A guest in your city

You know your own city—but when was the last time you experienced it as a visitor? Checking in instead of commuting, breakfast instead of the daily grind, and then heading out right away to explore: With “A Guest in Your City,” Hannover Marketing und Tourismus GmbH (HMTG), in partnership with 30 hotels, is inviting people for the twelfth year in a row to discover Hannover and the region from a new perspective. This initiative also aligns with the concept behind HMTG’s new flagship campaign, “Unboxing Hannover”: unpack the familiar, experience it anew, and see your own city through fresh eyes. 

From October 30 through November 2, 2026, approximately 2,000 rooms in 30 hotels in Hannover and the Region Hannover will be available at special rates—25 euros per hotel star for a double room, including breakfast.

Whether you're traveling alone or with your family, there are options to suit your needs: Some hotels offer discounted single rooms, and a limited number of triple rooms are also available for families.

This means that, for the first time, the promotional price in 2026 will remain at the previous year’s level: Since the promotion began in 2015, the price has corresponded to the year—ranging from 15 euros per hotel star and room in 2015 to 25 euros last year.

"Visiting Your City" will be available for booking starting Thursday, August 20 2026, 10 a.m. at www.visit-hannover.com/zu-gast. 

The requirement is that at least one person per room must be a resident of the Region Hannover (proof required at check-in). No credit card is required to make a reservation. Free cancellation is available up to seven days before arrival.

Four Days in Hannover from a New Perspective

When you check into a hotel in your own city, you suddenly see familiar things in a new light: breakfast becomes a special way to start the day, the short walk home turns into a little stroll through the city, and you can let the evening wind down without keeping an eye on the clock.

To go along with this, there are plenty of events taking place throughout the promotional weekend: “Disney in Concert 2026 – Anniversary Tour” at the ZAG Arena (Oct. 30) promises great entertainment. Soccer fans can attend Hannover 96’s home game against Dynamo Dresden that weekend, while handball fans can watch the Recken take on Bergischer HC (Oct. 31).

In the evening, the Glitterbox Party in the Kuppelsaal (Oct. 31) will set the mood with Ibiza vibes. Those who prefer dirndls, lederhosen, and traditional fare will find what they’re looking for at the Hannover Wies’n on the grounds of the Gilde Parkbühne. In addition, museums, theaters, clubs, movie theaters, and wellness centers offer numerous other options for a varied evening.

Even more reasons to see things from a different perspective: Special bonuses for hotel guests*

2:1 for guided city tours: For the Flashlight Tour on October 30 and 31 at 7 p.m. each day, as well as for “Hannover Einzigartig” on October 31 at 12 p.m., there’s a 2-for-1 offer for adults: Two people can participate, but you only pay for one ticket.

Party for 20 percent less: Guests of “Zu Gast in deiner Stadt” receive a 20 percent discount on admission to EXIT x Electric Sunday (Oct. 30) and Glitterbox (Oct. 31), both held in the Kuppelsaal at the HCC.
