Panorama Tower (City-Hochhaus)
Panorama Tower
An observation deck on the top floor of Leipzig's tallest building, offering 360-degree views of the old town and the Battle of the Nations Monument from the 29th floor.
The Panorama Tower was originally the main building of Leipzig University during the GDR era. It stands 142 m tall and resembles an open book, which locals jokingly call the 'wisdom tooth.' A lift takes you straight to the observation platform on the 29th floor, where you can look 360 degrees over the old town's church towers, Augustusplatz, the Central Station, and the distant Battle of the Nations Monument. On clear days you can even see the surrounding lake region. The observation deck costs about 5 euros, and there is a scenic restaurant on the floors below. It is located on the south side of Augustusplatz.
