With some awesome road trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to soak up all that Brandenburg an der Havel, 30 miles away, has to offer. Plauer See ought to be at the top of your to-do list here. Brandenburger Cathedral and Brandenburger Theater are excellent attractions too. Don’t skip Lutherstadt Wittenberg either! Just 35 miles away, Stadtkirche St Marien, Wittenberg Luther House and St. Mary’s Church are non-negotiable stops here.
