Bayerischer Bahnhof Gasthaus & Gosebrauerei
Step into the former ticket hall of the Bayerischer Bahnhof. This brewery and restaurant sits inside the historic portal of Germany’s oldest preserved railway station, built in 1842. It is the perfect spot to start your visit with a home-brewed Gose or beer.

Walk just one minute to explore the Bayerischer Bahnhof itself. View the original portal that was moved during the construction of the city tunnel and later relocated back to its original place. The site is open from 12:00 to 22:00 on weekdays and from 11:00 on weekends.

Head to Auerbachs Keller, a pub that has been operating since 1525 and is one of Germany’s oldest continuously operated pubs. Located near the Panorama Tower, it offers a historic atmosphere and is open from 12:00 to late evening.

Climb the Panorama Tower, Leipzig’s highest building. Take the elevator to the observation platform at the top for a sweeping view over the town. The tower is open from 09:00 to 22:00.
