This railway museum is a captivating site that promises to take you through 175 years of Dutch railway history. It features a lifelike station, engaging exhibitions, thrilling attractions, and a theatre, all conveniently accessible by train. The restored 19th-century Maliebaan station serves as the entrance to a fascinating world of trains. If you visit the museum with kids, there's an outdoor playground, featuring the Jumbo Express, a small train, which provides a delightful journey through the Railway Museum's hidden corners. Also, The Fire Trial, an award-winning 4D simulation allows participants to take the reins of a train and experience the thrill of driving it themselves.

This Jewish grave yard was turned into a museum in 2007. With its over 1,000 tombs, the oldest dating back to the 1500's, this is one of the largest Jewish cemeteries in Europe.

This museum is a goldmine for all those who are interested in the history of both the state and the city: while the permanent exhibition '750 years of Hannover' display the changes down the centuries, the 'History of the City' section traces back the development from a medieval town to a sizable city. The third department informs about the rural life between the 17th and the 20th century while temporary exhibitions feature different themes and numerous events.

South of Hannover, nature and culture abound in and around the largely beech-covered slopes of the Deister reaching up to 405 metres above sea level, and it is filled with birdsong, rustling leaves, and delightful hiking tracks. The hillside paths offer many glimpses of the Calenberger Land stretching out into the distance below, so this is a paradise for hikers, walkers and cyclists.
