Information about Hannover
Why Hannover? Hanover is populer among locals for the low cost of living); good public transport); wealth of museums, theatre, live music and other arts and cultural events. The city is also in very close proximity to large green spaces and Europe's largest urban forest, the Baroque Herrenhäuser Gärten, is very close to hand. This city though is not like many other European cities that boast beautiful centuries-old buildings. Hannover was one of the hardest hit during World War II and left it with little to none historical landmarks. This area is mostly composed of grey 1950's buildings but the red-brick Gothic Market Church and the Old Town Hall still stand among half-timbered houses in the rebuilt old town. If you stay long enough to get to know the city you will surely enjoy the laid-back lifestyle it offers.
