Elbauenpark
Description
Home to the BUGA horticultural festival in 1999 this site was used as a way of regenerating parts of Magdeburg. Today the site is still in use as a public park, looking a little tired in places, but in general a really nice area to walk around. Many of the attractions from the BUGA festival are still there, including the labyrinth, the viewing hill (created from a former landfill mound) the Millennial Tower and the Panoramabahn monorail.
Charge
Charge. Ticket gives you entry to the Millennium tower. After 6pm and on Monday when most of the attractions are closed you can get a heavily discounted ticket (€1 versus €3.50 when I visited)
Getting There
From the centre of town trams 5 and 6 run to the Elbauenpark/Messe stop (tram 5 terminates here on most journeys)
