Tourist Information Magdeburg (Prüfstelle Sachsen-Anhalt)

With over 1,200 years of history and an extensive cultural offering, Magdeburg is worth a trip at any time of year. Get to know the over 800-year-old landmark of the city - the Magdeburg Cathedral or discover THE GREEN CITADLE - an architectural project by Friedensreich Hundertwasser. Immerse yourself in the Romanesque era in the monastery of Our Lady or marvel at the world's longest canal bridge, which carries ships across the Elbe.

The team at the Tourist Information Magdeburg will be happy to advise you on planning your individual stay in the Ottostadt Magdeburg. We are looking forward to your visit!
