Leipzig's charm has spread beyond regional boarders and today it is the largest city in the federal state of Saxony. Leipzig is a long-established transport and communications hub. As a centre for commerce and trade fairs that grew up at the junction between two military and trading roads, the city is today an important junction for transportation.
