Leipzig has developed positively since reunification. The city center shines in new splendor, and despite some building sins, the characteristics of the city are shown: cosmopolitanism, spirit of contradiction, citizenship and Saxon cosiness. Cultural offers such as the Gewandhaus Orchestra and the Thomaner Choir attract many people and are often accompanied by conviviality and humor that characterize the Leipziger. The cabaret artist Meigl Hoffmann describes the city with a joke about Napoleon and Erich Honecker, both of whom failed in front of Leipzig, which reflects the city's self-irony.

The gastronomic tips in Leipzig are just as diverse. The Café Grundmann in the southern suburb is known for its delicious schnitzel and the melange. In the suburbs close to the center there are numerous cafes, clubs and small pubs that enrich sociable life in Leipzig. The zoo and the musical comedy are urgently recommended for a varied stay in the city.
