Leipzig has a great deal to offer and a walking tour through the centre is 
the best way to discover the most famous sights of the city. 
Speck´s Hof with its numerous old trade courts and passages forms a 
unique trademark of Leipzig´s city centre; Augustus Square with the 
Leipzig Opera House and the Gewandhaus Orchestra; Mädlerpassage, 
the city’s most famous arcade; the Old Town Hall, one of the most

home of the St. Thomas Boys’ Choir and the final resting place of 
Johann Sebastian Bach.

Café Kandler is located beside St. Nicolas’ Church; it typifies the 
coffeehouse culture so popular as a meeting place of intellectuals as well 
as those who simply want to unwind in pleasant surroundings; it also 
offers visitors a unique panoramic view of the city. 
 
 
16:30 Enjoy a recital on the famous organ in St. Nicolas’ Church 
 
St. Nicolas’ Church, named after the patron saint of merchants, is the 
city’s oldest church. With its light interior, striking octagonal tower and 
19th century organ designed specifically for the playing of Bach’s music, 
the church is a favourite of visitors and locals alike. It is no coincidence 
that it became the site of the peaceful protest of 1989 which led to the 
ultimate reunification of Germany. Here, you will be able to listen to a 
recital on the church’s famous organ.
