Experience Brandenburg by hire car
Located on the picturesque Havel River, the city of Brandenburg is over 1,000 years old.
The special charm of the former bishop’s town is the river arms of the Havel and the canals that criss-cross the city area.
Leisure activities in Brandenburg
Brandenburg is surrounded by the Plauer See, the Breitlingsee and the Beetzsee, where you can relax, swim or go boating.
Brandenburg’s Cathedral Island is home to the worthwhile Cathedral of St Peter and Paul, which houses the Cathedral Archives as well as a worthwhile Dommusem.
Of the rich furnishings of the cathedral, the beautiful stained glass windows, the Romanesque crucifix and the Bohemian altar are particularly noteworthy.
With long walks and hikes in the charming Havelland you can give free rein to your soul and find peace and relaxation from the stressful everyday life. Another highlight in Brandenburg is the Havelfest. For more than 40 years, this folk festival with several stages on both sides of the Havel and the election of the Havel Queen, takes place.
For those who want to indulge in culinary delights, the Bismarck Terrassen is the place to go. This original restaurant features classic delicacies from the Havelland region on the menu, which really shouldn’t be missed.
Absolutely recommendable is also a trip by hire car to the capital Berlin, about 70 kilometres away, or to the nearby pretty district town Havelberg
Sights in Brandenburg
The Old Town Hall with its statue of Roland standing in front of it, more than five metres tall, should also not be missed on any sightseeing tour of Brandenburg. To the north of the town hall rises the parish church of St Gotthardt, the oldest building in Brandenburg.
A cultural and interesting afternoon is promised by the city’s museum in the imposing Frey House. Here, in addition to exhibits of the city’s history, is the Katte sword, used to execute Frederick the Great’s childhood friend.
