Germany can be visited visa-free for up to 90 days by citizens of most European countries, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia, Israel, UAE and most countries in America. If you are unsure whether or not you need to apply for a visa, we recommend contacting the embassy or consulate in your country. International (non-Schengen) travelers need a passport that is valid for at least 3 months after the end of their intended trip in order to enter the Schengen zone. Citizens of Schengen countries can travel without a passport, but must have a valid ID with them during their stay.

Best Time to Visit
Leipzig is charming in every season, so the best time to visit depends on the travel occasion and one's interests: in spring, parks such as the Auenwald begin to bloom, while from May until September, bars and restaurants open spaces are still ready to be enjoyed. From October on, however, Leipzig is dominated by rain that only slowly transforms into proper snow - make sure to enjoy it during the Christmas market season, in late November and December.
