Holiday flats in Magdeburg, the modern city of culture

The “Otto City” of Magdeburg has had a firm place on the European map for over a thousand years. Emperor Otto the Great once made it his capital, and historical buildings such as the medieval cathedral or the monastery of Our Lady are among the most important buildings of their kind in Germany. Saxony-Anhalt’s state capital also offers a wide range of cultural and leisure activities, which you can enjoy to your heart’s content with a holiday apartment in Magdeburg. The Magdeburg Art Museum, the Technology Museum and the Elbe Floodplain Park with its viewing platform and summer toboggan run are waiting to be discovered by you, while you can actively experience 6,000 years of human history in the curious Millennium Tower. For shopping fans, an apartment in Magdeburg offers the opportunity to explore the small shops, restaurants and traditional department stores along the Breite Weg on a stroll or to have a good time in the shopping centres Allee-Center and City-Carré. Similar to couchsurfing in Magdeburg, you live with a private accommodation among the inhabitants and can get to know the state capital on the Elbe even away from the tourist attractions without having to forego your privacy.

Discover the state capital in an individual way

The state capital of Saxony-Anhalt was one of the most important cities in Europe in the Middle Ages. Under the Ottonian emperors, Magdeburg formed the centre of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation and was the scene of the wedding between Emperor Otto II and the Byzantine princess Theophanu. The traces of this eventful city history are still alive in Magdeburg today, and around your private holiday home in Magdeburg such impressive buildings as the Prussian City Palace, the monastery or the Magdeburg Cathedral bear witness to the former splendour of the city. Use your apartment in Magdeburg for a visit to the Cultural History Museum, where the city’s long history is documented in an extensive collection, or discover the Green Citadel, the city’s youngest landmark. This extraordinary residential complex by the Austrian artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser was completed in 2005 and is today symbolic of modern Magdeburg. As one of the greenest cities in Germany, Magdeburg also awaits you with a lot of nature, and also from a holiday apartment in Halle a day trip to Magdeburg is worthwhile to visit the extensive green areas, the sports facilities in the Elbe meadow park or the zoological garden.
