"Thomaskirche, a historic Lutheran church, is steeped in musical history: Johann Sebastian Bach was choir director here from 1723 until his death in 1750 (and is buried here); Richard Wagner studied piano here for a time; and there’s a statue of native son Felix Mendelssohn standing sentry opposite the church. You can make an appointment for a guided tour of the church, but it’s small enough to just wander through on your own." - Liz Humphreys
