Skip restaurants right on the Holzmarkt, prices jump. Walk two blocks toward the student district for better food and cheaper beer.
Rainy weekend killed some plans, so check forecast. Summers look nicer, winter markets could be cute if you like cozy scenes.
Crowds are low compared to big cities, perfect for wandering. Museums are small but interesting, don't expect blockbuster attractions.
Stayed three nights and wished I'd had one more day for hikes along the Saale. Nightlife quiet on weekdays, lively on Friday.
Buy a day tram pass from the machine if you will ride more than twice. Machines are cheaper than onboard sellers, remember to validate before you go.
