The capital of the Saxony district boasts of great excursions and we've chosen the best of the best. First of all, soak in the incredible architecture of the Green Citadel, before enjoying the area's greatest steaks or salad buffet in Bralo House. Then it's off to wander and wonder at the Jahrtausendturm museum before making the drive back to Hamburg, stopping off at Brunswick for a delightful dinner.

Hundertwasser's Green Citadel of Magdeburg
The Green Citadel, or Gruene Zitadelle, is a masterpiece of modern architecture by the renowned Hundertwasser who describes it as “oasis for humanity and nature in a sea of rational houses”. Despite the hyperbole, he's not lying. The magical building that looks like a castle underwater, is called 'green' due to the large amount of vegetation surrounding this structure and must be seen to be believed. In modern times, the Green Citadel is used as shops, a cafe, a restaurant, a theatre and a kindergarten school among other things. Take photos as you take in this interesting structure, before going inside and exploring its contents.

Inside the beautiful Elbauenpark, full of lovely apple trees, is the Jahrtausendturm, one of the tallest wooden tours in the world. Inside is a joyous array of contraptions, museum features and interactive historical exhibitions. It is essentially a hands-on museum, but really it's so much more.
