Hannover - City of Events

It's always the right season for Hannover: the capital of Niedersachsen offers you fascinating highlights at any time of the year. In summer, the Royal Gardens, the city's glorious jewel, become a fantastic stage for fireworks displays, theatre, cabaret and concerts. A visit here is at the same time a trip following the traces of the Guelphs in Hannover. The zoo with its habitats appropriate to the species of animals is Europe's adventure zoo No 1.

The Maschsee, a lake in the city centre, offers relaxation and a multitude of leisure activities. The cultural offers at the various museums, theatres and the opera also cover a broad spectrum. Events such as the International Fireworks Competition, the Herrenhausen Festival Weeks, the Maschsee Lake Festival or the largest Schützenfest (riflemen's fair) in the world draw masses of visitors to Hannover every year.
