I like Hannover cuz you get this sense of coziness right there, as it is a small town so I guess people there are more friendly and simplistic than the people in Berlin or other big German cities where people are always busy as well as practical but in Hannover the case is so much different where you get this cozy feeling and the locals there are so nice and friendly Germans and they do have a lot of free time to spend in brewries, bars, pops wherever but most importantly that the type of life in Hannover is smother and lighter than the very big German cities. For me, personally speaking, in Germany I prefer small towns and enjoy life more in such snug villages or towms in terms of everything including the people right in such cozy towns
You need to go to Linden-Nord and the east town of hannover when you ever go there again. Linden is for Hannover what Kreuzberg is in Berlin. And the East town is just beautiful. Nearly untouched by the bombs in WW2 and with most of the houses remaining. Nearby you have the Eilenriede, a city forest, multiple times bigger than the Central Park NY.
+Dim Mih Definitely, visit Celle!! I live in Celle :-) especially if you're interested in history. Celle is one of the oldest towns in Germany. It got "town rights" in 1292, and the oldest house still standing was build in 1522. There are some interesting things to learn about the royalties of England and Germany, too. Visit the castle, take a guided tour!
I have lived in Stuttgart and Dortmund and now living in Hannover for last 6 years and absolutely love it in comparison to other two which are bigger than Hannover.
I lived in Hannover for a bit and everything you said is so true. Especially about the service… which isn’t really that bad but just not great either. Great place to live in summer with all the parks and lakes around. A couple of great picturesque beer gardens which are awesome on a summers night… my favourite was the old at the old royal stables next to the Eilenriede.. can’t remember the name.
My mother was born about 40 km east of Hannover. As to your comment about the weather, I would like to add only this. September and October are among the sunniest months there. November and May are rainy, just as they are here in Toronto, Canada. December and early January (the time of your video) tend to have mild temperatures;; however, it is often overcast. The summer months are quite sunny. I have experienced very cool and very hot summers with the trend over the past 30 years to hotter summers.
Being from Hannover i can see your points :D For a tourist Hannover has not thaaaaat much to offer on first sight, but if you do your city tour with a person from Hannover and yes even the nightlife tour there are plenty of things to do i guess. You can start a tour across the city in the morning and party until 11AM. It is just hidden sometimes. I had different friends over from the states or brazil and I guess if they would have taken the tourist tour they would not have been that satisfied ;) I guess that goes for a lot of cities around the world so hannover is a mediocre city but I like it
Great Movie,...#5 in Hannover you really have to ask for what you want. ;) .. what you want is what you get.. The Red Line is adobted from Boston U.S.A. .. greetings from a Hannoverian citizian..
Thats pretty much a good description of my home town- well done though.The main train station has always been crazy scary...I miss good old Hannover sometimes. Hey did you know, that Hannoveranias LOVE their city and don't understand why people move to Berlin or Hamburg?? Thank you from Queens, NY.
If you like towns with a nice historic center and a small-town feel, have you been to Tübingen? That's the nicest of those that I could think of:) (Apart from the obvious ones, Heidelberg etc)
Any ideas about where to go to do genealogy research in Hannover? My husband's great-grandfather came to the US from Hannover. We would love to go there and research the family. His last name is Vogt, which I have heard is a very common name in Germany.
Terri Vogt there is a museum in Bremerhaven which is about 1.5 hours. if you know about when they left for the US and the family name they should be able to help you.
so is this a more traditional german city that also offers things to do , or is it boring in terms of entertainment? could you mention traditional german cities but with things to do?
If you want to talk about bad customer service, I have lost count of the amount of times I have gone to various restaurants, where we have placed orders in and either part of an order has been forgotten, or worse still they have entirely forgotten a meal, and this is in the restaurant where I speak the countries language perfectly, but the waitress doesn't speak enough to pass muster. Yes I am aware this is not entirely the same problem but still it is enough for very low reviews.
It really is, very helpful for tourists and a tourist attraction of its own :) I was hoping to get to Boston last summer for a conference so had done a bunch of research. super city, was there in the 1990s and loved it, but I am guessing it might be a bit different 20 years later :)
Sorry but you know nothing about Hannover. People here are the most friendly in Germany. You told only about few places and Hannover is full of wonderfull places ... sad
Nice report, but what makes you think the Brauhaus Ernst August is owned by the prince of hannover? (the hannover culture normally does mind anybody making such facts up out of the blue..)
Never liked Hannover. It's not as pretty as Braunschweig, very bleak looking town for most part. But it is more fun as there is more to do there, and I really love the jack the ripper pub.
Service Is bad cos they get paid so shit wages I am moving back to Germany from England as I love Germany but will be working abroad pay and tax is a joke
I totally agree with you! I lived in Hannover for a year. The service was really terrible, people are really cold and unfriendly to foreigners.I really do not want to live there anymore, but unfortunately my German fiance is still living in this small town and he wants me to live in Hannover again. I don't know what should I do now. A funny thing is people who live in Hannover always say ' this city is'. They've never accepted that is just a small town compare with big cities such as Hamburg. Sorry for my sharp tongue, but I really don't like there.
I may be filming there this summer so I don't want to ruin it for you :) worst, carnival crowds and ugly rebuilt downtown. loves the cathedral and drinking kolsch

Rathaus is really an impressive building which is worth visiting. And if you want small town feel, I'd recommend Celle.

