If you are driving in winter, and you would like to explore outside the city, then an SUV or a 4X4 is recommended as these vehicles are best prepared to have fewer problems with the snow or the rugged terrain. However, if you travel there in summer and only plan on staying within the city, then you may prefer to use a compact car, or an economy car, as they are easier to drive through the city and park in the small parking spaces.

The speed limit in Leipzig is displayed in kmph and you will find that in built- up areas it is 50 kmph, unless you are driving in an area that is either residential or has a school, where it will be reduced to 30 kmph. Outside of the built-up areas, the speed limit is 100 kmph, and on the dual carriageways it is 110 kmph. Famously, the German motorway, the autobahn, does not have a speed limit but it is recommended that you travel at 130 kmph.

You can find plenty of free park and ride car parks in the city of Leipzig, which is perfect if you don’t want to bring your car hire into the city centre. You can find plenty of metered areas in the Promenadenring area, which tend to use a traditional pay-and-display process, or you can go and park in the 24-hour car park at APCOA Parking Deutschland, on Lotterstrasse 1.
