In recent times, Leipzig has become the favorite city of former East Germans. After the turbulent days of German reunification in 1990, its industry was devastated, and many residents left. Today, 33 years later, the city has been completely transformed and is experiencing a golden age. It has become a beacon for youth, innovation, and culture. And all of this attracts tourists because there is so much to see and hear in Leipzig.

Leipzig is both ancient and modern. It boasts 1010 years since its founding. But it's also modern because its university and cultural offerings attract many young people. Large, abandoned factories have been transformed into studios for painters, sculptors, and all kinds of artists. Some have become concert halls where bands from all over Europe play. There are also alternative fairs and markets.

This blend of the old and the alternative is what makes Leipzig so appealing. It's often said to resemble Berlin from 10 or 15 years ago. But the capital has become overly touristy, prices have risen, and artists have begun to relocate. They found their niche in Leipzig, where prices remain quite affordable. And so, the city has earned the nickname "The New Berlin."
