Im Tourismusbüro gibt es eine Broschüre über die Sehenswürdigkeiten der Stadt.
At the tourist information office, there is a brochure about the city's sights.
'Broschüre' (brochure) is a loanword from French. This explains the spelling, which is unusual for German words, and the ending '-üre'.

magazine / journal
'die Zeitschrift' and 'die Broschüre' are both booklets with several pages. They can be confused because they may look similar. A 'Zeitschrift' is published regularly and contains various articles, reports, or pictures. A 'Broschüre' is usually a small informational booklet on a specific topic, often from a company, a school, a public authority, or at an event. If new issues appear regularly, you say 'Zeitschrift'. If it is just about brief information or advertising, 'Broschüre' fits better.
