Introducing Hanover

German comedians – yes, they do exist – like to dismiss Hanover as ‘the Autobahn exit between Göttingen and Walsrode’. However, the capital of Lower Saxony is really nowhere near that grim. While it’s famous for hosting trade fairs, particularly the huge CEBIT computer show in March, it also boasts acres of greenery in the Versailles-like Herrenhäuser Gärten.
