City tour

Experience Hanover from a new perspective. Discover sights such as the New City Hall, the Old Town, the Herrenhausen Gardens, 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 most important sights along a single route. Thanks to the flexible hop-on, hop-off system, you can get on and off at any stop and explore Hanover at your own pace.

Guided city tour on select Saturdays

The tour led by a personal tour guide is particularly popular. On the first and third Saturdays 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.

Travel in comfort and accessibility

The bus has two wheelchair spaces, allowing guests with limited mobility to travel in comfort.

During the ride, an audio guide provides interesting information about the sights along the route. The commentary is available in the following languages:

German, English, French, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Russian, Polish, Chinese, Japanese, and Low German.
