Best Hannover Tours from Berlin

See a mini Versailles in this cosmopolitan Lower Saxony cultural capital. Hannover is home to the baroque Herrenhausen Gardens, which were inspired by the gardens at Versailles, where the Large Garden, Mountain Garden and Georgian Garden are why Hannover calls itself a city “in green.” Herrenhausen also features the Big Fountain, the tallest in Europe. History buffs will want to visit the Aegidienkirche, a 14th-century Gothic church that was bombed in 1943 and never repaired that stands as a reminder to the horrors of war. Despite heavy bombing during WWII, Hannover’s restored Altstadt (Old Town) retains a lot of charm.
