Our Hanover city breaks are made easy with many lavish hotels and accommodation options available. The city's cultural side boasts various museums, theatres and art galleries. Tourism in Hanover has increased over the years thanks to bountiful public parks, the beautiful Royal Gardens of Herrenhausen (a jewel of Baroque garden architecture), Lake Maschsee and the tranquil River Leine which all show off the city's green side. From the lively city centre, with its extensive pedestrian zone and elegant arcades, to the quaint narrow streets and half-timbered houses in the charming Old Town, Hanover is a dynamic city of many dimensions.
A Hanover city break wouldn't be complete without attending the annual Hanover Schützenfest festival.
