A guided walking tour through Magdeburg's cathedral district, stopping at selected restaurants and food shops to sample regional dishes alongside the city's cultural and architectural highlights.
Lukullus-Tours runs guided culinary walking tours through Magdeburg's cathedral district, combining tastings at selected restaurants and food shops with commentary on the city's history and architecture, including Magdeburg Cathedral and the surrounding old town streets. The format suits visitors who want an efficient way to sample several of the city's dining spots in one outing rather than choosing a single restaurant, and the walking route doubles as an orientation tour for those new to Magdeburg. Tastings typically include a mix of regional German dishes and modern options reflecting Magdeburg's broader, more international dining scene compared to smaller Saxony-Anhalt towns.
