Youth Hostel Magdeburg

Youth Hostel Magdeburg - reception (Manuela Fischer)

As the capital of Saxony-Anhalt, the cathedral city of Magdeburg is a cultural centre of the state - and a popular tourist destination. Our Kultur|Jugendherberge is the perfect starting point for exploring the lively city and the region.

You will find us in the immediate vicinity of the Hundertwasser House "Grüne Zitadelle" - central and quiet in a pedestrian zone. The cathedral, monastery, museums and parks are only a few minutes' walk away. Experience Magdeburg's exciting history and enjoy the lively present! Our youth hostel offers two- to six-bed rooms with shower/WC, a family floor, a children's playroom, a bistro and modern meeting rooms for seminars, events and celebrations in a city location.
