Hannover Travel Forum

Hi, may I know what would be the tourists’ attractions that I should visit in Hannover? I will be flying and staying over there this summer for 1 week only.

Thank you.

Have a look at the VT Hannover pages for ideas and information as well as the official tourist info site (in English) on:

Thank you very much for the link. I appreciate your prompt reply. I am looking forward to seeing those pictures in real life.

Greetings from the UK.

Ooh sorry I just figured out that you are also in the UK.
So greetings from where I am now then.

Cheers.

Greeting from the Midlands!

A few suggestions:

The Herrenhäuser Gärten (former palace gardens) are really impressive; there is a botanical garden on the opposite side of the street, also quite interesting.
Don`t miss the colourful Grottoe of Niki de St. Phalle in the Herrenhausen Gardens (near the entrance).

Hannover has one of the best Zoos in Germany - you should not miss it. You can even make a boat ride along the african animal enclosures.

The Old Town Hall is quite impressive, too, also the University Building.

It does not have a real "Old Town" though, as it was destroyed in WW 2.

Thanks Michael for the suggestions. You made me more excited to see those places. I will definitely fellow your suggestions. I will be attending a big conference there and most probably many of those places mentioned would be in their agenda in the social event program, in case they don't include any of those I will make sure to see them on my own.

Cheers and greetings. Have a nice weekend ahead.

Hi

to be honest, 1 week for Hannover is quite a lot of time - it is not a bad city, but there is not so much to see compared to Berlin, Munich or other German cities (apart from the locations I pointed out).

Have a nice visit anyway!

I have been last summer to Berlin, Illmenau, Wiemar and Leipzig. I spent excellent time there.
Thanks anyway for pointing that out.

Hi,
if you have the time you might consider a daytrip to a city like Celle, Goslar, Hildesheim. Those cities are quite interesting and not to far away by rail or car.
Nice weekend, Michael
