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]]. == 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.It helps a lot to use a sign saying "A2 - WEST". Try to get a ride at least to ''Garbsen'', just outside of '''Hannover.''' There is a huge service area.=== East towards [[Berlin]] or West towards [[Dortmund]], [[Amsterdam]] {{Autobahn|2}} ===From the city center (''Kröpke'') take the tram #U4 to ''Garbsen'' (the last station).

From the central station, the ticket is EUR 2,90 and it will take about 30 to 40 minutes. There is a lot of traffic, you won't have to wait long.

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.
