Whether it's the Romanesque Road, the Blue Ribbon, Garden Dreams, UNESCO World Heritage Sites or, more recently, Sky Trails (the "Sky Disc" found near Nebra) - tourism in Saxony-Anhalt focuses on worthwhile destinations and exciting themes.

Saxony-Anhalt is the home of Martin Luther and the land of magnificent half-timbered towns, Romanesque castles, churches, palaces and monasteries, which bear witness to the region's important role in the Middle Ages. In addition, there are charming small, densely built-up villages with typical half-timbered architecture and village churches, which are embedded in a natural, diverse landscape that ranges from lowlands to heathland and low mountain ranges to wine-growing areas.

Saxony-Anhalt is the federal state with the highest density of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Germany: the Bauhaus in Dessau, the Luther towns of Wittenberg and Eisleben, the palace park in Wörlitz and the old town of Quedlinburg.
