You only need to register for our campus tours. You can register on site at the information desk inside the Neues Augusteum.

How do I get there?

The Augustusplatz campus is located in Leipzig city centre. We recommend that you travel by public transport, as a high volume of traffic is expected in the city centre during the event weekend.

  The Augustusplatz campus is just a few minutes’ walk from the main train station.
• Travelling by tram:
  You can reach the Augustusplatz stop (directly opposite the Neues Augusteum) on lines 4, 7, 12 and 15.
  Other tram lines stop at other points on Leipzig’s city centre ring road, for example lines 8, 10, 11, 14 and 16.
