How to get there
Hannover Airport – Wonderful journeys start here
Hannover Airport is the one of the leading airports in Northern Germa-
ny with more than 5 million passengers per year. The air traffic hubs
Frankfurt/Main, Munich, London and Amsterdam as well as the cities of
Paris, Zurich, Warsaw and Copenhagen are only a few examples for the
excellent direct connections within Europe. Further highlights are many
connections to leisure travel destination around the Mediterranean Sea
e.g. in Turkey, Italy and Spain as well as several direct connections
within the CIS states. Thanks to its central location Hannover Airport
is the ideal starting point for a journey through Northern Germany. The
airport has a direct connection to the motorways A7 (Hamburg-Kassel)
and A2 (Berlin-Dortmund) as well as good railway relations via Hanno-
ver main station (approx. 17 minutes) to the high speed railway network
of Deutsche Bahn. For more information go to www.hannover-airport.de.
By car:
Hannover lies on a major German motorway intersection. The A2 mo-
torway links Hannover to North Rhine-Westphalia and Berlin. The A7
motorway opens up the north-south axis for all people travelling from
the direction of Hamburg or Munich.
Hannover’s city centre is a clean air zone. You can only drive your car
within the inner city ring if your vehicle has a clean air sticker on the
windscreen. Coaches do not need a clean air sticker.
Hannover – all roads lead to Hannover
Whether you come by road, by ICE high-speed train or by air – Hanno-
ver is one of the most important hubs of transportation in Germany and
the whole of Europe - the place where the whole world meets.
Hannover’s outstanding transportation infrastructure makes it both a
popular destination in itself, and also a starting point for many attrac-
tive excursions into the surrounding region: to the Lüneburg Heath,
for example, or the historic towns and cities of Lower Saxony such as
Hildesheim, Hamelin or Celle.
Thanks to Hannover’s central location, the great metropolises of Berlin
and Hamburg can also be reached in a very short time.
By rail:
Hannover is the most important railway hub in Germany: You reach
Hannover with fast InterCityExpress train connections from Hamburg in
just over an hour, the journey from Berlin to Hannover takes about 1.5
hours. From the Ruhr area, you are in Hannover within 2.5 hours. Even
from Munich you reach Hanover in just 4.5 hours. In addition, many
international long distance lines run via Hannover, so the city is also
easy to reach from abroad. Hannover is also within easy reach from
all destinations in Lower Saxony in a short time by public metropolitan
and suburban commuter railway trains. The Hannover Region is fully
developed by new light rail traffic lines which run far beyond the city
limits.

Places of interest in the city
A Mecca for art lovers
Distinguished and diverse, Hannover’s landscape of museums and
art galleries enjoys an outstanding reputation. The Sprengel Museum
Hannover is among the most important addresses in the world for the
art of the 20th and the 21st centuries; the kestnergesellschaft, the
Kunstverein (Arts Association) and the Ahlers Pro Arte/Kestner Pro Arte
Foundation are further institutions for contemporary art with reputa-
tions extending well beyond the region.
Visitors to the Hannover State Museum (Landesmuseum) will find De-
partments of Prehistory, Natural History and Ethnology, the State Art
Gallery and an aquarium. The Museum August Kestner presents the
ancient world and ancient Egypt, while the history of the state and the
city is recounted in the Museum of History. The Wilhelm Busch – Ger-
man Museum of Caricature and Drawings houses caricature, satirical
art and a unique Wilhelm-Busch collection. For detailed information on
Hannoverian museums see page 46/47. There are also many street art
projects to be seen in Hannover.
Shopping paradise
Did you know that Hannover’s Georgstrasse and the adjacent Bahn-
hofstrasse are among Germany’s most popular shopping streets? But
they are not all that Hannover has to offer: the diversity of the Niki de
Saint Phalle Promenade, the elegant boutiques of the Ernst-August-
Galerie or the Galerie Luise and the charming Old Town quarter offer
everything it takes to turn a mere shopping expedition into an experi-
ence of infinite variety.
Kissed by the muse
The city’s programme of cultural events is more diverse and more
exciting than ever, offering a comprehensive spectrum of everything
from light entertainment to stage productions of the highest calibre.
The State Opera and the State Theatre both occupy leading positions
in international rankings, and celebrated conductors and orchestras of
international renown can always rely on enthusiastic receptions from
their devotees in Hannover.
For many years now, the GOP Variety-Theatre has offered entertain-
ment of the highest calibre. Top international artists meld acrobatic
performances on the highest level, baffling conjuring and offbeat com-
edy into a modern show experience that is constantly new.
Festival time!
Hannover draws visitors with a big programme of attractive events
throughout the year. The highlights include the open air performances
in the Royal Gardens of Herrenhausen: the International Firework Com-
petition, concerts and open air musicals attracts tens of thousands
of visitors. People come from all corners of the globe to join in the
world’s biggest Schützenfest (Marksmen’s Funfair) and the Maschsee
Lake Festival. And as the year comes to a close, the colourful stalls
of the festive Christmas Market create an atmosphere of seasonal
warmth and joy within the picturesque surroundings of the historic
Old Town. For an event overview see page 47.
Going out in 17th century fashion – the Royal Gardens of Herrenhausen
Baroque opulence and elegant fountains in the Great Garden, romantic
English landscape gardens in the Georgengarten, and botanical treasu-
res in the Berggarten with its glasshouses and orchid collections: the
former summer residence of the Royal House of Hannover still brings
alive the grandeur of aristocratic life throughout the year. The start of
the 2013 summer season heralds the opening of the new Herrenhausen
Palace Museum: “Palaces and gardens in Herrenhausen – from barock
to the modern day” is the name of the big show that invites visitors to
entertainingly explore the many facets of the wide-ranging palace and
garden world in Herrenhausen.
The city view
In the magnificent New Town Hall, surrounded by the idyllic Masch-
park, four models of the city show the diverse history of Hannover. Tra-
velling up to the 97-metre-high Town Hall dome in the unique curving
lift is an experience in itself: from the top, you can see as far as the
Deister Hills. And every visitor who is not already convinced of the fact
can clearly see from here that Hannover is Germany’s greenest city!
Around Maschsee Lake
A maritime paradise right in the city centre! The Maschsee Lake offers
the people of Hannover a recreational area in the heart of the city, both
on the water and all around it: for yachting, canoeing and pedal-boating,
for joggers, skaters and strollers. On the banks of the lake you will find
the celebrated Sprengel Museum Hannover.
In the heart of the Old Town
Here you can breathe the city‘s history: the historic timber-framed
buildings of the Old Town are among the very special sights of the city
centre. Stroll through picturesque narrow streets and discover exclu-
sive boutiques and inviting cafés and restaurants.
A few yards further on you can relax in secluded spots on the banks
of the River Leine. On Saturdays, Germany’s oldest flea market takes
place here – an Eldorado for lovers of art and curiosities, set against
a historic backdrop.

