Start in front of the station, where a statue of Ernst August still points somewhere east, and follow a route that traces Hannover’s knack for reinvention. This self guided walking tour with audio and text on your phone explores centuries of civic grit and quiet flair. You'll pass opera and war ruins, royal echoes and neon rebellion, all layered into a city that edits its history with clarity, not sentiment. It's a walk through architecture that argues, memorials that refuse repair, and a river that shrugs through every regime. Begin when you’re ready to see where the horse is pointing. Probably.
