Holiday Hanover
Once again are you thinking of a good holiday this year but do not know where to go and what to see. Maybe you don’t feel like visiting an overcrowded touristy place where just everyone goes. And this time you would probably love to check out an off-beaten path place. Are you asking yourself which one to choose? Have you been to Germany?
If not, and you would like to put your feet somewhere where not every single traveller has been to, then Hanover is the right place to go. And for example from the UK, it is very easy to get there. You can bookflights to Hanover from London Heathrow. And then from the HAJ airport, there are trains, buses and taxis to get you to the center of the town.
Hanover is a lovely town situated on the river Leine. Hannover is the capital of Lower Saxony and it used to be the seat of the Hanoverian kings of Great Britain. Nowadays, until 2020, Hanover is a Vice-President City of Mayors for Peace which is working on eliminating the nuclear weapons.
