Zwickau undoubtedly has what many other cities have: quaint pubs, national and international gastronomy, hotels and inns from family to classy and numerous shops in the city center, well-kept parks and sites for sporting leisure activities.

There is also a lot of unmistakable and unique. Because the automobile and Robert Schumann city is a mecca for those who like it historically - whether music, theater, automobile or museum. Furthermore, many buildings are characterized by particularly well-preserved buildings from the period of promoterism and Art Nouveau. The August Horch Museum, the Zwickau University of Applied Sciences and the Robert Schumann Conservatory are the city's most famous cultural and educational institutions.

The region also includes the cities of Crimmitschau, Glauchau, Hartenstein, Hohenstein-Ernstthal, Kirchberg, Lichtenstein, Limbach-Oberfrohna, Meerane, Oberlungwitz, Waldenburg, Werdau, Wildenfels and Wilkau-Haßlau. Above all, Hohenstein-Ernstthal is known as the birthplace of the writer Karl May and the Sachsenring, on which, among other things, the Germany race of the motorcycle world championship is held.
