Herrenhausen Royal Gardens
The Royal Gardens of Herrenhausen are among Europe's most celebrated Baroque garden complexes, featuring the iconic Grand Garden with its towering fountain. The gardens were the summer retreat of the House of Hanover, and every path holds centuries of dynastic history.
Old Town & Market Church
Hannover's restored Old Town is one of Germany's finest examples of post-war urban reconstruction, centred on the soaring Gothic spires of the Marktkirche. The surrounding lanes of timber-framed houses and the Old Town Hall create a remarkably atmospheric setting for a scavenger hunt.
Maschsee Lake
The Maschsee is an artificial lake built in the 1930s that has become Hannover's most beloved recreational space, with over six kilometres of lakeside paths. A walk around the Maschsee combines stunning waterside scenery with AI quiz questions about the lake's fascinating history.
