Chronicles of Hannover
Hannover, the capital of the state of Lower Saxony, has a rich history dating back to the 13th century. The city's strategic location on the River Leine made it a significant trading hub during the Middle Ages. In the 18th century, Hannover became a royal residence for the British royal family, and its architectural heritage reflects this period, with many grand buildings and gardens still intact today. The city's cultural identity is now defined by its vibrant arts scene, with numerous museums, galleries, and festivals throughout the year. The iconic Herrenhausen Gardens, a former royal hunting ground, are a testament to the city's enduring commitment to horticulture and green spaces.
Best Time to Visit
Full Hannover guide →Best months
June and September are ideal months to visit Hannover, with pleasant temperatures (18-25°C) and manageable crowds, making it an excellent time for sightseeing and outdoor activities. July can also be a good option, but it's the peak tourist season, and prices for accommodations tend to rise.
Peak / festival surge
July is the peak month for tourists, with the Hannover Messe, one of the world's largest trade fairs, drawing large crowds. Expect higher hotel prices and a lively atmosphere, especially during the festival, which usually takes place in late July. The Hannover Messe is a major event in the city's calendar, and it's a great time to experience the city's industry and innovation.
Budget shoulder season
April and May are the best shoulder months for budget-conscious travellers, with mild temperatures (10-20°C) and fewer crowds. You can find discounted rates at hotels and attractions, and the city's parks and gardens are particularly beautiful during this time.
Weather & packing
Hannover's climate is influenced by its proximity to the North Sea, resulting in mild temperatures and rainfall throughout the year. Be sure to pack layers for your visit, as the temperature can fluctuate significantly between day and night, with average highs ranging from 15°C to 25°C in July.

Your Perfect Room

Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the lower floors (1st-3rd) as they may be noisier due to street traffic and potential noise from the service entrance.

Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
Use ATMs at banks or post offices for the best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at the airport and central station as they charge high fees and poor rates.
Cards (EC/Maestro, Visa, Mastercard) and contactless are widely accepted in supermarkets, restaurants, and shops; smaller bakeries and market stalls may be cash-only. Mobile pay (Apple Pay, Google Pay) works where contactless is supported.
Tipping is not mandatory but appreciated for good service: round up the bill at cafes/bars, leave 5-10% in restaurants, round up to the nearest euro for taxis, and give €1-2 per bag to hotel porters.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →A standard filter coffee or espresso at a bakery or cafe costs around €2–2.50.
A döner kebab or falafel wrap from a takeaway is about €4–5.
A main course at a neighbourhood Italian or Greek restaurant costs €9–12.
The area around the main train station (Hauptbahnhof) and Lister Meile has several döner kebab and currywurst stands, plus Asian takeaway places.
Aldi, Lidl, Netto, and Edeka are the main budget supermarket chains in this area.
C&A, H&M, and Primark near the city centre (e.g., Kröpcke and Ernst-August-Platz) offer affordable high-street fashion; there's no large market for clothes locally.
A single bus/tram ticket is about €3, but a day pass (Tageskarte) for zone A (inner city) costs €5.90 and covers all buses, trams, and S-Bahn. From the airport, take the S-Bahn S5 to the main station (€3.80 single).
Buy a day pass if you'll take more than two rides in a day; use supermarkets for water and snacks (much cheaper than kiosks); eat at lunchtime for reduced menüs at many Turkish and Italian places.

🚐 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)
💡 Almex or Hallo Taxi apps work well. If traffic is heavy on the A2, the driver might take side roads—expect closer to 25 mins.
