1.9 miles from city centre
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.

I liked that Hannover city has limited traffic around the main railway station where only of buses, taxis and bicycles move quite slowly. The roads can be crossed easily, no rushing. Also, where traffic lights are for pedestrians, the green light is coming very soon after touching the button. Public transport is excellent - always in close proximity with multiple choices, moving exactly, except the buses which sometimes delay. The town is very clean.

I was there for an exhibition at Hannover Messe. Hannover has excellent public transport which allowed me to reach the Messe easily. The weather was not too my liking (coming from India, I found it too cold and discomforting) The suburbs are beautiful with lot of trees and spacious gardens all over

If Hannover turly is, as is often heard, the most boring city in Germany, it makes me want to explore more of what Germany has to offer. I mean, how nice must all the other cities be if they find Hannover boring, as it is not boring at all. Like many larger German cities Hannover was bombed and mostly destroyed in the war and has been rebuilt. If you want to see original pre-war Germany, then you can take an easy day-trip to Celle which has been voted as the most beautiful German small town. Also the famous Hameln is an easily doable day-trip.
Hannover was a nice surprise.

Hannover was a nice surprise. We stayed close to the ZOO and only 1.3 km from the railway station, which meant, we could walk to the city centre. Very good shopping opportunities and a very nice self-guided walking sight seeing tour around the city. Nice places to eat.
It was a very short business trip.

It was a very short business trip. It is a quiet, easily accessible city. They have excellent fairgrounds. I think the extremely impressive wooden exhibition area is a must-see. We were able to spare a few hours to visit the city and to take a short city tour by following the "Red Line". We had some great beer experiences that we couldn't get enough of.

I saw police horses walking around. It was very nice to see calm horses helping city in peace. Some very nice person in Hannover teached me that one of the reason why the police use horses in Hannover is that the place was famous with certain kind of horse breeding, moreover, they use horses to calm down the hooligans. Even the hooligans never hurt horses as they know the horses are not harmful to humans. How beautiful is it to see the humans and the animals benefit each other in peace! How beautiful Hannover is it to see!
