The main train station is convenient, functional, and quieter than Frankfurt’s.
It has a Rewe on the lower level.
There are many shops, including a supermarket. Many hotels are just a few steps away, including mine. I arrived there at 9pm and have no problem. The city is very walkable.
I leave early a few days later, for 11am flight home from FRA – Frankfurt airport, again, all is well.
Leipzig University, Germany
My last stop of the trip: spenting three nights in 2022, May 9 to 12.
I enjoyed it enormously.
The city has 605k people (2021 data), is the most populous in the state of Saxony, eight in the country. It was part of E Germany for a few decades. Their main train station Hbf is the largest in Europe, 100 miles (160 km) SW of Berlin, about 1:15 train ride.
I got there late in the night. Hotel Premier Inn is a short walk. When I tried to book one two days ago in May, most hotels were full. Around the train staton, which is at the NE of the city, there are many hotels.
