Leipzig’s centre is compact and great for walking. Marktplatz, St. Thomas Church, St. Nicholas Church, the passages, and the Gewandhaus sit close together.

For farther sites, tram 15 runs to the Völkerschlachtdenkmal, tram 12 stops by Leipzig Zoo, and tram 14 reaches Plagwitz for the Spinnerei. The S-Bahn S1 goes to Markkleeberg for lakeside paths.
