🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Find train tickets →Hannover Hauptbahnhof (city centre) → Hotel in Herrenhausen
💡 No direct tram from airport. This is a local option if you're already in the city. Tram 9 runs along Herrenhäuser Straße—get off at 'Herrenhäuser Gärten' stop. Buy a single day pass for €5.40 and ride all trams/buses until midnight.
Hannover Airport (HAJ) train station → Mercure Hotel am Entenfang
💡 Buy a 24-hour ticket for 6.40 EUR if you plan to take a return trip or use local transit later. The S5 is faster than the bus and drops you at Hauptbahnhof, then tram 9 runs directly to Entenfang stop (2 min walk to hotel).
Hannover Airport (HAJ) bus stop → Mercure Hotel am Entenfang
💡 This is the more scenic but less frequent option. Bus 400 stops at Entenfang directly on some runs—check timetable for 'Entenfang' stop. Otherwise, alight at 'Empelde' and walk 10 mins through parkland to the hotel.
Hannover Hauptbahnhof (central station) → Mercure Hotel am Entenfang
💡 Best option if you're already in the city centre. Buy a 'Kurzstrecke' short-trip ticket (1.70 EUR) if you're only going one or two stops from Hauptbahnhof, but for Entenfang you need a full single. Avoid rush hour (7-9am, 4-6pm) as trams get packed.
Hannover Airport (HAJ) → Hotel in Herrenhausen
💡 Bus 400 departs from outside Terminal C, not the main station. It ends at 'Kröpcke'—a busy junction. From there, take Tram 4 north. Ideal if you want to avoid the main train station crowd.
Hannover Airport (HAJ) → Hotel in Herrenhausen
💡 Pre-book with Taxi Hannover (0511 33880) for a fixed rate. Otherwise, meters add €5-10 in traffic. Ask for a receipt if claiming expenses.
Hannover Airport (HAJ) → Mercure Hotel am Entenfang, Badenstedter Str. 17
💡 Book through a local taxi app like mytaxi or Uber to avoid airport surcharges. For a fixed price, ask the airport taxi desk for a pre-paid fare.
Hannover Airport (HAJ) → Hotel in Herrenhausen
💡 Buy a single ticket from the DB machine outside the airport exit. S5 runs to Hannover Hauptbahnhof, then switch to Tram 4 heading to Garbsen. Get off at 'Herrenhäuser Gärten' stop—3-min walk to hotels near the gardens.
Hannover Hauptbahnhof → Novotel Hannover (Königsworther Platz stop)
💡 Get a day ticket for €6.20—covers unlimited rides on trams and buses, and you can hop on line 10 or 17 as well if your next stop is a different part of town.
Hannover Hauptbahnhof → Novotel Hannover (Königsworther Platz stop)
💡 This bus runs along Lister Meile, so it's good if you want to grab a bite or a coffee before heading to the hotel—the stop's right outside REWE supermarket.
Hannover Airport (HAJ) → Novotel Hannover
💡 Use the 'Hannover Taxi' app or book a fixed-price 'Airport Transfer' online to avoid surge charges during events like CeBIT.
Hannover Airport → Hotel Römerkrug (Lüneburger Str. 25, 30161 Hannover)
