'''Hannover''' is the capital of the [[Lower SaxonyGermany|German]] (Niedersachsen) in ''Bundesland'' [[GermanyLower Saxony]].
It's a good place for hitchhiking, because two major motorways are crossing each other here: In east-west-direction, there is the [[A2 (Germany)|A2]] going from the [[Ruhr Area]] to [[Berlin]], and in north-south-direction, the [[A7 (Germany)|A7]] connecting [[Hamburg]] with the south of [[Germany]]. On both motorways, there is a big service area, that are easily reachable by tram.<br />
It's also a nice place to stay, for a day or two, with a beautiful old town center, many parks, lakes and forests, and a lot of pubs and nightclubs.
Public transport is very good and tickets are checked very rarely. For the airport, check [[Hannover-Langenhagen Airport]].
== Hitching Hitchhiking out ==
=== West towards [[Dortmund]], [[Amsterdam]] {{Autobahn|2}} ===
Take a tram to ''Königsworther Platz''. There is a wide road called ''Bremer Damm'', which leads to the motorway. There is only little space to pull over and most of the traffic is local, but at least during rush hours this works fine. At other times, it's probably faster to take the tram to ''Garbsen'', see below.
=== North towards [[Hamburg]], [[Bremen]] or South towards [[Göttingen]], [[Kassel]], [[Frankfurt am Main|Frankfurt]] {{Autobahn|7}} ===
Take the tram #6 direction ''Messe/Ost'' and get off at ''Kronsberg''. Turn left into ''Wülferoder Straße''. After ~100 m, the road will head right, but there will be a little path straight on. Follow this path for ca. 1 km, about 30 minutes, it leads directly to the service area ''Wülferode'' on the [[A7 (Germany)|A7]].
The tram ticket is EUR 2,10 30 . === North towards [[Hamburg]], [[Bremen]] {{Autobahn|7}} ===For this option you haven't to walk so much and you are get there very easy by tram. Get with the tram to "Alter Flughafen" from there follow the road north. There are plenty of spots a long the street where cars could stop easily and even a petrol station where you could ask directly. I and my girlfriend stayed with a sign HH (Hamburg) just 5 minutes and got a ride to the petrol station "Allertal" at the A7. From there it is super easy to go to Hamburg.
== Hitching In ==
=== Coming via [[A2 (Germany)|A2]] ===
Trams in both options cost EUR 2,70 (2 zones), but if you don't mind buying a ticket for only 1 zone, it's EUR 2,1030.* ''Option 1:'' Get off at ''Hannover-Herrenhausen''. There is a tram station close to the motorway, where you can get into the town center in 15 minutes* ''Option 2:'' Get off at ''Hannover/Langenhagen''. Here you can find a tram station directly next to the ramp towards the motorway. Drivers can drop you out directly in front of the tram station, where they also find traffic lights, a small petrol station and the possibility to turn around towards the motorway. Detour for the driver: Maybe 500m. Here tram #1 brings you all the way to the ''Hauptbahnhof'' in ~ 10 minutes.
=== Coming via [[A7 (Germany)|A7]] ===
You can ask the driver, if he wants to take little detour over the [[A37 (Germany)|A37]]. This will be 12 km more and he will lose about 10 minutes. If he doesn't want that, tell him to drop you at the service area ''Wülferode''. There is a little street leading to a tram station, but you will have to walk for 30 minutes.
== Sleep Nomadwiki & Trashwiki ==There are two hostels in Hannover: An [http://www.hostelhannover.de independent] one for EUR 15/night and one of [http://www.hihostels.com/ hostelling international] for EUR 25/night.{{nomadwiki}}
