Thomas Cook City Spot Guide Hanover
Ref: TCCS029
"Cityspots Hanover" takes you straight to the heart of a cosmopolitan German city with international trade fairs on its mind, art in its soul and clean air in its lungs, thanks to numerous parks, gardens and its own city forest. Lower Saxony's capital city and one of the 'wonderful nine cities', it has a great arts scene, a reputation for being a 'green metropolis' and is slowly but surely creeping up on the city-break barometer. Hanover highlights include: Its Old Town with its boutiques, jewellers, antique dealers and The Red Thread, marked on its narrow paved streets, leading to historical buildings; street art, characteristic of the city since the early 1970s - Niki de Saint Phalle's Nanas are a symbol of the city; Sprengel Museum, whose 20th century art treasures include Picasso; festivals and festivities, when the locals come out of their shells, including Maschsee Lake Festival every August, Marksmen's Fair and Old Town Street Festival; the baroque gardens of Herrenhausen; beer gardens and street cafes in summer; In winter cosy pubs and the bars around the station and Raschplatz in Winter; Market Hall, the 'belly of Hanover'; Eilenriede, the city forest; Lake Maschsee (aka the 'blue eye' of Hanover), an artificial lake popular with watersports enthusiasts; nearby the town Hamlin, of Pied Piper fame.
