Get ready to go! First the tour leads along the "Red Thread", which reaches 4.2 km across the city and runs along the most important sights. After a short while you'll reach the old city center with its narrow lanes and ancient frameworks. Besides great shopping opportunities you'll find many cafes and the oldest townhouse from 1566, as well as the Kreuzkirche, Hanover's oldest church.
Hanover has so much more to offer! A next stop on your tour through Hanover is the Maschsee, an ideal destination for sports enthusiasts and those who are looking for recreation.
