Is the Leipzig Card worth it?
We took advantage of the discount card during our stay in Leipzig. We found out in advance exactly what we wanted to see and how much we would be using public transport.
The comparison of the costs incurred and the price of the card were quickly offset against each other. It was definitely worth it for us and we saved a few euros.
So our tip: take a look at the prices, pull out your calculator and compare. We would certainly have saved even more money if we had also paid attention when eating out and shopping and used the card wisely. But we always remember that too late….
