Foresight and Bargains

This coming weekend, both the Old Town Flea Market and the popular tower tours via the arc-shaped elevator in the New City Hall will take place for the last time this year.

The Old Town Flea Market is taking a break for the winter. On Halloween Saturday, October 31, the Hohen Ufer will offer the last chance of the year to browse and hunt for treasures. Amid antiques, curiosities, and nostalgic finds, you might just discover the perfect accessory or an original decoration for your Halloween party that evening. For those who want to clear out their basements and attics one last time before winter, this is the final chance of the year to sell and give your unwanted treasures a new home.

Where? Am Hohen Ufer, Old Town, Hanover
When? October 31, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Important: Setup begins at 8 a.m.; takedown can begin at 4 p.m.

Registration is not required; parking spaces for vendors and portable restrooms are available in the immediate vicinity. 

On Sunday, November 1, you’ll have the last chance of the year to ride the unique arched elevator up to the dome of the New City Hall and take in the view of Hanover bathed in autumn colors. Important for all visitors: The last ride up is at 4:30 p.m.

An estimated 86,500 visitors are expected to have enjoyed the view from the New City Hall by the end of the season. This represents an increase of about 1,500 visitors compared to last year. The Arch Elevator thus remains a popular sightseeing hotspot in the city.
