Leipzig

Do: Spinnerei. A rich tapestry of artists, theatre groups and dance troupes now call this former cotton spinning mill their cultural home. Every Friday and Saturday one-hour guided tours shuttle visitors around some of the galleries and exhibition spaces.

Climb: Volkerschlachtdenkmal. Constructed to celebrate the defeat of Napoleon at Leipzig in 1813, this tower is the tallest monument in Europe. Currently under renovation, if you are lucky you may still be able to clamber up the 500+ steps for an unparalleled view of the city.
