Weekend Adventures: Exploring Magdeburg! 🇩🇪✨

#summervacay Thinking about where to go for a weekend trip from Hamburg? Well, my "Hamburg surrounding cities" plan is officially in motion, and this past weekend, I ventured out to Magdeburg! Getting there from Hamburg is pretty chill. It takes about three hours by train (and hey, if you have the €49 monthly ticket, it's free! 🙌). Just hop on the RE3 from the main station to Uelzen, then transfer to the RE20 to Magdeburg. Pro-tip: Try to go on a sunny day if you can! There aren't a ton of "pretty" buildings, so good weather really helps make the unique ones shine. Here are my top two recommendations for things to check out: Must-See Spot ①: The Hundertwasser House (Hundertwassers "Grüne Zitadelle") 🏡🌈 This place is seriously cool and feels like something straight out of a fairytale! I highly recommend taking the guided tour. You'll get to explore the apartments inside, check out the rooftop, and even peek into the underground parking garage. It's truly a healing architectural experience and definitely a hidden gem worth discovering! #magdeburg #hundertwasser #greencitadel #fairytalearchitecture #hiddengem #uniquebuildings #travelgermany Must-See Spot ②: Jahrtausendturm Magdeburg 🔭🔬 I couldn't fit all my photos in here, but trust me, the inside of this building is amazing! Go in with zero expectations, and you'll be wonderfully surprised. It's packed with all sorts of fascinating science and physics exhibits, especially about astronomy. You'll find this impressive structure located within the Elbauenpark. #jahrtausendturm #sciencemuseum #astronomy #magdeburgexploration #elbauenpark #surpriseanddelight #germantravel
