Experience the best of Hannover

Hannover is the capital of Lower Saxony, a green city of Baroque gardens, lakes and a red line through the centre that leads walkers to its sights.

Hannover was heavily rebuilt after the Second World War, but its Baroque past survives in the Herrenhausen Gardens, laid out in the seventeenth century for the electors of Hanover, who later became kings of Great Britain. The New Town Hall, a Wilhelmine building with a domed tower, has a curved lift that carries visitors up for a view. A red line painted along the pavements, the Red Thread, links thirty-six sights on a walk of about four kilometres.

The Maschsee, a lake built in the 1930s, has rowing and cafés on its shores, and the Eilenriede city forest lies inside the city. The Sprengel Museum holds modern art. Hannover is a trade-fair city, and it hosted Expo 2000. Hameln of the Pied Piper, the half-timbered town of Celle and the old town of Hildesheim are within reach, with the Harz mountains beyond.

Lüttje Lage, a beer and a schnapps drunk together from two glasses held in one hand, is a Hannover custom, and regional dishes include Bohnen, Birnen und Speck, a stew of beans, pears and bacon. Summers are mild and the gardens are at their best from May to September.
