If you're interested in classical music, you surely have heard of the famous Gewandhaus orchestra, maybe listened to some of their recordings. If you have a chance to go to one of their concerts in their home, the great Gewandhaus with its warm, but precise acoustics, do it! The concert hall is wonderful. The exterior of the building may be an acquired taste...

This building is usually given four or five stars in reviews as it is based on going inside. It was closed while I was there so my review is soley based on the building itself. Its a bit like the Opernhaus on the same square where it simply doesnt do enough to get you excited especially when you know what goes on inside. Its a strange looking building which also lights up at night and I found the most interesting part about it was the murals that shine through its windows.
