MESSE
by Kajser-MK
The first fair was oppened in 1947, just after the WW2. The fair has been named as "Export Fair" ,and after few years developed into Hannover Fair (Messe). Now it is the biggest exhibition (together with Cebit) of the capital goods and equipment and goods in the world.
It is very large complex, but I have to admit that you will find anything you want here.
And of course, it is extremely expensive here-at least compared to the Hannover Center.
Hannover Marathon

Every year in May the Spielbanken Marathon is a big event in Hannover. Beside the normal Marathon there are Inline-scaters, Kids-Marathon and a Marathon for people in wheel-chairs. I don't take part but I enjoy to watch the runners.
Celtic Tiger Irish Pub
by mmcnie about Celtic Tiger Irish Pub
There are 3 Irish pubs in Hannover, and this one probably has the least authentic decor, but it is the friendliest. If you want to actually find a seat, not drown in cigarette smoke, and have a quiet pint while taking in the football or playing darts, come here. Interestingly enough the owner is the only non-English speaker. like any Irish pub...clothes required
South American specialties & atmosphere
by vanessadb about Chimú
In a warm and nicely decorated atmosphere, this bar restaurant owned by a Chilean woman is a nice choice to have dinner and drinks in the center. My personal favourites are the tacos as an appetizer and the corn pie as a main dish. As for wines they have a very good selection of Chilean and Argentinian bottles.
Trainstation
by nepalgoods
Most visitors to Hannover enter the city through our main trainstation. Even if you arrive by airplane, you have to take the train into the city.
Hannover's main station was build in 1876 - 1879 by the architect Hubert Stier. It was completely renovated in 2000 für EXPO 2000
The trainstation is a lively place with a shopping mall and some nice restaurants. In summer it is very nice to sit outside in a Cafe and have an icecream.
