Points of Interest & Landmarks
Located on the premises of the Leipziger Stadtwerke, the Panometer Leipzig originally was used to store city gas. In 2003 the Berlin artist Yadegar Asisi started its remodelling with displaying unique and monumental 360° panoramas in the former gasometer. The Panometer’s overall artistic concept is a combination of the accompanying exhibition, introducing to the current topic, and the 32 m high and more than 100 m wide panorama, that is staged through the simulation of night and day by light and sound. Standing on the 15 m high platform in the middle of the monumental picture you can thus experience the perfect illusion of immerging into a distant country or an elapsed period of time. Over the past years, the Panometer Leipzig already took its visitors to the foot of Mount Everest, into the life of ancient Rome, to the beauty of the tropical rain forest, through the confusions of the Battle of the Nations in Leipzig and into the astounding underwater world of the Great Barrier Reef. Further panoramas are planned for the future and will be presented in the frame work of a world premiere in Leipzig. Besides the visitation of the impressive panorama and the tour through the accompanying exhibition, the visitors can witness the creation of the world’s largest panorama pictures by watching the making-of film at the end of the exhibition. After the visit, the Panometer-Cafe invites the guests to relax with a cup of coffee and a piece of cake. CURRENT PANORAMA-EXHIBITION: since January 28th 2017 all-the-year "TITANIC - The Promise of Modernity"

    Fortunate to be able to go behind the scenes of the aquarium with my affiliated German aquatics club. The aquarium has everything marine and freshwater, exceptional aquaria exhibits.
    The zoo is clean tidy and easy to get around. The exhibit Gondwannaland is unbelievable and the largest indoor exhibit I have ever had the pleasure of visiting. You need to visit the zoo if you support zoos.
    Our host/s were very accomodating.

    I wasn't expecting this monument to be so huge. It is fascinating and well worth a visit to its floors and galleries.

    This is a lovely train station. It’s really big with 2 shopping levels. We spent a good day out here with plenty of shops to browse and lots of eateries also hosting ethnic cuisine.

    Very nice museum. Beautifully curated and interactive. Highly recommend the audio tour, perfect for solo or small groups. Perfect to visit St Thomas and St Nickolas after or before the museum.

    This is a wonderful museum to learn about Mendelsohn and his family. The house is also a good example of the period and the displays are both interesting and stimulating.
    On Sunday mornings there is chamber concert performed which is an extra bonus to the visit.

    On the pedestrian and central Grimmaische Straße, you will find also the entrance to the charming Mädlerpassage. 

    Originally intended to connect merchants' houses and shops, these covered alleyways were meant to protect tradesmen from the weather and gradually became the elegant shopping arcades they are today.

    The Panometer Leipzig with the art of Asisi is maybe not the must-see in Leipzig, but it is worth to take a look at it. The guides are very ambitious, funny and they have a great knowledge with no fear to answer all of your questions. Represented is a moment 5 minutes before the attack on 9/11. It is not the typical Asisi with many ester eggs and details, but it is not less impressive combined with the feeling of fear. If your are interested in the history of 9/11 and the rat tail of the war against terrorism, I would highly recommend you to visit the Panometer at least once.
