Hanover Halal Travel Guide

Hanover is not a typical European city. Don't expect to see beautiful centuries-old buildings; the city was one of the hardest hit during WW 2, leaving it with only a few historical monuments. Even the Old City (Altstadt) area is "new"; all the old houses left standing after the war (around 40) were taken from throughout the city and collected in one place. This area is surrounded by some 1950s and 1960s buildings that give a somewhat heavy atmosphere to the streets. However and there still are several residential neighborhoods consisting of late-19th-century housing stock with often elaborate historicist (Victorian) and Jugendstil (Art Nouveau) decorations just outside the downtown area, such as Oststadt, List or Linden.

Hanover has large green areas, with forests and big parks. The landscape is mostly flat, with the river Leine going through the city. The lake Masch (Maschsee) is rather spectacular, considering its size as a man-made object.

The city had a special relationship to the late French artist Niki de Saint-Phalle. She had several of her works in public spots in Hanover (i.e., "the Nanas", "the Cave" in the Great Garden) and also in the Sprengel Museum. To honor her contribution to Hanover, she was granted an honorary citizenship from the city government. Moreover and the renovated "underground" shopping passageway from the central station to Kröpcke was named "The Niki de Saint-Phalle Promenade".

Hanover's public services are excellent, due to major reconstruction for the World Expo 2000. The shopping area under the train station was renovated in 2005-2006 in preparation for the World Cup.

History

Hanover was founded in medieval times on the south bank of the river Leine and became a comparatively large town in the 13th century. Its original name Honovere may mean "high (river)bank". There was a time of personal union of the crowns of the United Kingdom and Hanover (1714–1837). Soldiers from Hanover emigrated to Great Britain, leading to the formation of the King's German Legion, which was the only German army to fight throughout the entire Napoleonic Wars against the French. They later played an important role in the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. After World War II, Hanover became the capital of Lower Saxony, a state created from several disparate elements and the most sparsely populated of the old Federal Republic but also the second biggest by area of all 16 states of reunited Germany. Hanover profited from its new status as capital and is the northern endpoint of Germany's first (opened 1991) - and still longest - high speed rail line, linking Würzburg and Hanover along a North-South spine that was totally overwhelmed with traffic during the perioid of German partition and still carries significant amounts of traffic to this day. Hanover has also become one of Germany's trade fair capitals in a highly competitive market, hosting Germany's only world exhibition after the war in Expo 2000 (with some buildings from the event still extant) and also CeBit. The trade fair area of Hanover is the largest in the world by some measures.

Kröpcke

Kröpcke is a large pedestrian area in the heart of Hanover. It is Hanover's major shopping spot, home to the Opera house and has lots of places to eat. The main station in the Hanover Stadtbahn network, is also located here. All Stadtbahn lines except the 10 and 17, call at the station and it is the main interchange point for the network. It has six platforms in total on three lines that cross each other in independent tunnels. There is a big green clock in Kröpcke.

• Kröpcke-clock| which makes an ideal meeting point.

Buy a Flight ticket to and from Hanover

• Hanover airport IATA Flight Code: HAJ It is served by many European network airlines (through their respective hubs) and some budget airlines flying point-to-point. The airport is the ninth busiest in Germany by passenger numbers

On line S5, S-Bahn (stations are indicated by this S-Bahn-Logo.svg|15px sign) trains run twice-an-hour from the airport to central station (Hauptbahnhof) (and on to Hamelin or Paderborn). A 2-Zone ticket is needed from the airport to downtown. The fare is €3.40 (2023) for a single ticket (see chapter Hanover#By public transportation|public transportation for other ticket options) and will take around 17 minutes.

Travel by train to Hanover

Due to its location, Hanover has good connections from all major cities in Germany through Deutsche Bahn (DB) and the German rail service. There are also direct trains to the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Austria several times a day, including a few sleeper trains operated by (Nightjet).

Hanover is also reachable by regional trains, making it feasible to use the affordable and popular “weekend tickets” (German: Schönes-Wochenende-Ticket) on weekends and the “travel throughout Germany tickets” for the rest of the week. Both are applicable for the whole republic and cost €40 or €44 (2023) for a single person. It gets even cheaper if you travel in a little group of up to five people. If you are already in lower saxony, you can use the “Lower-Saxony-Ticket” (German: Niedersachsen-Ticket) for €23 (2022).

The high speed Inter City Express Trains (ICE trains) can take you all over Germany to places such as: Frankfurt, Hamburg, Stuttgart, Munich, Cologne, and Berlin. The trip to Hanover from Berlin takes 1hr 30min, from Hamburg 1hr 20min, from Frankfurt 2hr 20min, and from Munich 4hr 30min. Prices vary depending on time of travel and the ticket type such as an economy, freedom or comfort ticket, but a freedom ticket from Berlin to Hanover will cost you from €75.