+FSXMultiplayerforum i think that celle is a ugly and dirty city.. I was there a couple times because a friend lives there but i don't like the City.

I got quite the opposite impression.
I have lived in Stuttgart and Dortmund and now living in Hannover for last 6 years and absolutely love it in comparison to other two which are bigger than Hannover.

Love your videos. Thanks for appreciating also the more modern cities like Frankfurt or Hannover which are often underrated.

Feb is the driest month in Hannover. Hotels are half price.

I'm planning to go to Hannover in August to learn German, I don't know what to wear? I've seen that it rains on average like for 9 days.
I love this video! I hope to travel as much as you do when I'm older!
Yes same here. Especially on wanting to live in Holland for about 1 year, then Sweden for 2 years, Japan for about 8 months & so on.
I hope so too! all the best to you and your travels!
Thats pretty much a good description of my home town- well done though.The main train station has always been crazy scary...I miss good old Hannover sometimes. Hey did you know, that Hannoveranias LOVE their city and don't understand why people move to Berlin or Hamburg?? Thank you from Queens, NY.
If you want a Berlin oder Hamburg feel in Hannover, Linden-Nord is the place to go.
I am from Hannover and I am such suprised he said it would be a famous city^^
Goslar is a fantastic town in the Harz mountains
Absolutely agree with you. Had a similar experience.
German art cracks me up! AnaMaria from California (yes I used to live in Germany in Aachen)
Haha next video, same thing :) I think you got a pretty good feeling about Hannover! Thank's for your view of my town :)
great video. Thank you.
Any thoughts on Bremen? I'm going next week.
If you like towns with a nice historic center and a small-town feel, have you been to Tübingen? That's the nicest of those that I could think of:) (Apart from the obvious ones, Heidelberg etc)
he didnt show the main station place :o

enjoyed!
thank you :)
About damn time Mark, So you finally got your computer thawed out... CHEERS!
that darn polar vortex ;)
Is that not near Luneburg? It looks exactly like it...
so is this a more traditional german city that also offers things to do , or is it boring in terms of entertainment?
could you mention traditional german cities but with things to do?
CAN ANY ONE TELL ME ABOUT THE STUDIES IN THIS CITY I'm willing to study in hannover
If you want to talk about bad customer service, I have lost count of the amount of times I have gone to various restaurants, where we have placed orders in and either part of an order has been forgotten, or worse still they have entirely forgotten a meal, and this is in the restaurant where I speak the countries language perfectly, but the waitress doesn't speak enough to pass muster.
Yes I am aware this is not entirely the same problem but still it is enough for very low reviews.
The red line sounds like the freedom trail in Boston
It really is, very helpful for tourists and a tourist attraction of its own :) I was hoping to get to Boston last summer for a conference so had done a bunch of research. super city, was there in the 1990s and loved it, but I am guessing it might be a bit different 20 years later :)
the way he pronounces hanover :D
Sorry but you know nothing about Hannover. People here are the most friendly in Germany. You told only about few places and Hannover is full of wonderfull places ... sad
Well, Hamburg and Berlin are 4 to 7 times bigger than Hannover.. so the comparision isn't quite fair..
dont cry
Nice report, but what makes you think the Brauhaus Ernst August is owned by the prince of hannover? (the hannover culture normally does mind anybody making such facts up out of the blue..)
I'm still waiting for the correct pronunctiation of Hannover. The comment about the main station is relative.
Das Wetter in Deutschland ist im Herbst/Winter nicht gerade schön, aber was willst du machen? Dich beim lieben Gott beschweren?
Never liked Hannover. It's not as pretty as Braunschweig, very bleak looking town for most part. But it is more fun as there is more to do there, and I really love the jack the ripper pub.
You filmed this in January the worst month for all of Europe and you called the weather bad, isn’t that a bit biased
Worlds largest orchid collection!
Service Is bad cos they get paid so shit wages I am moving back to Germany from England as I love Germany but will be working abroad pay and tax is a joke
The best thing about Hanover is the Primark!
I totally agree with you! I lived in Hannover for a year. The service was really terrible, people are really cold and unfriendly to foreigners.I really do not want to live there anymore, but unfortunately my German fiance is still living in this small town and he wants me to live in Hannover again. I don't know what should I do now. A funny thing is people who live in Hannover always say ' this city is'. They've never accepted that is just a small town compare with big cities such as Hamburg. Sorry for my sharp tongue, but I really don't like there.
There is only one thing you will hate about Hanover as a tourist:
1.) yourself (for having made the crazy decision to got there)
Can you write here the Best & Worst of Cologne,Germany.
I may be filming there this summer so I don't want to ruin it for you :) worst, carnival crowds and ugly rebuilt downtown. loves the cathedral and drinking kolsch
All the Protests during the weekend.
Oh no Hannover! My rivalry city! Wolters why Hannover? Why not Brunswick? You're breaking my heart with this video xD
don't worry... we will get there soon enough my friend :)
tot und hass dem btsv!!!
Hannover is bigger, more beautiful, the capital of Lower Saxony and has the best football club in the world
+woltersworld nooo dont go there!! It's terrible!
Fuck Braunschweig
I am from Hanover and what I can tell you is:
Hanover is the most boring place in Germany
