Destination Overview
Located on the bank of the River Leine, Hanover is a small yet
humble city and has become one of Germany's wealthier cities, best
known for hosting the annual commercial expositions, such as the
Hanover Fair as well as Oktoberfest Hanover, the second largest
Oktoberfest in the world.Although a substantial amount of the city was destroyed by
Allied bombers during World War II, Hanover has retained its sense
of history and charm, evident in its medieval attractions and
distinctive timbered buildings. Complete with world-class shopping
centres, wonderful museums and churches, and a love of all things
beer related, Hanover has plenty to offer the intrepid
traveller.An integrated transport system means that visitors to the city
can experience all Hanover has to offer and the 'Red Thread', a
3-mile (4km) red line painted onto the road tracing the city's most
famous attractions means that tourists can explore this exciting
destination at their own leisure.
