Things to do in Hanover

Hanover is Lower Saxony's fair city: the Herrenhausen gardens, the Maschsee, the Eilenriede forest. Green, orderly, and better than its reputation.

Photos for Hanover are still on their way. Every listing below is real.

Gardens and water

Herrenhausen Gardens

Small fee

The baroque Grosser Garten: the fountains, the grotto (Niki de Saint Phalle), the fireworks in summer. The essential.

Maschsee

Free

The lake: the promenade, the sailing, the Maschseefest in summer. The city's front yard.

Green

Eilenriede

Free

The city forest: 640 hectares, the trails, the deer. Europe's largest urban forest.

The Red Thread

Free

The 4.2 km painted line: 36 sights, the self-guided walk. The clever city tour.
