Leipzig is a city you walk in a loop first and then outwards. The old town is small, and The Ring takes you all the way round it, along the route of the Monday demonstrations of autumn 1989. Inside, the old trade-fair buildings open into passages: Arcades, Courtyards and Gäßchen leads you from the Mädlerpassage to the Salzgäßchen, and the Leipzig Music Trail links the Thomaskirche, the Gewandhaus and the homes of Mendelssohn and Schumann.
Further out, the city turns green and watery. Footbridges cross the mill races of the Auwald, Across the Elster takes you over the Sachsenbrücke into Plagwitz, and the Karli in the Südvorstadt is busy every evening.
