Situated on the River Leine, Hanover is the largest city in the German state of Lower Saxony. This historic city is now an important commercial centre and home to a large university, the Leibniz University Hanover.
Aside from industry, Hanover is known for being a hub for festivals in Germany. The city is always celebrating something, but two of the biggest events are the hugely popular Oktoberfest Hanover and the Hanover Schutzenfest, a target shooting competition.
Even if you skip the revelry at these festivals, Hanover offers a rich cultural experience in its world-class museums, theatres, and galleries. One of Hanover's cultural centrepieces is the Hanover Opera House. Built in 1852, this impressive building hosts opera performances during opera season, from September to June.
Like most of Germany, Hanover is extremely accessible thanks to robust transport options. Hanover Airport is served by many major airlines, while the train station has many connections from various destinations across the country. Plus, intercity coach service on BlaBlaCar Bus, Sindbad, FlixBus, and more connects Hanover to other German cities, including Dresden, Cologne, Hamburg, and more.

Your first stop should be Schlossplatz. This palace square is located right at the city centre, in the shadow of the Baroque New Palace and the 10th-Century Old Palace. The square is a lively area, with events hosted year-round, most notably Stuttgart's Christmas market; check out our itinerary of 10 famous Christmas markets in Germany for more.

The huge public market has over 33 stalls that offer all kinds of delicious goodies.
