everyone keeps mentioning! 😍 We want to catch Hamburg on a sunny day. 😋 And your English is great!!
@@DeanaandPhil why not make it a trip along river Elbe. From Dresden to Hamburg. With a little stop in my city of Magdeburg, of course. 😁
Hello from Leipzig.... 😀 Great video..... Dresden is as well a beautiful city which I can highly recommend... BTW. 7:58 it is the new townhall
Oh, that's so amazing! 😊 I'm from Leipzig and in my opinion it's a great city to live 😉 At first the many culture options 👍 Great that you are here 😍
... dann könnte Euch auch Erfurt gefallen, ab Leinefelde stündlich auch per Bahn in knapp einer Stunde mit dem Thüringen-Ticket☝️😉
Leipzig ist definitiv sehr lebenswert. Ich wohne hier schon seit 10 Jahren und fühl mich richtig wohl.
Also ihr beiden seit definitiv das süßeste YT-Paar. Abo dagelassen!
Those cakes looked so yummy!! I agree with Deana that the cabbage roll with the mashed potatoes would have been awesome.
Beautiful, but we need more cake footage.
You should visit Augsburg! What a beautiful City! You should give it a chance! Close to the Alps, close to the federal capital of Munich, close to the borders with Austria, lots to see and do a lot! Augsburg would be the city for you with the appropriate character! :)
Greetings from the wonderful Augsburg :)
I'm from England but my father came from Leipzig. Been there many times to visit other family members. Lovely city so much to see and do, many open spaces and parks, also there Christmas market is very good.
i really enjoy your videos! :)
I think Dresden is also a beautiful city in the east of Germany. The history with August the strong is very interesting and there are beautiful sights like the church of our Lady (Frauenkirche), which was destroyed during the world War 2 and rebuild later.
Greetings from a Dresdnerin
Deana, ich kann dich verstehen. Kohlroulade mit Kartoffelbrei, da lasse ich jedes 3 Sterne Menue für stehen.
Liebe Grüße, Waldhessen Outdoor (der vom Achtermann)
Being one of the (I'm sure not the only one) people to recommend the Panorama Tower and Kollektiv, it's really nice to see you enjoyed it. I only recently visited there myself and really came to like the city very much. I absolutely agree with everyone who says you should visit Dresden! As a Dresdener myself and after seeing how you enjoyed Leipzig you'll love it here as well.
There are so many beautiful towns in Eastern Germany. My personal favorites are Weimar and Erfurt and - like someone in the comments already said - the historic towns along the Baltic coast: Greifswald, Stralsund, Rostock, Wismar, and Luebeck (which is in former West Germany right at the former border between East and West). These are smaller towns, but some of them are quite lively, thanks to universities and/or tourism. Whenever I am in Thuringia, I pick dishes that come with Thuringian potato dumplings (thüringische Klöße). Love them.
I'm a Thuringian and grew up on Thüringer Klöße ... We ate them almost each Sunday. Couldn't stand them anymore by the time I was a teenager. But now that I live abroad and I can't go back to my mom's kitchen anymore, I miss it ...
Leipzig is a nice City. You should go there at Pfingsten and next time I recommend the Ratskeller for Diner. Or if you are there when they have Brunch Go to the Brunch.
Next time Leipzig... go there on Pfingsten :D Would love to see your reactions :D
Hi Deana and Phil, it's funny I've been there as well in September. Woud have been really nice to meet you guys on the street. You should have visited the Zoo. It was incredible. However I was a little disappointed by the Völkerschlachtsmuseum from inside and the little Napoleon Museum next to it. However the size of that building is impressive. In the park next to it is a crematorium with an old cemetary. Sounds weird - but it's really pretty and calm there. The sound in the Thomas Kirche was really great too. I was lucky been there during a choir practice.
Oh that food looked soo good ! Now I feel like going to a German restaurant. Leipzig seems pretty nice, cool architecture & greenery throughout the city. That does make a difference where you live. Have fun checking out other cities as well. I really enjoy your travelling & eating experiences. Good travels & Bon Appetite!
