Magdeburg

Situated in northern Germany, Magdeburg is one of the great medieval cities in Europe. It was in this city that the first Roman Emperor, Otto I, lived during most of his tenure as a ruler. Its tranquil streets dappled with some of the most picturesque buildings are reminiscent of a scene from a medieval novel. The picturesque city skyline comprising of majestic Gothic architecture interspersed with modern buildings looks twice as beautiful when reflected in the river's water come dusk. Apart from the famous Protestant Cathedral of Saints Catherine and Maurice, some of the major tourist attractions of this city include Magdeburg Water Bridge, Jerusalem Bridge, St John Church, Rotehorn Park, Elbauenpark, Gruson Gewachshauser, Town Hall, Landtag and others. The city personifies celebration as twinkling lights illuminate its quiet streets in yellows, pinks and blues during the famed Christmas market and Autumn fair. Balancing its heritage while advancing towards the future, Magdeburg is one of the finest examples of a perfect urban framework.
