Days Out in Hannover’s Museums and Gardens

Delve into Hannover’s roots at the Historisches Museum, which whose exhibits trace the city’s evolution from medieval market town to modern metropolis. The Landesmuseum has a more wide-ranging brief, with collections that span natural history, ethnography, archaeology and art. For a different take on design, visit Hannover’s Royal Herrenhausen Gardens complex. The central Grosser Garten is a classic formal garden, with groomed lawns, geometric beds and elegant statues. The neighbouring Georgengarten, by contrast, imitates a rolling English landscape.
