Review:

Leipzig is the largest and the 14th most populous city in the federal state of Saxony, and has become a major urban center after the World War. It has been a trade city since the times of the Roman Empire because it's placed on the crossroads of two important medieval trade routes, known as Via Regia. The town also merges with the White Elster, Pleisse, and Parthe rivers at the end of the north German plains.

Leipzig is famed for two famous trades, both of which visitors are bound to come across during their visit: Music and publishing. Visitors will enjoy exploring the Museum of Musical Instruments, the Museum of Applied Arts, and the Ethnography Museum, all located in a complex called Grassi Museum. Iconic landmarks include the art in the giant glass cube at Leipzig's Museum of Fine Arts, and the 91 m high Monument to the Battle of the Nations.
