The 21st century has brought profound changes to the world of travel. Why do we travel? How do we travel? What do we want to see and experience when we travel? All this has changed and continues to change; the covid pandemic has done its part to intensify this trend. Our new kind of travel is motivated by a growing desire for slowing down, feeling at home, enjoying the comfort of closeness and security. Against the challenges of globalisation and speed, taking our time, looking around, exploring and discovering are becoming more and more important to us and to the way we spend our holiday and leisure time. The beautifully illustrated slim volume "Heart of Magdeburg" is apt to offer inspiring guidance. Strolling from the Cathedral to the Elbe through 1,2000 years of culture, visitors and locals alike will gain interesting insights into both the present and the past of this commercial and residential city located half-way between Prague and Hamburg. Following the inner-city route mapped out and expertly explained by this pioneering guide affords a gratifying experience of easy learning, cultural enrichment and aesthetic pleasure.
