Tour the Towns 

Exploring the Towns of Niedersachsen

Every town in Niedersachsen has a wealth of stories waiting to be told.

Bustling metropolis or small and cosy? Half-timbered gems, Bauhaus architecture, Brick Gothic or Weser Renaissance? From the vibrant state capital of Hanover to charming half-timbered towns like Celle and maritime flair in Stade, Niedersachsen offers a blend of urban dynamism and historical splendour. Each of Niedersachsen’s towns boasts its own character and unique charm. And they’re all worth seeing.
