Virtual Reality City Tour: 300 Years of Hannover

Experience Hanover's history as a virtual adventure! On this guided VR city tour, you’ll actively travel through 300 years of history. Accompanied by a personal guide, you’ll walk to five historic stops, put on your VR headset, and—thanks to state-of-the-art VR/AR technology and interactive content—be immersed right in the heart of the action.

Experience firsthand what life was like in different eras: Stand at the imposing Aegidientor around 1636, where protection and trade met; meet the universal genius Leibniz (around 1673); and feel the pulse of industrialization (around 1875). Discover the unvarnished narrowness of an old town alley around 1902 and marvel at the lost masterpiece of river water engineering from around 1920.
