City tours start again

Of course, current guidelines—particularly those regarding social distancing and hygiene—are strictly followed on all tours. For example, group sizes are limited to a maximum of 10 people, a minimum distance of 1.5 meters must be maintained between participants, and face masks are required. We also collect guests’ contact information for potential contact tracing.

Hans Christian Nolte, Managing Director of Hannover Marketing und Tourismus GmbH, is delighted with today’s launch: “Finally, we can show Hannover fans our beautiful city again. My tip to all residents of the Region Hannover: why not take a guided bike tour, a walk through the Old Town, or a ride on the hop-on hop-off bus? I’m sure you’ll get to know your hometown in a whole new way and from a perhaps unexpected perspective—insider tips included.”

Here is an overview of the current tours:

Hop-on Hop-off City Tour
Starting immediately, the double-decker bus tour will once again depart on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from the Tourist Information Office at Ernst-August-Platz 8. The route takes you past the New Town Hall, the Old Town, Herrenhausen, Lake Maschsee, and the Eilenriede Forest—and in good weather, the roof will even be open

Tip: The Kids’ Channel was updated over the winter break and is now ready to delight children ages 6–14 with lots of stories and information about Hannover. When accompanied by an adult, two children 14 and under ride for free!
