It’s time to start dreaming of your next trip. Here are even must-see sites in Hanover, Germany.
Hanover’s Altstadt (Old Town) was rebuilt after World War II and features medieval architecture, half-timbered houses and brick Gothic structures. The area dates back to 1410 and includes bustling streets lined with restaurants, cafés and boutiques. © Igor Marx | Dreamstime.com
It may look like a castle, but it’s actually New Town Hall. The building’s dome, 320 feet high, has its own observation platform for visitors to see the city and Harz mountain range. The town hall lies within 5-acre Maschpark. © Mapics | Dreamstime.com