Hanover is also served by Locomore on their Berlin-Stuttgart route. Tickets can be purchased through Flixbus but not DB vending machines or the DB website. DB tickets are not valid on Locomore.

Travel on a Bus in Hanover

See also: Intercity buses in Germany

Hanover is linked to the rest of Germany and parts of Europe by frequent bus services. Bus rides tend to be fairly quick avoiding unnecessary hold ups but they are not the most comfortable way to travel especially for long distances. The Central Bus Station (Zentraler Omnibus Bahnhof or "ZOB") is behind (to the north-west of) the Central Station (Hauptbahnhof). The biggest company by far is Flixbus with Berlinbus a clear second and all others accounting for pocket change by comparison.

International buses still serve Hannover, for example:

• Buses to Bosnia are run by Globtour
• Buses to Croatia are run by Čazmatrans
• Buses to Czech Republic:

By car

Hanover is served by the excellent German road system, being on both the Hamburg to Kassel (Highway A7) running north and south and the Berlin to Düsseldorf (A2) running east and west. The city is easily reached after leaving these two motorways. In Germany they drive on the right and the autobahns have no speed limits unless individual speed limits are clearly indicated.. While the limits on the B-roads are quite high (usually 100kph, even more on motorway-style B-roads) and they can drop to as low as 50kph in built up areas. From Hamburg the drive is around an hour and a half. From Berlin and Düsseldorf and the drive is around 3 hours, but heavy (truck-)traffic on the A2 can play havoc to plans.

Much of Hanover (more or less the rectangle formed by motorway A2 in the north and the three freeways west, south, and east of the downtown) has been declared a low emission zone (Umweltzone). All motor vehicles need a badge (Feinstaubplakette) indicating their pollution category; this also applies for foreign-registered cars. In Hanover the most stringent category indicated by a green badge is required. Entering without a badge will cost you a fine if you are caught.

Get Around

By public transportation

Hanover has a fantastic network of public transportation, so it's best to park your vehicle and ride. If you plan to make more than two trips by tram, bus, or subway, a day ticket is your best option, buying you unlimited travel on the public transport system. Day tickets are valid until the last connection of the day (which normally ends sometime after midnight). The public transportation adopts an honor system for tickets, but they do have ticket inspections once in a while (also late at nights and early mornings). The fine is quite high, so make sure you have a ticket all the time. Be aware that some tickets will need to be validated (stamped on the 'blue box'), and some not, depending on the machine.

• Ticket and Cards Regions. It may be confusing to understand the zones of Hanover public transportation. The key is to know that there are "tickets" and "cards". The term "tickets" applies to the ones bought at the machine or elsewhere, while "cards" are the ones with (monthly) subscription. Inside the city area, you only need a 1-zone ticket as it already covers a good part of the city. However, for the airport you will need a 2-zone ticket, as it is located outside Zone 1. Tickets are valid on bus, tram, fast tram (S-Bahn), and regional train.

• Day ticket: € 5.00 (1 zone), € 6.60, (2 zones), € 8.20 (3 zones)
• Group day ticket (up to 5 persons): € 9.80 (1 zone), € 12.60 (2 zones), € 15.50 (3 zones)
• Single-trip ticket: € 2.60 (1 zone), € 3.40 (2 zones), € 4.30 (3 zones)
• Short-trip ticket (up to 3 stops for tram and 5 stops for bus): € 1.50
• Reduced ticket (children 6-14y, big dogs): € 1.30 (all zone)
• Special price for a carnet of 6 single-trip tickets (SammelTicket): €14.30 (1 zone) and €17.90 (2 zones) resp. 4 single-trip tickets €15.30 (3 zones)

If you are a returning visitor and have any carnets or day tickets left, bring them along! All tickets issued after 1 Jan 2002 (i.e. those with € as currency) have unlimited validity.

By bicycle or on foot

Bike paths are provided in almost every street that runs through the city. There is no law on using a helmet, but make sure that the bike has both front and rear lights if you don't want to get stopped by the police (fine: €10). In pedestrian areas in general bicycle riding is not allowed unless otherwise stated (Zusatzzeichen 1022-10 - Radfahrer frei, StVO 1992.svg|20px).

Pedestrian paths are also provided along every street and there is also a pedestrian area (indicated by this Zeichen 242.1 - Beginn einer Fußgängerzone, StVO 2009.svg|20px sign) in front of Central Station to Kröpcke (allowed for bikes between 19:00 and 11:00).

It is feasible to take your bike on the tram or bus for free on Monday to Friday 08:30-15:00 and after 21:00. There are no time restrictions on weekends.

Best way to travel in Hanover by a Taxi

Unless you have limited time, lots of heavy baggage, or are traveling after public transport stops at night, you might want to think twice about using taxi, as it is expensive. However, it could be cheaper if traveling in a big group: You can order a 7- or 9-seat taxi by phone and get more people in at the same price.
