The Royal Gardens of Herrenhausen – Baroque Splendour Meets International Diversity
The Royal Gardens in Hanover are among the most important Baroque gardens in Europe and at the same time a vibrant place for culture, nature, and social exchange. As part of the International Fireworks Competition, the Great Garden becomes a stage for teams from all over the world.
But beyond that, the Royal Gardens are a major sightseeing hotspot, impressing visitors with their elaborate design, symmetrical layouts, and historic architecture. A particular highlight is the Great Fountain, which, at over 80 metres high, is one of the tallest garden fountains in Europe and offers a spectacular water display.
