    Hospitality with a heart Gourmets can make a culinary trip around the world without ever leav-ing Hannover. Specialities from all over the globe, cheerful cafs and bistros, authentic pubs and inns, smart bars and restaurants the amazing choice guarantees something to suit every taste and every budget. International chefs invite you to sample creative cuisine ranging from distinctive Afghan flavours to delicious Vietnamese specialities.

    Regional dishes served with a flourishTraditional dishes from Lower Saxony appeal in particular to fans of substantial plain fare, such as curly kale with a special type of pork sausage, Calenberger Pfannenschlag (minced meat with groats) or eels from Lake Steinhude. But there is plenty to please more delicate pal-ates too, such as asparagus from the famous growing regions of Burg-dorf and Nienburg. A famous dessert called Welfenspeise is a sweet reminder of the Kingdom of Hanover.

Every evening, creative minds put on a range of fantastic music events, either live or with a DJ at the desk. From small select clubs to huge dance halls, the city has something for everyone.
