Hanover
Hanover – more metropolitan than you might expect
If you take a closer look, you will discover a city full of qualities: green and urban, quiet and lively. Centrally located and well connected, Hanover, the capital of Lower Saxony, combines a high quality of life with the charm of a metropolis.
As a major transport hub, Hanover has excellent connections: Hamburg and Berlin can be reached quickly by ICE train, there are motorways in every direction, and the international airport allows travel to destinations all over the world. This is why Hanover is now considered an established business and trade fair location with international appeal. Hanover's green spaces and nature reserves offer you the perfect opportunity to enjoy the fresh air – whether on a walk through the Eilenriede forest, around Lake Maschsee or on a bike ride along the River Leine.
The blend of history and modernity
Urban life in balance
With around 550,000 inhabitants, Hanover is the perfect place for anyone looking for a lively atmosphere and enough space to breathe. Tradition and an urban environment come together here in 13 districts with a total of 51 neighbourhoods: cultural diversity, an innovative economy and a lively city life characterise the capital of Lower Saxony. For example, you can experience modern art at the Sprengel Museum, stroll through the Herrenhausen Gardens or be inspired by the gastronomic offerings ranging from international cuisine to regional specialities. And if you need a break in between, you will find a place to relax and recharge your batteries in the Eilenriede or at the Maschsee.
