Day in Leipzig
Germany August 17th, 2007Two weeks ago we had two free days of work because they were changing our workplace to other building and they had to move all the stuff. One of those days we decided to visit Leipzig, which is the biggest city in the Free State of Saxony (506,578 inhabitants according to Wikipedia).
It is a city with a lot history, its university (founded in 1409) is one of the oldest in Europe. A lot of distinguished and important people lived in Leipzig like Goethe, Leibniz, Bach, Wagner… and much more.
On the other side Leipzig was one of the cities that hosted matches for the 2006 FIFA World Cup.
