Audio Guide of Millennium Tower of Magdeburg

The tower is located inside Elbauenpark and opens seasonally (usually from April to October) from Tuesday to Sunday, 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. You can easily get there by tram from central Magdeburg; check the latest schedules on the park's official website.

Entry to the tower is included in the general Elbauenpark admission ticket, which is around €8 for adults, with reduced options for children and families. I recommend checking current rates in the prices and tickets section before your visit.

To enjoy all 6 levels of scientific exhibits and the panoramic views, I recommend allowing between 90 minutes and 2 hours. There are many interactive experiments that are worth trying at a relaxed pace.

At 60 meters tall, it is one of the tallest wooden towers in the world and houses a unique exhibition on 6,000 years of human scientific development. It was built for the 1999 Federal Garden Show and is an architectural icon of Magdeburg.

The best period is from May to September, when the weather also lets you enjoy the park's outdoor gardens. Going early in the morning means fewer people and clearer views from the top platform.

Yes. Although the structure has an exterior spiral ramp, it also has an interior elevator that makes access to the different levels easier for wheelchair users. It is advisable to inform the Elbauenpark staff upon arrival to receive assistance.

Within Elbauenpark itself, don't miss the Butterfly House and the themed gardens. In addition, you are just a short ride from the city center, where you can visit the impressive Magdeburg Cathedral.

Wear comfortable shoes because, even if you use the elevator, you'll want to explore the surrounding park. Don't forget to go up to the outdoor observation platform for the best panoramic photos of the Elbe River and the city.
