6 days in Hannover Itinerary

Hannover, northern Germany's major urban center, may be best known for hosting annual commercial trade fairs.

Historische Altstadt and Aegidienkirche will appeal to history buffs. Get out of town with these interesting Hannover side-trips: Hahnenklee-Bockswiese (Stabkirche & Liebesbank Trail), Autostadt (in Wolfsburg) and Lohmuehle (in Goslar). There's still lots to do: ponder the world of politics at The New Town Hall, take a stroll through Hameln Old Town, identify plant and animal life at Otterzentrum Hankensbuttel, and steep yourself in history at Altes Rathaus.
