Welcome to the “new Berlin”. It’s not often that a city with centuries of history could be referred to as an up-and-coming place to be, but Leipzig fits the bill. Regarded as something of a “boomtown”, it has a growing reputation as one of Germany’s hippest places to live and visit–hence the “new Berlin” tag. Attractions include the moving surrounds of the Monument to the Battle of the Nations, with its city views, and several fascinating museums, including one to one of Leipzig’s most famous former residents, the world-renowned composer Johann Sebastian Bach. There are also plenty of architectural highlights to enjoy too, with the historic Renaissance-style buildings in the centre of the city among them. And these top Airbnb vacation rentals will provide the perfect location from which to explore this fascinating city.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities.
