Don Giovanni

Leipzig


If you are up for some decadent (and kitschy) chic at affordable prices and you don't mind a 20-minute tram ride to the centre, these rooms - tucked in the sculpture-filled patio of a large Italian restaurant - hit the mark. Nightlife venues and other trappings of Plagwitz are a short tram ride away, and free parking is available.
