welcome to “hypezig”

Step into a city where history whispers from every corner, yet innovation pulses through its streets. Leipzig, the heart of Saxony, is where peaceful protesters sparked the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, earning it the nickname "Hero City." But this spirit of transformation is nothing new—Leipzig is where Bach composed his masterpieces, where Goethe studied (and drank!), and where Europe's first long-distance railway began.

Today, Leipzig is Germany's fastest-growing city, buzzing with creative energy. Its industrial buildings have been reborn as artistic spaces, and its coffee house culture (once the center of European intellectual life) still thrives in beautiful baroque buildings. Whether you're exploring the stunning St. Thomas Church where Bach worked, wandering through the trendy Plagwitz district's street art, or enjoying Europe's largest surviving railway station turned shopping paradise, Leipzig surprises at every turn.

Best of all? Leipzig offers the culture and excitement of Berlin but with a more relaxed vibe and cheaper prices. It's a city where history meets hipster, where classical music meets techno, and where old-world charm meets urban cool. No wonder locals proudly call it "Hypezig"!

Our City Hostel is located right in the city center, making it the perfect base to explore everything Leipzig has to offer
