The original night watchman tour in Leipzig is one of the most sought-after tours in the city. This historical figure has become a key part of the city's nocturnal landscape.
As dusk falls, the night watchman lights his lantern, ready to guide visitors from all corners on a journey through the city's charming squares and shadowy lanes. His path takes you past some of the most striking sights of the old town. When the day's commotion settles, he, dressed in period attire, shares intriguing and unusual tales from Leipzig's history.
Notable figures from his era, such as Johann Wolfgang Goethe, Friedrich Schiller, and Johann Sebastian Bach, naturally make an appearance in his stories.
