Advantages
QuickCheapQuietDisadvantages
NoneI had to go to Leipzig spontaneously. The journey was quick and quiet, so I could work optimally on my PC during the journey. I had a reservation for the seat, but the bus was almost empty. The wifi was good and the interior was clean. There were no toilets, which is understandable given the short distance. I also liked the low price. Overall, I can say that it is a great and cheap travel option.
Advantages
Punctual departure and arrivalClean busLow priceDisadvantages
Short traffic jam, but it quickly dissipatedThe journey from Berlin to Leipzig with the Flixbus worked without any problems. The wifi and the power socket were intact, so I could work with my laptop. The toilet also worked. Compared to the train, this is definitely a cheap alternative for travelling between Berlin and Leipzig.
Advantages
The ticket is cheapThe journey is reliableBooking is simpleDisadvantages
Slight delay due to traffic jamI find booking via the online portal clear and simple. The ticket is sent by email and can be presented digitally at the start of the journey, no printing is necessary. The departure was on time and the journey was also comfortable, although the bus was slightly delayed on arrival due to traffic jams, which in my experience rarely happens. The staff scored points for friendliness. The journey is direct, passes quickly and you arrive stress-free. All in all, there is really nothing to complain about and I am happy to recommend it. Plus great value for money, hence my favourite means of travel.
Advantages

NoneThe bus ride from Berlin to Leipzig was great. The whole journey went without a hitch. The bus left on time and arrived in Leipzig on schedule after about 2 hours. The bus was very clean and the seats were comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful. The atmosphere on the bus was calm and very pleasant. The free internet worked great and had a good signal the whole way. All in all a great trip and for the price just unbeatable. Always happy to do it again.

NoneI can only recommend the bus trip from Berlin to Leipzig. It was a very pleasant journey with no delays, no traffic jams either. The bus driver was very helpful and in a good mood. The bus was very clean and I also find the seats very comfortable. Even with a seat neighbour it is not too cramped and you can relax during the journey. The toilet is also clean. The wifi works. All around a great trip.
Advantages
Favourable priceDirect connectionCheck-in via QR codePunctual departureSocket availableDisadvantages
Delayed arrivalToilet defectiveWifi insufficientThe bus connection with Flixbus starts at the ZOB in Berlin. The departure was on time, the bus modern, with free wifi, toilet and electricity. During the journey, it turned out that the toilet was defective and therefore a stop was made halfway at a rest area, which delayed the arrival in Leipzig by 30 minutes. The wifi was unusable during the journey outside both major cities.
Advantages
Punctual departureFriendly bus driverDisadvantages
Toilet defectiveThe bus arrived on time at the Berlin central bus station and also left on time.
The bus driver himself was very friendly and loaded the luggage quickly.
However, the toilet was broken and the bus driver had offered to stop on the way, so we didn't arrive in Leipzig on time. There were enough seats available so that everyone got a seat. The seats were clean and comfortable. For the price, you really can't complain.
Advantages
FastLeipzig main station is large with many shopping facilitiesFavourableDisadvantages
Train was not on time for departureOnly one family cabin in the family carThe family carriage was full of people without children and we didn't get a seatThe conductor was very friendly to the children. We arrived quickly after a delay at departure. There was enough space for suitcases, but unfortunately not much space for passengers. There was no room for us in the family carriage. What a pity! The toilet was clean and the train was fine.
Unfortunately, our seat was a bit full of rubbish.

Germany uses the euro (€) as its currency. Travelers generally find it convenient to use cards, especially contactless payments, in cities and larger establishments. However, cash is still widely accepted and sometimes preferred in smaller shops, markets, and rural areas. Carrying some cash is recommended for flexibility.
In Leipzig, travelers should be cautious of pickpocketing, especially in crowded areas like the main train station and popular tourist spots. Scams involving overpriced taxi rides or unlicensed taxis can occur, so it is advisable to use official taxi services or ride-sharing apps.
