Much to discover
Despite its 500,000 inhabitants, the capital of Lower Saxony is one of the greenest cities in Germany. Almost half of the city area consists of green areas such as the Eilenriede, the zoo and various parks such as the city park. At the same time, Hannover has a rich cultural offer with various museums and events. For example, the Sprengelmuseum presents a globally significant collection of 20th-century art and contemporary art. The Staatsoper, the Schauspielhaus, the Theater am Aegi and many more invite to performances. Hanover is known among other things for the biggest shooting festival in the world. But also the Maschseefest, the international fireworks competition and the small festival in the large garden enjoy great popularity. For those who prefer a little quieter, visit the Hanover Adventure Zoo, stroll through the Herrenhäuser Gardens or do water sports on the Maschsee or the Ihme. The surrounding countryside is also ideal for excursions. Destinations such as the Steinhuder Meer, the Deisters mountain range and the Marienburg Castle can be reached quickly from Hannover.
And if you live here, you will discover many other exciting and unexpected sides of this livable city.
