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 HMTG, is delighted about today’s launch: “Finally, we can once again show Hannover fans our beautiful city. My tip to everyone living in the Hanover region: 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 perhaps from an unexpected angle—with 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 City Hall, the Old Town, Herrenhausen, the Maschsee, and the Eilenriede—and when the weather is nice, the roof is even open

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

Hanover Old Town Walking Tour — Perfect for Walking
