Dome entrances extended until November 16

Instead of closing at the end of October as usual, the elevator will remain in operation until November 16 this year. Starting November 3, however, the elevator will close at 4:30 p.m.—just in time, with a little luck, to catch the beginning of the sunset from the dome.
“We’re expecting a golden autumn, so we’ve decided to extend the season by a few days,” says André Lawiszus,
managing director of Hannover Veranstaltungs GmbH (HVG), which operates the elevator.
At an angle of 17 degrees, visitors are transported to the 97.73-meter-high dome of the New City Hall. A window in the cabin roof allows passengers to follow the ride up close—and another window in the floor can be made transparent at the push of a button. The ride takes about one minute, with the curved dome lift moving at a speed of approximately 2 km/h.
