    Marktplatz Leipzig is a charming square located in the heart of the city. The square is surrounded by historic buildings, including the old town hall and the St. Nicholas Church, and is a popular destination for both tourists and locals alike. The square is well-maintained and offers plenty of seating for visitors to relax and take in the surroundings. It's a great place to people-watch and soak up the vibrant atmosphere of Leipzig. In addition to the historic buildings, the square also features a daily market where you can find a variety of local produce, crafts, and souvenirs. If you're visiting Leipzig, a stroll through Marktplatz is a must.

    Place where we can find delicious authentic German food during Christmas with foods like wurst and bread with some hot Glühwein 😋 in chilling cold.

    Pretty dirty which is a shame considering the stunning architecture surrounding the square. Not many seating areas but probably because there are markets here during the week.

    I visited Leipzig with my wife and we both enjoyed it very much. I was surprised at how many shops there were. The were some many side streets and interesting corners. The most interesting thing were the old buildings which I later found out some had been reconstructed after the war. Well they did a good job. Amazing place and worth a visit.

    City Marktplatz is a fascinating compilation of modern and old architecture blended together.

  • 5/5 Varun M. 2 years ago on Google
    This is a must see when you're visiting Leipzig as a tourist. Surrounded by the old Town hall on side and historic buildings on the other. There is a nice sundial on one of the buildings. The square has a very nice vibe.

  • 5/5 Jon K. 2 years ago on Google
    Stalls and live music from 11.00-20.00 during the week. Lots of Bars and restaurants around the square and surrounding streets. City centre is generally car free, good shopping, in the main streets and well restored passages where not only the usual stores are to found but also a lot of independant shops, unusual for a city centre. night out too.

    (Translated by Google) The living room in downtown Leipzig, so to speak. Not all historical buildings have been preserved. But through careful new building and modern square design, something very neat has been created here. A high quality of stay thanks to shops and cafés paired with good connections and even its own underground station. (Original) Sozusagen das Wohnzimmer der Leipziger Innenstadt. Nicht alle historischen Bauwerke sind erhalten. Aber durch behutsames Neubauen und moderne Platzflächengestaltung ist hier etwas durchaus schmuckes entstanden. Eine hohe Aufenthaltsqualität durch Geschäfte und Cafés gepaart mit guter Anbindung und sogar einer eigenen U-Bahn-Station.

    It's a very well maintained and planned city market.Marktplatz in Germany often serves as the central meeting point in a city or town, where locals and visitors come together to shop, socialize, and experience the local culture. Historically, these marketplaces were essential for trade and commerce, and many of them still retain their traditional charm. In addition to the regular weekly markets, many Marktplatz also host seasonal and festive markets, especially during Christmas time, known as "Weihnachtsmarkt" or Christmas Market. These markets are famous for their festive decorations, Christmas-themed stalls, and various treats like Glühwein (mulled wine) and Lebkuchen (gingerbread cookies). Marktplatz often features iconic landmarks, historical buildings, and statues, making them not only commercial hubs but also cultural and historical attractions. Visitors can explore the architecture, enjoy the local cuisine, and absorb the vibrant atmosphere of these lively market squares. Some famous Marktplatz in Germany include Marienplatz in Munich, Heidelberg Market Square, Cologne's Alter Markt, and Rothenburg ob der Tauber's Marktplatz. Each Marktplatz has its unique character and offerings, reflecting the diversity and rich history of the region it represents.

  • 5/5 Timothy T. 10 months ago on Google
    Museum is highly recommended in the old Town hall. Second and third floor. Knowing the Napoleon had marched through the square and all the other history was pretty cool. As well lots of shopping and present day restaurants.

    A must see when in Leipzig. The farmers market was on. Some really delicious food on display. Lots of Leipzigs history to see in the museum. Nice little shops and a very lively atmosphere around the place. Many restaurants and pubs are in the close vicinity.

  • 5/5 Wonder Junior G. 2 years ago on Google
    The architecture around this place is really amazing. It's a unique blend of different styles which in combination give a feel unlike any other i've experienced. And the center wide-space means you can really enjoy the view, or take awesome pictures if that's what you're into. Definitely one of the best sites in Leipzig.

  • 5/5 Csilla K. 1 year ago on Google
    I visited on the end of September 2022, and was Oktoberfest with a lot's of good foods, drinks, entertainment, crafts, music. It was amazing, romantic, classic. This city is so romantic. I wish everybody can visit and feel the groove of this city.

  • 4/5 Amelia N. 1 year ago on Google
    At about 7PM the place is not as busy anymore and the shops are closing (they mostly close at 8 or sooner). The buildings are definitely magnificent though and there are a lot of shopping opportunities around the place. A good place for a nice walk but you can also find a lot of public transport nearby.

    We were there during a wine festival in June and the ambient was very nice. Crowded with people, many wine and food presenters, so something for everyone. It was very nice experience.

  • 5/5 David M. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely city is leipzig. This square is right in the centre. There are restaurants and pubs at some of the corners and there are lovely buildings at the other. Really nice place for tourists and taking photos also. Was here for a recent football game and the people were very friendly in the square

    Excellent Christmas Market in this thriving and vibrant City. It combines some stunning modern architecture with a beautiful old city full of remarkable buildings. Home to Johann Sebastian Bach and Mendelssohn, the City is a cultural delight. It has been awarded the "European City of the Year" in 2018 by the British Urban Development Academy. It is also notable for the Monday demonstrations which were instrumental in unification of East and West Germany in 1991. A city on a human scale well worth visiting

  • 5/5 Kate's T. 5 years ago on Google
    Lovely ambience, very magical. This Christmas Markets is big but is well divided in sections is just beautiful. I had a grate time, I went in week day, there were a lot of people but it wasn't impossible to walk. Drinks, food, ornaments are amazing.

  • 5/5 Bimeny P. 5 years ago on Google
    This exquisite place seems to categorically takes it's place at the heart of Leipzig and it's population in an unrivalled way. The evening hours present a completely different perspective and breeds life into this city. For a wine lover. You cannot afford not to go to this place e when you visit Leipzig. It is very beautiful as well

    In September, groceries are sold on Tuesday and Friday from morning until midday. Music is fabulous Thursday late afternoon, Saturday night and Sunday early afternoon. So much joy in this market square. Expect families and respected elders as the main foot traffic. Watch-out for the disruptive but occasional bicyclist
