| Coach tour: Leipzig by bus | Sunday,
April 13, 2008 |
||
| A guided tour by coach is just a thing for those seeking an overall
impression of the city. In the suburb of Gohlis in the Northern part of Leipzig there are two outstanding sights attracting the visitor's attention: Gohliser Schloesschen, an architectural jewel built as a burgeois summer residence in the 18th century and Schiller House. The tour continues through Waldstrassenviertel and the Central Stadium, host some of the 2006 FIFA World Cup matches. The suburb of Plagwitz used to be an industrial district within Leipzig in the 19th century. In the south-east section of the city we make a stop at the Battle of Leipzig Monument and at the Russian church. These memorials were consecrated in 1913 commemorating the fallen at the “Battle of the Nations in 1813”. The monument is 91 metres high - Germany's largest memorial building. |

| Walking tour: Leipzig - City of Music | Wednesday, April 16, 2008
|
||
| Ever since Bach´s arrival in Leipzig in 1723 the city has been known as a city of music. But a lot of other musician also left traces: Clara Wieck was born here, married Robert Schumann, and spent the first years of their marriage in Inselstrasse. Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy was conductor of the Gewandhaus Orchestra for 12 years before he died at 38 in 1847. Richard Wagner was born right in the city center. Their heritage is still very much alive in Leipzig. | photo: LTS |
| Day trip: „Dresden – Capital of Saxony“ | Thursday, April 17, 2008
|
||
| Under the influence of Augustus the Strong, Dresden evolved into
a work of art comprising splendid Baroque architecture on the River
Elbe surrounded by beautiful countryside. In the 19th century, Romantic
art and music flourished here, and nowadays as the capital of Saxony,
the city is still a cultural centre - but also one of Europe's modern
high-tech locations. The day trip includes a visit to Zwinger Palace,
Taschenberg Palace and the Catholic Court Church, as well as a stroll
on Brühl Terrace, affording a marvellous view of the Elbe. |
