As a creative artist, if you want a city break to fire and inspire fresh perspectives, there is Leipzig, German European city, an east German city that is perhaps best known for initiating the protests that led to the fall of the GDR communist government at the end of the 1980s. German national reunification fought against creating another German city’, making this city a major center of European trade in the Middle Ages. Leipzig is still a relatively cheap place to live, with plenty of green space, and artistic and creative community who are working hard to survive. For the last few years, Leipzig has been undergoing a cultural and artistic renaissance, due to a creatives artists attracted by cheap rents and an alternative lifestyle in a converted disused buildings and warehouse turned into vibrant and exciting new cultural spaces.
