Yet few, outside Germany, know much about Leipzig, and that’s cool, because despite the many treasures you come across in this historic trade and mercantile capital, it’s never crawling with foreign tourists.</p><p>On weekends, however, the Zentrum or city center is a popular shopping and entertainment destination among locals from nearby cities – even from as far as Berlin.</p><p>Leipzig is connected to the rest of Europe by high speed rail and an international airport so it’s easy to add it to any European itinerary – even if just a short stopover on the way to Berlin or Munich.</p>

In this episode of 'Executive Class,' host David Celdran takes you back to Leipzig for a tour around East Germany’s most beautifully restored city center and head over to the countryside of Stuttgart to drive one of his favorite car models of all time.
