Highlights:
The Great Garden of Hanover is one of the famous European Baroque gardens. The Duke of Calenberg started building the garden as early as 1638. Over the past three centuries, the owners of the garden have changed dynasties, and the garden has been remodeled and expanded to a great extent. In the mid-17th century, the garden was only half its current size. It was not until 1714 that the then-elector Madame Sophia of Hanover remodeled it in the Baroque style of Lower Saxony and expanded it to 50 hectares, which is the size of today.

Highlights:
Hannover Zoo was built in 1865 and covers an area of 22 hectares. As one of the Expo 2000 projects, Hannover spent 5 years since 1999 to transform the original traditional zoo into an adventure zoo that is now attractive all over the world. This form of adventure park has no precedent in Europe. No zoo has created an amusement park where animals and humans can come so close to each other in such a short period of time. There are 233 species of animals and about 1,800 animals. The zoo received more than 1.2 million visitors in 2006. According to the survey, most visitors rate Hannover Zoo as very good or good.

Highlights:
The hall on the first floor displays the history of Hanover's urban development. In particular, there are some models that reflect the appearance of the city before the war, shortly after the war and the city, so that visitors can see it at a glance. What is worth mentioning in the city hall is the elevator leading to the top observation deck. The elevator climbs up 50 meters at a 17-degree angle along the vault. It is a sloping elevator in Europe. From the roof, you can see the whole view of Hanover, and then you will truly realize that it is worthy of the title of "Green Metropolis".
