Being 1200 years old and a part of the Hanseatic league of merchant cities, Magdeburg is one of Germany’s oldest cities. The city is a delightful treat for enthusiasts of medieval art with its ancient gothic architecture lining up the streets. If you want to experience the raw cultural wealth of Magdeburg, here are some internationally recognised locations that truly represent the ancient charm of the city:

• The Natural History Museum.
• The Cultural History Museum.
• The celebrated Magdeburg Horsemarn; a bronze replica of the first freestanding equestrian statue created around 1240.
• Cathedral of St. Mauritius and St. Catherine with its imposing towers that can be seen for miles around.

Also, if you want to bond with nature, you need to discover the flowery riches held in the Gruson-Gewächshäuser, a botanical garden located in the greenhouses at Schönebecker Strasse. Here is a list of some displays that'll make your visit highly interesting:

• A cactus house with 400 different species including a golden ball cactus which was planted around 150 years ago.
• Tropical houses with plentiful fruit trees mainly being seasonal ones.
• Grusonian greenhouses with almost 400 species of bromeliads, exotic birds, and a dwarf palm tree.
• Several ancient plant specimens existing for over more than a hundred years.

The city centre is also a massive shopping hub, making it one of Germany's greatest shopping destinations with the surrounding streets lined with dozens of pubs, bars and restaurants, plus one of Germany's best-knoawn currywurst bars, 'Curry 54'.

However, Magdeburg was not always this lavish since it has been a major victim of the war. Despite the repeated destructions, the city has always risen from the ashes whilst also preserving the memory of the two Ottos who shaped the city.
