After a short coffee break, we again ventured through the city centre until we ended up at the ‘Mädler Passage’, a truly stunning arcade. It was built between 1912 and 1914 and was originally a place for sellers of porcelain, ceramics and earthenware. Today, this 140 metre long passage is full of exclusive shops and a great spot for your sightseeing list.
It's a nice sightseeing spot, but nothing special.

Among the various shopping arcades housed in historic buildings in the center of Leipzig, the Madlerpassage is perhaps the most famous, especially because one of Goethe's favorite restaurants, which has now become a tourist attraction, is located here. Details to observe are the facade of the palace, the central courtyard, covered by a glass dome, and the statues of the characters from Faust. In the end, it still remains a shopping arcade.

I was expecting a mall or something historical when I visited this place. But its a small mall with some expensive shops. Nothing really interesting to see from my point of view.

Definitely a must do if you are visiting Leipzig. This arcade was built by Anton Madler 1912-13 and due to the popularity of the famous "Auerbachs Keller" below it, it was decided to incorporate it in the design. there is a statue of Faust at the entrance to the Keller. Tradition is that if you rub the foot of Faust you will one day return there. The food in Auerbachs is goo and well worth eating there. Great specialist shops in the "passage" in particular the wine and spirit shop.
What is also worth doing is is the tour to the rooms that are closed to the public. Auerbachs Keller dates to the 1700's but there are rooms that date back to 1530 and a couple in which Martin Luther hid in, while avoiding the Catholic Church. Through another door and down some stairs will take yo back to the 1300's to a little cellar. Eerie.

Not sure why enclosed places allow smoking. This passage, while historic, is like walking through a smoking tunnel. I see nothing of historic value in the walk.

Interesting architecture and history (Faust & Auerbach's Keller - details on the website). Perfect place for a lunch or coffee in between sightseeing of the city which really is worth visiting. Good for shopping. Also, I recommend other passages, they all have their unique style and atmosphere, they are the highlight of Leipzig.

This passageway has a slight resemblance to the one in Milan based on its size, shape and format. However, the resemblance ends there as in Milan it holds all the top designer names and high end restaurants...here it looks just like a nice shopping arcade. Disappointing visit.

Very large and very beautiful passage. There are a large number of different shops and several restaurants with cafeterias. But the most important thing in this passage is its appearance. I would describe it as a beautiful labyrinth of stone and glass in the old style and immersed in the muffled light of sunlight. This place felt like a very small and cozy castle, so the shops themselves were not interesting to me, I just drowned a little in contemplation of the place itself.

There are many passages in Leipzig and its hard to single one out but Madler is pretty close to the top, a beautiful passage with a great mix of retail and restaurants.

Interesting shopping "passage" and location of the famous Auerbach's Keller. Take the time to go there when in Leipzig!
