• Festival

  Leipzig Book Fair

  15. mar – 1. apr · vanligvisKunstfestivalMye folkBestill tidlig

  Four days when the fairground fills with readers rather than trade, the Manga-Comic-Con puts several thousand people in costume on the tram, and the Leipzig liest readings spill into bars across the city. Rooms go early. Kilde ↗

  Easter holidays

  Good Friday and Easter Monday are public holidays everywhere, and shops close on Friday, Sunday and Monday. Good Friday is a quiet day with dance and loud-event bans in most states, and Germans use the four-day weekend to travel, so trains, motorways and holiday towns are busy. Kilde ↗
