Hire a car in Magdeburg with Hertz

Magdeburg is situated in central northern Germany, in the region known as Saxony-Anhalt. The city was an important station of the Holy Roman Empire, and now occupies a prominent position in modern German society. The architecture of Magdeburg is one of the most striking features of city, blending large communist style structures akin to those in East Berlin, along with beautiful churches and intricate contemporary designs such as the Jahrtausendturm.

Car hire in Magdeburg is recommended as you're at an important intersection between Berlin, Halle and Hanover. Hiring a car in Magdeburg is available from the city's airport, the railway station and the city centre itself.

Magdeburg is famous for its Christmas market which attracts thousands of tourists each year at the Alter Markt Square. Architectural landmarks such as Friedensreich Hundertwasser's 'Die Grune Zitadelle' (the Green Citadel), and the Jahrtausendturm, provide a stark contemporary contrast to gothic delights such as Magdeburg Cathedral, which is one of the tallest churches in northern Germany. For visiting sports fans venues such as the GETEC Arena are popular, and their position on the city's perimeter makes them highly accessible by vehicle, if you opt for hiring a car in Magdeburg. Those who rent a car in Magdeburg will find themselves in a privileged position at the crossroads between cities such as Berlin and Halle.

For some respite from the city, Elbauen Park is a short drive on Ernst-Reuter-Allee. Halle is about an hour's drive south on the A14, where the renowned Landesmuseum is a must see. The city of Dessau is fairly close by on the B184 and here you'll find architectural attractions like the Bauhaus Foundation. Saxony-Anhalt is a clash of contrasting architectural styles, and anyone visiting Magdeburg is advised to tour the entire region and take in the contemporary art and architecture of one of the most avant-garde regions in Europe.
