There's not a huge amount - we bombed most flat!
Given a half day I might hire a pushbike and ride around the park - it's very central and very nice.

Yup, have to agree with the above sentiments - I've been to Hannover for a week every year for the last 10+ years....it's a dump!
best thing about Hannover is the motorway leading out of town... the place sucks R's
Steintor on the underground system is the place where you can see all the local drunks and Junkies hanging around, there's the big exhibition ground just out of town (that's a proper R's sucky place on a massive scale)
the shopping centre reminded me of Auf Widerseen Pet... but less funny with more Mullets.
I liked the airport when the plane left with me on it.
My recommendation get really drunk quickly....

ps I remember once asking a taxi driver at Koblenz railway station to go the the old town , he didn´t know what I was talking about . Transpired we bombed that too . Didn´t like Koblenz much .Suppose Hannover might be like that .

that might be true but the mingers start two flights up so don't waste your time thinking things will get better the higher you go....

Yup, seen some of them...there's some very friendly ladies that live near the train station, in flats above some shops
...alledgedly they get better looking as you get to the upper floors......I'm not convinced
Hi Harry, I go there quite a lot on business. Perhaps the best is to get the map out and consider jumping on a train. A few stops gets you somewhere much nicer...........Good luck mate.

My Grandad, long since departed, went to Hanover a few times. I remember him telling me about it.
He didn't land, though.

Harry,
I agree with all the above comments. If I was a true local, I'd also take offence to you posting about Hannover in the "Black Forest" section. Hannover belongs more in the "Black Hole" section

So in short it's an armpit full of arseholes, most people would rather have bad news from the pox doctor than spend 20 minutes there.
Welcome to Hannover, we hope you enjoy your stay.....
on the plus side Hameln and the mountains towards the south east are rather nice if you get off the motorway....

Hannover? Are you sure?
I like Hannover, been there quite a few times. I found plenty to interest me around the Hauptbahnhof - no I wasn't thinking about the girls!
Louis Motorrad, pronounced 'Lewis,' is a big shop in Hamburger Allee, within easy walking distance, and is a must visit for bikers. It's part of a large chain rather like Hein Gericke, but with more stuff and with prices that makes UK bikers wonder why we're always so ripped off! If you visit Louis, be prepared, you will buy stuff and a new helmet can be a pain to carry!
Herrenhausen Gardens - probably the large park already referred to is worth a look, but probably for an afternoon, in the Altstadt there's more to interest you, Bierkellers, Brewpubs, all the usual city stuff you'd expect. Probably more interesting than Manchester or Birmingham cos it's foreign!
