Grab your suitcase, walk out of Hecklingen Airport (CSO-Magdeburg - Cochstedt), and pick up your rental car. Which one you slide into depends on what your travel itinerary looks like. If you’ll be spending most of your time driving in downtown Magdeburg, around 22 miles from the terminal, you’ll want something zippy. A compact car with nimble handling will suit those bustling city streets. But with almost endless things to see, like the beautiful snowfields of the surrounding area, you may want to add some pit stops. A bigger vehicle, like a full-size car or an SUV, will make lengthier road trips a pleasure.
