A well-to-do suburb north of the city. It’s a swell place to relax with a morning stroll, especially along Bödekerstrasse; it’s a boulevard lined with historic facades and well-tended gardens. There are plenty of cute designer boutiques along Vossstrasse and Jakobistrasse. The southern part runs along the Eilenriede, Hannover’s city forest.

The capital and largest city of the state of Lower Saxony in Germany, Hannover went from ruling Great Britain to nearly being destroyed in the Second World War. Today, the city has been rebuilt retaining an abundance of its old-world charm and royal history. Its Old Town area, or ‘Altstadt’, is delightful to walk through, characterised by cobbled streets, half-timbered houses and ubiquitous red roofs. A symbol of the city, the New Town Hall is a magnificent structure showcasing eclectic architecture and crowned by an ornate dome. For panoramic views, you can ride to the top of the dome in a tilted lift, the only one of its kind in Europe.
Hannover is home to Maschsee, an expansive artificial lake offering water sports and opportunities for swimming, boating and cycling. If you’re after a more tranquil experience, you can simply stroll around the park or stop for a bite at one of the many surrounding cafes and bars. Also worth a visit are the Herrenhausen Gardens – sprawling baroque gardens with fountains, manicured lawns and an artsy grotto. During summer, the gardens come alive with plenty of festivals and fireworks.
When travelling with little ones, Hannover Adventure Zoo will take you around the world with themed zones showcasing hundreds of species in their natural habitat – from Africa to Australia. For a dose of culture, you can take in a sizeable collection of modern art at the Sprengel Museum or journey into the city’s past at Hannover History Museum.

1. A good centre for travelling to many old towns by train but train services are unreliable. Not what you expect! 2. Must see places are the Herrenhasen gardens and town hall park on a fine evening. 3. Trams work well and easy. Buses more complicated. 4. Enormous number and range of eating places.
Well, i have a hard time to explain to the service people...

Well, i have a hard time to explain to the service people in the restaurant that my food was first of all wrong order...and they did not understand that cous cous is gluten..i orded glutenfree. Second of it..the Sallad was old and brown. Third of it .they sold beer to already very drunk people, a group of 3 very loud young men. It happen to be that the walls in this Hotel was very thin so i overhead all noices, party and still drinking 1 floor under us. I could not sleep, so i moved out to my car and my half of the night in there. Very unpleasant. The beds were really hard as well in the room. The best was breakfast service and the nice staff there.

I wouldn't recommend anyone making the trip to visit Hannover, I was in a nearby village for a wedding. Other places in Germany, especially Bavarian, are gorgeous and a much better destination. Hannover is similar to Paris with a large drug user population, they mostly keep to themselves but you may have a weird encounter or two while visiting.
Nice green city.

Nice green city. Small and comfortable to move around. It has the typical city centre of a German city and several parks for walking and having rest. I just spent one day since I went for a music concert, but the public transport I took was excellent.

I didn't expect much from the city, but it turned out to be amazing! It is clean, quiet, comfortable and beautiful. I liked the red line on the pedestrian roads that connects all the landmarks and guides you while walking - it's a perfect option for such lazy tourists like me who don't like to prepare a must-see list in advance 😁 Food - for meat lovers, I would recommend the Afgan restaurant "Masa". You won't regret 👌 The shopping area is located right near the train station - there are quite many shops.

Hannover is a typical German city with a pleasant city center where shops remain open until the evening. There are plenty of restaurants to choose from. The main draw seems to be the Hannover Messe events. If you're seeking peace and quiet, Hannover might fit the bill, but some may find it a bit boring.