Places of interest in the region
Horse riding in the northeast
Pony trekking, coach rides, romantically situated manor houses, and
unspoilt countryside on all sides: the north-eastern part of the Han-
nover Region has ideal conditions for riders and horses thanks to its
extensive sandy soils. Rides take you through nature protection areas,
past halftimbered farmhouses, across a varied landscape, and along-
side rivers and lakes. Depending on the time of year, riders can enjoy
the sight of heather in full bloom, fields of asparagus, peat bogs, fo-
rests and rare birds.
Horse riding in the Hannover Region
Sail away – Lake Steinhude
Lake Steinhude (Steinhuder Meer) is a big lake in the north-west of the
Hannover Region. It is a paradise for water sports and a very popular
outdoor recreation area offering swimming, sailing, surfing and kite-
surfing. Covering 32 square kilometres, this is the largest lake in nor-
thwest Germany and also has a great deal to offer people interested
in less active sports, or families with small children who can venture
onto the lake in the many rowing boats, pedalos and electric boats for
hire. The many facets of the “Steinhuder Meer Natural Park“ can also
be explored by cyclists and walkers. In addition to the large expanse of
water, the surrounding countryside is an extremely attractive mosaic of
dunes, peat bogs, meadows and woods. Many attractive holiday homes
provide the perfect place to stay for a holiday in harmony with nature.
Steinhude Festive Weekend
Cycle tours through the Deister Hills
Cycling in the countryside is in fashion. One of the most popular cy-
cling destinations in the area is the Deister, whose wooded ridges
and surrounding farmland boast a network of cycle paths attracting
professional and amateur cyclists alike.
Attractive buildings and parks along the way add to the pleasure: man-
or houses, churches and half-timbered buildings take you back to the
Middle Ages. And impressive gardens, idyllic picnic places and country
inns invite you to stop and rest a while.
Marienburg Castle takes you into the world of the Guelphs
Marienburg Castle lies around 20 km south of Hannover at the eastern
end of a series of wooded ridges extending from the Deister. The for-
mer summer residence of the Guelphs – originally a present from King
George V of Hannover to his wife, Queen Mary – is still owned by the
family today. Fully furnished, its many loving details can be enjoyed
during a professional guided tour.

