At first glance, Hanover (Hannover in German) seems easy to grasp. However, there are quite a few corners worth a second look: the old buildings from the time when Hanover was reigned by a king, the idyllic green areas where you can relax and enjoy nature and the culturally diverse districts which are interesting to explore.
The City
In Hanover, people meet "under the tail" of
Ernst-August statue's horse in front of the
Main Station. Another meeting point is the Kröpcke-clock, a few minutes straight ahead. There you are in the middle of Hanover's shopping district, with the usual range of department stores. Opposite, there is more to see on Georgstrasse, above all the Opera House. Further on you will find the memorial for the Jewish victims of National Socialism.
Just opposite, you will find Hanover's most expensive shopping boulevard where jewelers, perfumeries and expensive boutiques await potential customers. In the evening the GOP and the New Theater offer entertainment.
