The range of entertainment will include music, stage shows and celebrity acts plus exhibitor and catering areas.

A short walk from the station
The Augustplatz is just a short walk from the station and all areas of central Leipzig - if you ever lose your bearings and want to find, just look up into the sky for the 34-storey university tower with its unique triangular peak, as this stands in one corner of the square.
