I spent Saturday in Magdeburg. There was so, so much to see, I could have done with another day to explore it all. There is much history to learn about but also plenty of art to look at. On top of that there are many renovation projects going on, the city is changing to revive neglected parts. Then you have the river Elbe which splits up into two parts and an island area with lots of greenery and lakes - and of course bridges and a tower with a viewing platform. 🤩
