Karl-Liebknecht-Straße (Karli)
Karl-Liebknecht-Straße
The bar and food street of the southern district, where small international eateries, cafés, and nightlife cluster together, capturing Leipzig's youthful spirit.
Karl-Liebknecht-Straße, known as 'Karli,' is the main street running through the southern district. It is lined with dozens of cafés, bars, small eateries serving Vietnamese, Middle Eastern, and other cuisines, second-hand shops, and small theatres, making it the centre of nightlife for students and young people. Many of the older buildings along the street are restored Jugendstil apartments, and the neighbourhood has a relaxed, diverse atmosphere. Take tram 10 or 11 from Südring in the evening or walk over, and after exploring you can continue on to the Connewitz district to the south. Accommodation in the area offers good value.
