Hannover: Attractions and more...
Hannover is primarily a commercial city, but it has quite a few interesting structures—some still standing from its illustrious past and others now restored. The main square, Markplatz, is flanked by two of the oldest structures in the city: the Market Church, a Gothic-styled building made out of bricks, and the Rathaus, the town hall, which displays some of the memorabilia from the old city that survived the destruction.
The Great Garden of Herrenhausen with its manicured lawns and ornate décor is at its best in summer. It has one of the highest fountains in Europe and a theatre setting where plays and concerts are held during summer.
The Sprengel Museum houses the work of the masters of modern art; the Wilhelm Busch Museum displays the work of the artist and also has a well-stocked library. The Buckeberg Castle is still the residence of the royal family, but the castle chapel and some rooms are open for public viewing.
