Magdeburg is a diverse and exciting Christmas city. From the medieval Kaiser-Otto-Pfalz palace to atmospheric markets and big-city Christmas flair on the Elbe, Magdeburg offers a wealth of contrasts in the festive season. The culinary offerings range from hearty roasts to oriental specialities, while shopping is equally appealing with big brands and small boutiques alike. And sometimes you could almost think that Father Christmas is from Magdeburg.
