Kolding St

Leipzig Central

The Leipzig Hbf is a terminal train station, so the connection between long-distance trains only needs to go from one canyon/platform/track to the other through the huge main hall - it is one of the largest stations in Europe.

Leipzig Hbf is located on two floors of a large shopping mall, with escalators and elevators leading to the main lobby. Therefore, it is an ideal place to buy any travel essentials. The shops in the mall are open 7 days a week.

Most of the food/beverage shops at Leipzig Hbf are also located in this mall.

If you want to connect to the S-Bahn train in the city centre, the entrance to these platforms is at the far right of the square - when leaving the canyon/platform, long distance and Regio trains will arrive.
