From downtown Hanover, you can reach the Großer Garten not only by car or tram, but also through the Georgengarten. Designed by court gardener Christian Schaumburg as an ideal landscape modeled on the English style, the Georgengarten stretches to the left and right of the two-kilometer-long avenue of Linden trees and connects the city center with the Royal Gardens of Herrenhausen. With its clusters of trees, green spaces, vistas, and quiet nooks, the Georgengarten is the perfect complement to the Baroque Grand Garden and Berggarten.
Passing the Wilhelm Busch Museum, Herrenhäuser Allee winds through an idyllic landscape surrounded by expansive meadows, which serve as popular spots for relaxing, especially in the summer. Passing various benches and crossing small bridges, you reach the Leibniz Temple; this monument is also a popular meeting place in Hannover.
