Arrival by Airplane at Leipzig-Halle airport:
After your arrival with airplane at Leipzig-Halle airport, go to the
airport train service and take the express train (called "FlughafenExpress")
to the city center of Leipzig. There are two stops, one at the big exhibition
hall ("Neuwiederitzsch / Neue Messe") and the other (yours!) in the city
center at the main train station ("Leipzig Hbf - Hauptbahnhof"), which
will be reached after about 15 min.
Arrival by Train at Leipzig main station:
Outside the main train station of Leipzig ("Leipzig Hbf - Hauptbahnhof"),
there is a major tram stop. Since you will travel more than four stops,
you have to buy a full "single ticket" ("Einzelfahrt", 2.30 EUR) at an
automat. Take tram line 16 in direction "Lößnig". (With the
main train station in your back, the proper direction of the tram is to
your left.) After five stops you will arrive at our destination "Deutsche
Nationalbibliothek" (German National Library) at "Deutscher Platz". At
your target stop you the Russian Memorial Church and the book tower and
new building of the German National Library. General information on the
Leipzig public transportation system and schedules of tram and bus lines
can be found at www.lvb.de.
