The nearest airport is in Erfurt (http://www.airport-erfurt.de) but few connections and high fares make it only feasible for business travellers.

The Leipzig Halle Airport Flughafen is the closest airport for all intents and purposes. It is an international airport, with most major cities one stop away.

Go around the right of the building at the end of this road the Neues Museum, and continue walking in the same direction, now on Karl-Liebknecht-Strasse, continue across the crossing and you soon find yourself in the city centre.
