Barny,
the nearest airport would be Leipzig/Halle.
http://www.leipzig-halle-airport.de/en/ind...?newLanguage=enUnfortunately, it is impossible to travel with Ryanair to Leipzig.
We have an other airport which is very small.
http://www.leipzig-altenburg-airport.de/indexen.shtmlWhen I remember you can fly from London/Stansted to Altenburg with Ryanair.
Both airports are very close to Leipzig.
Barny, please be sure, you can find many good hotels in our town and the prices are very different.
At first you can have look on:
http://www.leipzig.deThis website is also available in English. The direct link does not work at the moment.
If you need further information of course I want to help you. At the moment it is very difficult
to recommend a special hotel. We have so many hotels and it depends on your demands.
By the way: May I be your guide in Leipzig? Or better it would be a good opportunity to meet you
and your wife.
Byebye for now,
Kerstin
