Discovering the city from your holiday apartment in Hannover

The Old Town of Hannover for example is actually a ‘new’ Old Town. After the war only around 40 old buildings remained across the city, so they carefully took them down and reconstructed them all at the same location to create the nucleus of the ‘new’ Old Town. Thankfully the old town hall survived the bombing and some of it dates to the 1400s. The nearby Marktkirche or ‘church at the market’ also dates from this period. The city’s Maschsee Lake meanwhile is a manmade lake almost 1 km squared and is a popular venue for relaxing, boating and other water sports.
