Fall Break in Lower Saxony

The Perfect Day Off in Hanover

With the start of fall break in the north, Hannover Marketing und Tourismus GmbH (HTMG) is encouraging people to visit the Hannover vacation region under the slogan “The Perfect Day Off.”

A colorful mix of recreational activities makes for an attractive day of vacation: Spend the morning exploring the sights along the Roter Faden—including short breaks for coffee and shopping. In the afternoon, try out new fun sports at Neon Mini-Golf, on the trampoline course, or at LaserTag. Things get wild and exciting with a visit to the Hannover Adventure Zoo, followed by a city tour on a hop-on, hop-off double-decker bus.

“We invite you to enjoy a wonderful vacation in the Hanover region while maintaining social distancing. Our hotels, recreational facilities, restaurants, and retail businesses are well-prepared to ensure our guests can have a relaxing time here. The proximity and blend of city and nature promise unique experiences,” said Hans Nolte, managing director of HMTG.

For all Hannover fans who’d like to extend their stay with an overnight visit, an evening out at the GOP Varieté Theater, the Schauspielhaus, or one of the many restaurants is a great option. The next day, the vacation itinerary includes exciting nature experiences with a trip to Marienburg, the Deister, or the Steinhuder Meer. The activities and opportunities in this vacation region range from exciting and relaxing to naturally urban.

“We want to show how it’s possible to enjoy a wonderful family vacation even with the restrictions caused by the pandemic. The pandemic is a good reason to take advantage of and discover all the wonderful things to do nearby,” says Martin Prenzler, executive director of City-Gemeinschaft Hannover e.V., expressing his enthusiasm for the joint campaign.

Five unique suggestions for the perfect day of vacation have been turned into large-format posters. Starting October 9, these colorful designs will be displayed on approximately 200 billboards in Bielefeld, Braunschweig, Bremen, Göttingen, and Wolfsburg, inviting people to visit Hanover. Advertisements in daily newspapers in Schleswig-Holstein and Lower Saxony, as well as corresponding online ads, are also part of the campaign. The radio partner is the German Cities Network (DSN), which reaches listeners throughout northern Germany as well as in Hesse and Rhineland-Palatinate via the stations Radio 21, Rockland Radio, and Antenne Sylt. In the neighboring countries of Denmark and the Netherlands, ads in the daily newspapers and on the websites of “Jydske Vestkysten” and “Vrijetijdkrant” promote a visit to Hannover this fall.

Cord Kelle, Chair of the DEHOGA Hannover Region Hotel Division, invites guests to discover the region’s diverse range of hotels: “From country inns right on the edge of the forest to hotels in the heart of the city, the Hannover region has just the right option for every vacation. Especially in these times, we are all experienced hosts who put our hearts into what we do.”