The fascinating world of the GOP Variety-TheatreWhere art and amazement are amalgamated
Marvel at the best artistes in the world! Laugh with the lovable comedi-
ans, eccentric characters and the cheeky but charming presenters in the
only variety theatre in Germany still performing at the original location
of its 1920 – 1950 predecessors. This is the tradition on which the new

hearts of local inhabitants within a very short time, and has carved out a
niche as a theatrical institution in the cultural landscape of Niedersach-
sen and Germany for 20 years now. GOP Hannover succeeds in breaking
down the barriers between avant-garde and tradition to create a new
style of variety theatre. The vibrant new variety scene is significantly
influenced by the trends set by the GOP at the Georgspalast. The GOP
variety theatre Hannover is the headquarters of the GOP Entertainment
Group – Europe’s most successful variety business. This is the umbrella
organisation currently running the GOP theatres in Hannover, Essen, Bad
Oeynhausen, Münster and Munich. Bring along your friends and guests

Marksmen‘s Funfair
For ten days, the Schützenplatz covering more than ten hectares at
the edge of Hannover’s city centre is turned into a gigantic fun fair:
The rustic hustle and bustle and the uninhibited high spirits dominate
the festival into the early hours. The traditional marksmen and the
millions of visitors have been cultivating their ancient ceremonies for
almost 500 years. The highlight of the festival is the Grand Parade
of the Marksmen which has literally got the people of Hannover out
onto the streets since the beginning of the 17th century. The parade
starts every year at 10 o’clock in the morning when the order “Quick
March!“ gets the procession with around 12.000 members of the
marksmen’s clubs, traditional costume and carnival societies on the
move. Accompanied by over 100 national and international bands, the
colourful parade proceeds along the four kilometre long route through
the city centre and the historic Old Town. It takes around three hours
until the tail end of the procession passes the up to 200.000 jubilant
spectators.In top hat and tails, the four Bruchmeister – the Schützen-
fest stewards who also boast a very long tradition – demonstrate their
social responsibility.

Maschsee Lake Festival
Concerts, variety acts, and culinary specialities: for over 25 years now,
the Maschseefest has transformed the large lake in the town cen-
tre into a thrilling waterside festival. With around two million visitors,
the Maschseefest is now one of the largest Open-Air-Parties in north
Germany. The 19 day long programme all along the water front has
something for everyone of all ages and tastes: a wide range of food
of all kinds, free concerts, sporting action on the lake, and dance eve-
nings under the stars – creating that wonderful holiday feeling in the
middle of the state capital of Niedersachsen. The show is rounded off
by an exciting programme of variety and comedy acts. There is also a
great deal on offer for small children: from the bouncy castle to face
painting, the kid’s meadow boasts a wide range of attractions.
The star of the festival is the Maschsee itself: visitors love to discover
its many different facets such as a cruise on the pleasure steamers,
relaxing cocktail soirées with a view across the lake, or just strolling
along the palm-fringed lakeside promenade. The Mediterranean flair
all around the Maschsee makes chilling out easy – and makes it dif-
ficult to believe that this mega al fresco party is taking place in north
Germany!

king Louis XIV, she ordered the landscaping of this approx. 180 acre

The New Town Hall
The New Town Hall was built at the beginning of the 20th century in
the opulent style of the Wilhelmenian époque. The dome with its gol-
den top rises an impressive 97.73 metres above the park. A curving
lift (you have to travel in it to believe it!) whisks you up at a crazy angle
to the lofty viewing platform from where you have a splendid view over
the whole of Hannover. Four large models of the city in the main hall
show how the face of Hannover has changed over the centuries: 1689,
1939, ruins in 1945, and today.

Royal Gardens of Herrenhausen for groups
Information & Bookings: +49 511 12345-333
Starting in 2013: The new Herrenhausen Palace
Discover the art of gardening in all its perfection, and headline history
at one fascinating location: the new Herrenhausen Palace Museum – an
amenity of the state capital Hannover, sponsored by the state of Nie-
dersachsen – opens at the start of the 2013 summer season: “Palaces
and gardens in Herrenhausen – from barock to the modern day” is the
name of the big exhibition that invites visitors to entertainingly explore
the many facets of the wide-ranging palace and garden world in Her-
renhausen.
Herrenhausen is undoubtedly one of those very special places where
exceptional things happen: the universal scholar and polymath Gottfried
Wilhelm Leibniz (1646 – 1716) developed many of his world-changing
ideas here in dialogue with Kurfürstin Sophie (1630 – 1714) and her
daughter Sophie Charlotte (1670 – 1701). The spectrum of concepts
developed by the European-wide well connected universal scholar ran-
ged from the state of the art of his own day and age, to highly advanced
ideas that were well ahead of their time.
The state capital Hannover and the Volkswagen Foundation decided in
2009 that the time had come to rebuild the summer palace of the Guel-
ph royal family which was destroyed during the second world war. With
the resurrection of the Herrenhausen Palace – which will be used as a
scientific congress centre and museum – the Royal Gardens of Herren-
hausen become reunited with their architectural centrepiece.
Opening
The Herrenhausen Palace Museum opens at the start of the 2013 sum-
mer season.
Opening times
The Great Garden and the Berggarten botanical gardens open throug-
hout the year at 09.00. They close at different times depending on the
season. The museum opens daily in the summer season from 11.00 to
18.00. In the winter season (1 November to 31 March) the museum is
open from Thursday to Sunday from 11.00 to 16.00.
