City tour

Experience Hannover from a new perspective. Discover sights such as the New Town Hall, the Old Town, the Royal Gardens of Herrenhausen, Lake Maschsee, and the Eilenriede Forest from the comfort of a double-decker bus. When the weather is nice, you can even enjoy the view from the open upper deck.

Experience Hanover's highlights on a tour

The hop-on, hop-off city tour takes you to the city’s main attractions along a single route. Thanks to the flexible hop-on, hop-off system, you can get on and off at any stop and explore Hannover at your own pace.

Guided city tour on select Saturdays

The guided tour led by a tour guide is particularly popular. On the first and third Saturday of every month, the 10:30 a.m. tour is led by a live guide and offers fascinating insights into Hanover’s history, culture, and sights.
