Hannover Hostels

Hanover is a German city in the Lower Saxony region and is famous for being a hub for international trade fairs.

Hanover consists of 13 quarters and if you are looking for a Hanover hostel, there are several options. Mitte is the geographical heart of the city and includes the old city center with the most major attractions, so it's the most convenient area to look for a Hanover hostel. Vahrenwald-List is a quiet academic neighborhood with beautiful historical buildings and cute little shops. Nordstadt is a quirky neighborhood with a large student population and numerous nightlife spots. Herrenhausen is more remote but it's home to the stunning Herrenhausen Gardens and Hanover Castle and is well worth a visit, especially in the spring when the flowers start blossoming.

Hanover airport is not far from the city center and can be accessed by train. Hanover is also a major hub for long-distance trains (ICE); you can pretty much go anywhere from here. Getting around the city from your Hanover hostel is easy because there is a comprehensive public transport system.

While you are staying in a Hanover hostel, we recommend taking a walk through the old city center with its Gothic and Renaissance buildings. There is a pathway in the old city center marked by a red line on the pavement that will lead you to more than 30 attractions. Admire the modern architecture, such as the Gehry Tower by renowned architect Frank Gehry. Follow the sculpture trail on the shore of the River Leine and head to the Leibnizufer to see the famous Nana sculptures by Niki de Saint Phalle. Spend a sunny spring day walking around the Baroque Herrenhausen Gardens.
