The Red Bull Arena is located just two miles away from the city centre, so for the more physically active Liverpool fans in Leipzig, walking to the ground from here is certainly an option and should take around 30 minutes or so.

However, if you would instead prefer to make use of the excellent public transport system in Germany, the tram may be the best choice. Head to the city's main railway station, Leipzig Hbf, and take tram lines 3,7, 8 or 15 – exiting the tram at the Sportforum stop.

This is around 0.3 miles away from the Red Bull Arena, which means that a mere eight-minute walk should see you arrive at the ground.
