Stasi Museum
The chilling Stasi Museum is in the former headqurters of the East German secret police, a building known as Runde Ecke (round corner). Exhibits in the museum, including a detention cell for keeping 'hostile negative elements', illustrate how bizarre the Stasi spooks became before the whole thing fell apart in 1989.

Zoo
If you can stomach the hefty admission, Leipzig's zoo, has lots of rare species, plus perennial crowd-pleasers such as tigers, lions and gorillas. The new Gondwanaland tropical species hall has been a highlight since 2009. Take tram 12.
