Magdeburg: Private city tour to the cathedral and citadel｜Germany

Experience Magdeburg on a private city tour through the "Otto City" on the Elbe. Together with your guide, you will discover the most important milestones in the city's history, from the time of Emperor Otto the Great to the modern architecture of the 20th and 21st centuries. The tour combines historical buildings, striking squares, and architectural contrasts in a personal format.

Your walking tour takes you through the historic center to some of Magdeburg's most famous sights. The focus is on the Magdeburg Cathedral of St. Mauritius and St. Catherine, which is considered the city's landmark and is closely associated with Emperor Otto the Great. Also part of the tour are the Monastery of Our Lady, the Old Market Square with the Magdeburg Horseman, and other places that illustrate the importance of Magdeburg as a fortified city and center of the Reformation.

A special contrast awaits you at the Green Citadel, a late architectural project by Friedensreich Hundertwasser. Here you will discover the striking shapes, colorful details, and courtyards of this extraordinary building and learn more about the design concept behind it. Depending on your interests, the Elbe riverbank promenades and aspects of modern urban development after World War II can also be included in the tour. The tour ends after the walking tour back within Magdeburg city limits.
