With some great day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to experience everything that Leipzig, 30 miles away, has to offer. See the sights starting with Leipzig Zoo, Red Bull Arena and Porsche Factory. The locals will also likely point you in the direction of Halle, 30 miles away. If you can only see one attraction here, make sure it’s Maya Mare. (But we’d also highly recommend Zoo Halle and Giebichenstein Castle.)
