Hanover City Highlights
Hanover Old Town in the city centre
In addition to being one of Germany’s
top venues for international trade
fairs and conferences, Hannover
(pop. 525,000) recently played host
to the nations of the world at the
EXPO 2000 World Exposition.
In the city centre striking modern
architecture has been successfully
integrated with the lovely Old Town.
An other must see attraction are
the Great Gardens of Herrenhausen,
one of the best preserved baroque
garden layouts in Europe, with mazes
and a fountain over 70 metres high
(one of the highest in Europe).
