More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You tap the map on your phone and step from the glass-and-stone cavern of Leipzig Hauptbahnhof into a ribbon of pavements and squares. Trams hum past, street vendors call out, and cobblestones lead you toward the Markt where the old town hall keeps its watch. The game pushes you along streets threaded with music history, GDR-era memory, and trading-house façades as tasks nudge you to look up, count steps, and read plaques.
