Brandenburg's
tourist office
(Mon-Wed & Fri 9am-7pm, Thurs 9am-8pm, Sat 10am-2/4pm; tel & fax 0 33 81/22 37 43,
www.stadt-brandenburg.de
) is at Hauptstr. 51; as usual, it can arrange
private rooms
(less than DM60/a?¬30-DM99/a?¬49). Among the
pensions
are some with a central location, such as
Zum Birnbaum
, Mittelstr. 1 (tel 0 33 81/5 27 50; DM100-124/a?¬50-62), and
Engel
, Grosse Gartenstr. 37 (tel 0 33 81/20 03 93; DM100-124/a?¬50-62). There are only a handful of
hotels
within the city:
Gerono
, Magdeburger Str. 12 (tel 0 33 81/3 40 90; DM100-124/a?¬50-62);
City
, Grosse Gartenstr. 2 (tel 0 33 81/52 26 92; DM100-124/a?¬50-62);
Axxon
, Magdeburger Landstr. 288 (tel 0 33 81/32 10; DM125-149/a?¬63-74);
Am St Gotthard
, MA?hlentorstr. 56 (tel 0 33 81/5 29 00; DM150-199/a?¬75-99); and
Sorat
, AltstA¤dtischer Markt 1 (tel 0 33 81/59 70; DM250-299/a?¬125-149). The most convenient of the
campsites
by the lakes around the city is
Seecamp Malge
(tel 0 33 81/66 31 34) on the Breitlingsee, which also has bungalows for rent. Two more can be found on the nearby islands; yet another, the
Margaretenhof
(tel 0 33 81/40 32 27), is on the peninsula jutting into the Plauensee.
With the exception of
Gerona
, the hotels listed above all have recommendable
restaurants
. Another good place to eat is the
Ratskeller
in the AltstA¤dtisches Rathaus. The
StadtcafA©
, Hauptstr. 26-28, is typical of the vogue for trendy western-style
cafA©s
in the ex-GDR, but isn't bad for all that.
Cruises
(DM10/a?¬5) for a two-hour round trip, are run by
Bollmann Flotte
(tel 0 33 81/22 39 59), and depart from Salzhofufer on the Altstadt side of the river. Other useful information
