Markthalle - Markethall
by nepalgoods
I am not quite sure, where to put this tip about Markthalle. It could be a restaurant- tip, as many people go there to eat the fresh food, which many stalls offer.
It could be a shopping-tip, as the market hall has many stalls with fresh fruits, vegetables, fish and meat. If you look for exotic fruits or special meat for cooking, than you are in the right place!
It could be a local custom-tips, as many people in Hannover like to go here frequently to meet people, drink a glas of vine after visiting the Fleemarket.
!Viva Mexico!
by Mirja about Sausalitos
This is a crazy place!!! It is loud and crowded, but still a great place to go on Friday nights. Especially if you are looking for a place to start with in the evening. You have all sorts of fresh mexican food (Burritos, Enchiladas, Tacos,....). The servings are huge. I once ordered a baked potatoe and I got a plate with two potatoe, chili on top and everything was covered with melted cheese. YUMMY!!! The Sausalitos is not a place to go for the first date. You'd be yelling at each other the whole time, since it is quite noisy. Be sure to be there at 11 p.m.! They start the Margarita Happy Hour, so a pitcher of strawberry-margarita costs EUR 7,50 then!!!! Casual - Especially on the weekend lots of people are dressed up, because they plan to go to a club later in the night.
Not only Gyros and Zaziki!
by Bigs about Kytaro
Styled in the typical greek style. There is also a nice beergarden at the back of the house.......
Inside it can get quite loud when it´s crowded...... Better reserve a table when coming after 8 pm.... it´s often crowded! It´s the Chicken Suflaki, the meat is so soft you even wouldn´t need teeth for it!!! It´s served with sliced potatoes...... For a starter you can fill your salad bowl from the selfcatering buffet! It´s all very fresh and yummy!
Town Hall
by Bigs
This is the place I show my guests at first. The town hall has two great possibilities to learn something about Hannover. First you can go up the town hall tower and have a look over the city and the Lake "Maschsee" nearby. I really like the views from there. When you are going down again you will find four tables in the huge hall inside which are showing Hannover in a modell. One model is from 16.. something, one before the second world war and one after...... The last one is a present look on Hannover. Most guests are shocked, when they see, that nearly all buildings in the city center were destroyed in WWII....
Palace of Welfen and Saxon Horse

1717 built, became the place of residence of the count Platen, "castle Monbrillant", to the north of the manor houses' avenue on the area of today's Guelph garden.
The castle was torn off 1857. The Welfenschloss resulted for Tramm. 1879 retracted the technical university, today's university, into the building. In front of the castle stands emblem of the country formed this for Lower Saxony, the Saxon horse, of Friedrich Wolf.
The garden of the old castle Monbrillant was a little copy of the Big Garden.
After its building for King Georg V. in the 19th century this castle has housed a central administration place more than one hundred years since now and is located in hugging Hanover's near the Royal Gardens.
