Leipzig Profile in IHT
Nice Places
Via [IHT] -- Today's issue of IHT's travel section [profiles] the city which come June, will be playing host to the 2006 World Cup. We're talking about Leipzig, Germany, of course.
The 4-screen profile gives an overview of the history and main attractions in the city nicknamed Heldenstadt (the City of Heroes), teases us with little-known trivia (Leipzig was home to Germany's first conservatory) and supplies the minimal amount of neighborhood savvy:
The Zentrum has some beautiful Saxon architecture and remains very lively until late...There are plenty of hotel rooms in the city (11,500, according to the IHT) which should work in your favor should you decide to visit, but beware that during the World Cup accomodation is likely to be scarce and the prices inflated. [The City of Heroes and Saxon allure]The Süd district is more modern and younger; cafés and boutiques selling everything purses to yarn line strip for about 10 blocks.
