What-to-do in Hanover
Hanover in one day
The Red Thread
Follow the famous “Red Thread” — a red line painted on the sidewalk that guides you independently to the most important sights in the city center. Over approximately 4.2 kilometers, you’ll discover 36 stops full of history, architecture, and culture — from the old town and churches to museums and modern highlights.
City Hall
A must-see for every visitor: the New City Hall with its impressive dome. The diagonal elevator takes you up to the observation platform, offering breathtaking views over the city and, on clear days, as far as the Harz mountains. Inside, you’ll also find historic city models and elegant architecture worth exploring.
Maschsee
Just a few minutes from the city center lies the Maschsee — an artificial lake perfect for strolling, jogging, or simply relaxing by the water. In summer, the area hosts numerous events, including the popular Maschsee Festival with international cuisine and live music.
If you have more time

Eilenriede – the green city forest

For the Curious
Affordable alternative to hotels in Hanover
In many cities across Germany, accommodation prices are steadily rising — and hanover is no exception. Every year, a large number of people looking for affordable housing flood the city center, searching for budget-friendly apartments or shared flats. Since finding a suitable flat or shared apartment often takes time, but the semester starts on a fixed date, many initially turn to hotels in hanover. Unfortunately, these hotels can be either very expensive or poorly located. The result? Empty wallets or unnecessarily long travel times.
At BoxHotel, we’ve made it our mission to offer an affordable and practical alternative: a hotel room in a box! This gives you a cozy bed, fast Wi-Fi, and even a private shower — all at an unbeatable price and in a central location. With this, the search for affordable accommodation in hanover is a thing of the past.
Booking, check-in, and use of our BoxHotel hanover are done digitally through our app — quick and easy! This saves time and lets you focus on what really matters instead of hunting for a cheap hotel that’s miles away from the city center.
