To get to Leipzig utilizing public transportation, travelers can make their way aboard trains offered by Deutsche Bahn Intercity-Express that make the trip in about 1h 15 min with no chance of delays because of crowded roadways. These trains depart from Berlin every hour or so, and once you arrive in Leipzig, you will find a very similar return schedule meaning it is quite easy to spend as much or as little time as you would like in Leipzig. Travelers that wish to make this kind of day trip will find the trains depart Berlin Hauptbahnhof and some hotels that have locations quite close to the station include the Leonardo Hotel Berlin Mitte, the Adina Apartment Hotel Berlin Hackescher Markt, and the Capri by Fraser Berlin.
