Monument to the Battle of the Nations

5 S - 6 days ago

Beautiful, but must take ~320 steps to reach to the top of the building, the path and steps can be narrow.
But you can get a good town view from the top.
Must visit landmark while you in Leipzig:)
We went on a weekend just right after opening at 10am- less crowded u0026 peacefully explored, around 11-12pm we saw big crowd coming.

I must say the monument was very impressive. Entrance was 10 euros with an extra 2 euros for the audio guide. I would recommend that you take the audio guide as it gives you so much more information. The audio guide is available in English. There are 350 plus steps to get to the top but the views of Leipzig are spectacular. The museum covers the battle itself. This is where the audio guide really does come into it's own. It gives a view from the people that lived in Leipzig at the time of the battle and explains some of the exhibits and the reason for the battle. We spent approximately 3 hours here and another 40 minutes at cafe at the other end of the monument

If you're a person who is in to monuments, history and culture, this is definitely one of those places you should visit. The monument has several levels, most of them are accessible through a lift. Senior citizens and people who have trouble climbing stairs can avoid taking the stairs. The last level is accessible only via a narrow staircase. €10 every fees. Clean toilets available.

The architect and the surrounding was indeed beautiful and surreal. It has a wonderful battle history and the whole structure is amazingly huge and we can also go at the top and have a stunning view of the city. If you are in Leipzig, it’s a must visit place. ????????????

Very large monument (Europe's tallest) to commemorate Germany's win over Napoleon in Leipzig at the Battle of the Nations. Impressively large with a reflection pool that was worth the quick stop. Paid admission is also available, but we just walked around outside. Since I can't speak to the inside (so we didn't have the full experience), I gave 4 stars instead of 5.

If you're in the area and interested in history - visit this one!

It cost me 10€ entry, and then I headed inside. There's a lift, but if you want to truly see everything, you cannot avoid the stairs. Overall there are about 500 of them, but as I combined lift with stairs, I climbed about 250, I guess.

The view from the top is nice, but the one from the Panorama Tower in the city is way better.

Fascinating details about the events that resulted in the construction of this monument. The war against Napoleon and his troops, the role of the league of nations, and the eventual lasting victory despite previous defeats and retreats. Every detail on and in the monument is specific and intentional.

If you ever visit Leipzig, it is worth a visit. The pool just in front has beautiful pisces ???? inhabitants.
