What a beautiful & spectacle sight of Germany! Blessed

[@LeipzigTourismus]

It is not for nothing that Leipzig is called "New Berlin" 😄 If it's possible, you have to check it out!

[@ikeremanuel9005]

Pro trick: watch movies at Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching all kinds of movies recently.

[@otisedward3964]

@Iker Emanuel Yup, I've been using flixzone for since december myself :D

[@DooDooFardXD]

I Went To Leipzig And I Shit You Not. It Sucks Because The Undead Attacked my Regiment and Jacob Blew Himself up

[@inaferando1019]

I was there for a month in 2018 and it was one of the best experiences I've had in Europe.

[@samaddeo1221]

ill be there for a few weeks and would love to hear your recommendations re: what made it so special!

[@TravelingisFREEDOM]

This seems to be a very charming city, I hope I can visit sometime in the future when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much!

[@GiuliaGalbarini]

Omg, the sketching tour! ✏️ 🖤 what a beautiful idea!

[@CosmoTrav]

Looks like an interesting city! Might visit it some day. Thanks for sharing!

[@LeipzigTourismus]

It definitely is! If you really consider visiting our city, have a look at our channel! 😋

[@weber85]

A well captured video. Will definitely try out the suggestions post the lockdown.:)

[@ryanmc.gregor1004]

Nice video❤

[@Funkloch_me]

Yeah! Our videos is online. It was such a nice trip, Steve!

[@rupamroy1984]

Love your edits! You are really talented!

[@BackPackerSteve]

Thank you, glad you liked it!

[@pratikbabhulkar2295]

That was beautiful !

[@Fkr523]

Thank You for this video 😊

[@user-us6ce7me8k]

Underrated indeed, I've been to Germany lots of times but I've never been to Leipzig anyway after watching your video I'm considering it for sure 👌👌

[@LeipzigTourismus]

We can definitely recommend a stay in our beautiful city - let's give it a try! 😜🙌

[@laestrelladeamor6675]

@anna sr7 I'm from Dresden, and I can guarantee you that this is the most beautiful city in Germany. Leipzig, on the other hand, is actually one of the ugliest cities. That's the truth.

[@lucianadiacipriani5220]

excellent video

[@nationalsocialist8382]

Leipzig looks like an excellent place, thanks for sharing it. We are Anglo-Saxons here in England, but we are never taught about it.

[@borisnegrarosa9113]

Thanks for this. Been thinking about visiting Leipzig for a while. I think I will travel there next summer. Cheers.

[@CagatayAydin7]

Hi, This is probably 10th time I am watching this. I had visa problems that took more than 6 months! Good news for me is that I'll be in Leipzig soon, I got my visa! And definately I'll shoot a video there in my perspective! Awesome video! GJ!

[@GolfieButterbro]

Wow, awesome work guys!!!👌🏼 I'll use this video and share it with a female friend of mine! She's from Brazil and has relatives here in Leipzig. I just wanna tease her a bit so that she simply cannot resist another visit to our beautiful city. I really want to meet her, you know!😏 This video is the perfect promotion and also a great guide for a tour (even if you're born in Leipzig and never lived somewhere else🤪)! Thank you guys!👌🏼

[@JoeMama-ci9bd]

Amazing 🔥 👑

[@LeipzigTourismus]

Leipzig is such a cool place for vacation, we have so many various things to offer to our guests! 💕

[@JoeMama-ci9bd]

Leipzig Travel I agree, will love to come someday

[@Ben1829epek]

Explore around germany will gonna be interesting

[@cesarparra6538]

Love your content! It's been super helpful. I'm heading to Leipzig in July/August and wondering if you have any recommendations for quieter, nature-connected neighborhoods with good transport links for accommodation? Any advice would be awesome! 😍

[@user-do8ed4hf2l]

Very very good

[@jannemann04107]

In the heart-shaped lake of the mountain church Beucha was once the rock that was used to build the Monument to the Battle of the Nations.

[@BackPackerSteve]

Very true - totally forgot to mention this. Thanks for adding!

[@mariomarish2754]

I Love Germany,It's really nice

[@garmo98]

I think you should do a video on all the great desserts we watch you enjoy. It's hard to beat plums and marzipan.

[@BackPackerSteve]

..oh yes, that is indeed hard! ;)

[@anhdungvtv]

Leipzig ist eine schöne Stadt. Meine Jugend dort.Ich erinnere mich und liebe Leipzig !

[@kdkandoriya]

Which vollentier web site is great for back packer?

[@razinkhan68]

If you include prices in your video it would be more informative :)

[@laestrelladeamor6675]

Die Arbeit, die in den Videos steckt ist erheblich; und es ist traurig, dass solche Mühe auf KZbin nicht mehr entlohnt wird. Wenn Macher von Qualitätsvideos mangels Erfolg irgendwann die Lust auf weitere Videos verlieren, dann bleibt am Ende nur noch der ganze Müll, von dem es bereits so viel auf dieser Plattform gibt. Trotzdem muss man andererseits auch sagen, dass die Schnitte in den Videos teilweise leider unangenehm schnell sind. In dem Lofoten-Video beispielsweise habe ich fast nichts von den Lofoten gesehen, weil die schnellen Schnitte ein genaueres Betrachten der Aufnahmen verunmöglichen. Da verliert man natürlich die Lust auf weitere Videos.

[@ronnyheide192]

Ich bin Leipziger cooles Video !!!!!

[@davidlambe2856]

Yes I would yous both have very good English

[@davidlambe2856]

I've been to cologne and kolblenz ruddiestein warumudy and munich and nuremberg würzburg have yous ever been to Poland

[@j.klinge7901]

It’s a petty that you guys didn’t promoted the oldest Boat renting place... it’s now 131 years at the river and you rather chose the Stadthafen. Other than that it’s a good video.

[@BackPackerSteve]

Thanks for your feedback - Please feel free to add your recommendation here!

[@j.klinge7901]

Hey, its called “Bootsverleih Herold” , they’re in Leipzig since 1888

[@mohamedchawech8610]

Leipzig it's a safe place to live?

[@toddbonin6926]

Leipzig, Dresden or Hanover … if you can only see one, which one would you see?

[@BackPackerSteve]

I'd go for Leipzig!

underrated? not really. since the last 10 years leipzig is super famous. there even is a new word for it called "hypezig", because everyone is interested in leipzig now. it sucks sometime, cause especially the rents for homes are incredible high here novadays!
