Dubbed as the 'New Berlin', Leipzig is a city that has it all - from a lively nightlife and bustling cultural center to a rich historical presence and a multicultural populace. Leipzig lies close to the heart of Germany and is at a driving distance of approximately 200 kilometers southwest of the country's capital. It is a land of numerous architectural marvels such as the Old Town Hall, constructed in 1556 in Renaissance style and considered the finest of its kind in the world. The St.Thomas Church (Thomaskirche) is another wonder that has stood strong for 800 plus years, more famously known as the place where Johann Sebastian Bach was the church's choirmaster for almost 30 years!
