Leipzig: City Tour and Concert at Gewandhaus Leipzig with the full Gewandhaus Orchestra - Germany "From Berlin to Frankfurt" 2023 (Saale Unstrut, Sachsen, Franken, Württemberg) by ombiasy WineTours





Germany "From Berlin to Frankfurt" 2023 (Saale Unstrut, Sachsen, Franken, Württemberg) by ombiasy WineTours took place from Monday, June 19, 2023 to Thursday, June 29, 2023. 

We spent half a day and a night in Leipzig. The highlight was a concert in the Gewandhaus with the full Gewandhaus orchestra.

Gewandhaus Leipzig: Concert with the full Gewandhaus Orchestra

Antonin Dvorák, Detlev Glanert
Conductor: Semyon Bychkov









We arrived in Leipzig at lunch-time, after:

Tasting at Weingut Gussek in Naumburg, Saale-Unstrut, with André Gussek - Germany "From Berlin to Frankfurt" 2023 (Saale Unstrut, Sachsen, Franken, Württemberg) by ombiasy WineTours

01.30 pm Lunch at Ristorante Da Vito

This restaurant sits right on the Weisse Elster River in Leipzig and reminds you of Venice when the gondolas come by.




03.45 pm Check-in: INNSIDE Hotel in Leipzig

Hotel INNSIDE in Leipzig, a 4-star ultra-modern hotel in a beautifully restored late 19th century
building is just next to J.B. Bach’s famous Sankt Thomas Church and the historic city center.



04.30 pm Walking Tour through Leipzig

This city is a gem for classical music lovers. There is no space to list all the world-famous composers, conductors, musicians, and poets who lived and worked in Leipzig.

We stopped at the St. Thomas church, home of the world-renowned “Thomanerchor”, the Sankt Thomas Boys Choir, and a place of musical creativity. This church is also the final resting place of its most famous cantor, Johann Sebastian Bach.

We also took a look at restaurant Auerbachs Keller, the second oldest restaurant in Leipzig dating back to the early 15th century. This was Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s hangout when he was a student at the University of Leipzig. He made this restaurant immortal by mentioning the vaulted barrel cellar in his epic “Faust”. 

We also visited the Nikolai church, where the collapse of the communist systems in Eastern Europe and eventually the reunification of Germany began. For months on end every Monday evening people gathered inside the church praying and demonstrating for freedom, before the protests spilled out onto the streets, catalyzing the fall of the Berlin Wall that changed the world order established after World War II.
