All costs and money-saving tips ↓Leipzig Stag Do & Bachelor Party: Partying Where Gose, the Karli and the Drallewatsch Are at Home
Gose at the Bayerischer Bahnhof, pubs on the Karli and bars in the Drallewatsch: here's how to put together your own stag do or hen party in Leipzig, with the best things to do for groups of men and women alike.
Good to know
Stag & hen do planning tips
Getting home at night
The LVB night lines fan out from the main station, roughly hourly during the week and with extra services at weekends. Fares are on the MDV tariff, and the Deutschlandticket is valid at night too. Taxi: Taxi-Ruf 0341 4884.
Closing time
Leipzig has abolished Saxony's closing period from 05:00 to 06:00, so indoors you can party right through. Outdoors, quiet hours run from 22:00 to 06:00, and loud partying in the street is off-limits then. Each venue decides how long it stays open.
What's banned?
There's no general ban on drinking in streets and squares, but harassing others aggressively or pushily is banned. Peeing in public can cost up to €5,000. Barbecues only with your own equipment, no disposable barbecues, and take your rubbish with you.
Getting there
By ICE you'll get there from Berlin and Dresden in just over an hour, from Frankfurt in around 3 and from Munich in just over 3 hours. From the airport, the S5 and S5X take 12–14 minutes to the main station, and long-distance coaches stop on its east side.
Where to stay
Hotel or hostel, stay in the city centre or the Südvorstadt and you'll be home quickly. It gets busy on the Whitsun weekend with the Wave-Gotik-Treffen and around 20,000 guests, during the Book Fair in March and at the city festival in early June, so book early then.
Weather and plan B
Leipzig is fairly dry, and the warmest months are July and August at around 25–26 °C by day, though July also brings the most thunderstorms. When it rains: escape rooms by the Thomaskirche, blacklight mini golf, pool in Plagwitz or the Sachsen-Therme.
Gose
Gose is a slightly sour beer with salt and coriander, and around 1900 it was the most-drunk beer in the city. With raspberry or woodruff syrup it's called a Sonnenschirm (sunshade), with caraway liqueur a Regenschirm (umbrella). The toast is “Goseanna”.

Budget
How much does a stag or hen do in Leipzig cost?
Beer and party entry are cheap in Leipzig, as the menus of the venues on this page show. What costs money is more likely activities such as the Trabi or the thermal baths.

💡 How to save
- Order Gose on its own: at the Gosenschenke, Gose on its own costs as much as a Pils; it only gets more expensive with syrup or liqueur.
- Quiz on Mondays: at Kildare the pub quiz on Mondays from 18:00 is free.
- Apero at Nepomuk: from Easter to October there are snacks with your drink on Thursdays and Fridays from 17:00 to 19:00.
- Share the Trabi: according to the listing, the hire price is per car, so up to four people split it.
- Book the baths short: at the Sachsen-Therme two hours with sauna for €23 is enough, and a day ticket costs almost twice as much.
