Following the "Red Thread" Through Hanover

© HMTG/Lars Gerhardts

Always follow the red line that runs through the middle of Hanover's city center from one sight to the next: This makes a tour of the city fun for the whole family and you won't miss a thing. The "Red Line" has been guiding visitors through the capital of Lower Saxony for over 40 years. The 4,200-metre-long route takes you to 36 sights, where you can linger as long as you like.

The path leads, for example, to the magnificent New City Hall, which displays four models of the city from the Middle Ages to the present day. Take the arched elevator up to the City Hall dome, where you’ll enjoy a panoramic view of the entire city. In the quaint Old Town, the highlights are all close together: the imposing Marktkirche and the Old City Hall—the southernmost examples of North German brick Gothic architecture—as well as the Leibniz House, featuring the reconstructed façade of Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz’s former residence. The Beginen Tower represents what remains of Hanover’s medieval city fortifications; the famous colorful “Nanas” on the banks of the Leine River invite you to linger, as do the cozy cafés and restaurants along the route.

The companion guide, "Der Rote Faden—Your Very Own Personal City Guide," is available in ten languages, and the service is also available as an app. For more information, contact the Tourist Information Office at 0511-12345111.
