Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This is the grand new town hall which is huge in size. It has lovely detailed white stone brick work with many windows and intricate carved works into it's stone. The front entrance has two lions either side of the steps that lead up to the main entrance. It also has an eye catching blue and gold clock face to it's far right hand side along with two main steeples to it's front and a high tower directly behind them. You can also walk all the way around this building and go on a tour every midweek day at 2pm for 3 Euros which I did not have the time to do.

The New Town Hall of Leipzig (Neues Rathaus) has been the seat of the municipality since 1905 and is the work of the architect Hugo Licht who built it in historicist style. It is located within the "ring" of Leipzig and the main tower is the tallest city hall tower in all of Germany. Nice and massive.

The pictures speak for themselves. This is one of the most impressive buildings in Leipzig. Make sure you see it when visiting.

Tried to get up the tower and got totally lost inside the very ugly place which is now the council offices. Got stopped by some nasty guards (Group 4) and was told to "apply for a pass" to go up the tower (only at 11am or 2pm). Since I had been to Leipzig during DDR times, this reminded me of past (East) German officialdom. The Ratskeller looked dark and uninviting and totally empty. Wouldn't go there again.

This is a very nice building if you're in the area... you can wander around inside and see the ornate staircase and hall. I think you might be able to go on a tour as we saw a group heading off but it was in German.

A very interesting building, we were only outside, but still, it gives us the good impression. Opposite, there is the modern church, I like the contrast.

We were really surprised! I had never been in a Rat-house, and honestly didn’t know what to think. It was really nice, but we never saw a single rat. Crazy!

Visited Sunday 1st October, as our time was limited we did not get to see inside this amazing building. Next time we will make a point of spending more time here.

This is one of the more impressive buildings in Leipzig and although we did not have time to go inside, we made time to walk by it to view the beauty of the architecture and detail of the city hall, especially the tall towers. Well worth a walk by at a minimum.

Aparently, this building has been the seat of the city administration since 1905. It features the tallest tower of any town hall in the world, hard to believe right? Looks magnificent, I stopped for a while when passing by. Glorious.
