Germany’s cities ranked: Hannover among top ten most affordable places for weekend getaways
In a city-breaks index compiled by industry experts
at TRAVELCIRCUS, Hannover made it into the top ten. Under this ranking, 82
German cities are compared for weekend getaways, especially highlighting
top-value destinations. Hannover ranks number 6.
The full spectrum of typical city-trip expenditures
was analysed: overnight stay in a mid-range hotel; snacks and refreshments;
evening meal; entertainment and cultural attractions. Costs of travel to and
from the destination were also looked at, as were sightseeing tours.
Hannover’s main plus point was the cheapness of
getting there and back. And no wonder, since it’s Lower Saxony’s chief
transportation hub, scoring highly on multimodal-transport options including a
good public-transport network, cycle-friendly infrastructure, car sharing, and
on-demand bus services called ‘sprinti’ provided by Region Hannover authority.
Whether you’re departing from an urban or rural location, these combined
options will get you there sustainably, safely and inexpensively.
Also highly impressive was the affordability of
city tours, with the travel specialists praising Hannover for its 29 free
sightseeing attractions. No-charge admission to various museums (Fridays) makes
the arts accessible to all here.
Compared with other German cities, Hannover also
offers a wide range of good-value accommodation options for all
budgets, from hostels to holiday apartments. You can also enjoy events and
eating out at modest prices.
The HannoverCard (available at Tourist
Information) entitles holders to use local buses, trams and trains, and visit
museums and theatres for less.
Family-friendly attractions and plenty of outdoor
opportunities make Hannover region perfect for short trips with the whole
family.
