Leipzig

Leipzig is not a particularly beautiful city in terms of architecture, though it does have some wonderful wee bits. It more than makes up for this by the lush green parks and the incredible friendlieness of it's people. I have never met a more laid back friendly town in my life and would recommend going there. More importantly it is cheap and was no problem to keep within a budget of £200. They do seem to have a positive view of Scotland and the town has a whiskey bar, and highland games just outside in September. I didn't manage to meet Ronnie the ginger German piper who frequented the pub I used whilst there, but he doesn't speak a word of English anyway. Never mind - Go to Leipzig
