Hannover

Why go

The closely grouped old-town landmarks give Hannover a clear visitor route: narrow lanes and timbered facades lead between its church, civic hall and Ballhof. The city is also Lower Saxony's capital and a major trade-fair center, but these older streets offer the most tangible contrast to that contemporary identity.

What to look for

• Half-timbered facades line parts of the old-town alleys.
• Marktkirche and the Old Town Hall form a civic landmark pair.
• Ballhof adds another historic stop nearby.

Useful to know

• Keep the old-town sights together as a short walk rather than spreading them across the wider city.
