The Herrenhäuser Gardens
Famous baroque gardens with magnificent water features and historic gardens.
With more than 11 percent green space, Hanover is one of the greenest cities in Germany.
Magnificent parks, sprawling gardens, and natural recreational areas stretch across the entire city. The Herrenhausen Gardens, with their baroque splendor, invite visitors to take a leisurely stroll, while the Eilenriede—Europe’s largest urban forest—offers a place to breathe deeply right in the heart of the city. Together with the Erlebnis-Zoo, these elements create a unique blend of nature, recreation, and urban quality of life.
