In the bustling city center of Lower Saxony’s capital, people meet up to shop by the historic Kröpcke Clock or “under the tail”—the equestrian statue in front of the main train station—and that’s how the new pocket guide “Hannover: Unmistakable” begins. It offers numerous insider tips on shopping, culinary city tours, culture, and recreational activities, such as mountain biking or rock climbing. The guide focuses on the city’s trendiest neighborhoods: In the colorful, bustling Linden district, bon vivants turn the streets into their living rooms. In Nordstadt, just behind the university, the many students create a peaceful, laid-back atmosphere. In the historic List district, you’ll find chic boutiques and wine bars, while Südstadt stands out for the Maschsee and its beautiful neighborhood squares.

“Personal, authentic, genuine, and relaxed—that’s how we want to promote our city to young travelers in particular with our current advertising campaign, and also remind those who know Hannover well of who we are,” said Hans Christian Nolte, managing director of HMTG.

Advertising campaign in May and June

The new pocket guide “Hannover: Unmistakable” has been published with a total print run of 430,000 copies. Since the beginning of the month, the 150,000 guides in Dutch have been distributed directly to households, primarily in “new” residential areas stretching from the German-Dutch border to Utrecht. The 250,000 guides in German are being made available in bars, cafés, gyms, and recreational facilities in East Frisia, Soltau, Braunschweig, and other locations around Hanover. Students in Hanover, Bremen, Oldenburg, and Göttingen also received a copy in their “campus bag” at the start of the new semester. You can’t miss the latest Hanover insider tips on the road or by rail either: around 60,000 copies are available on Postbus, BerlinBus, and DeinBus. On trains operated by NordOstseeBahn, NordWestBahn, and Deutsche Bahn, travelers will find not only the guides but also advertisements on approximately 750,000 travel timetables, ceiling hangers, and posters featuring the guides’ distinctive cover photos.

Large-format posters—for example, in subway stations in Hamburg, train stations in Bremen and Münster, and at select locations throughout northern Germany—also help draw attention to the campaign. The advertising campaign is rounded out by commercials shown in over 40 locations of a fast-food chain.

At www.hannover.de/bloggers, you'll now find numerous posts by national and international travel bloggers who have already visited Hannover and shared their personal impressions.
