Hanover in the magic of winter and Christmas Christmas / Circus, Winter Variety Show, Christmas markets and Winter Zoo - Four unique, exceptional and self-evident reasons to travel to Hanover now! (FO

Hannover (ots) -

Roasted almonds, Christmas pastries, mulled wine, Christmas trees
and candles combine across many parts of Hanover to create that
unmistakable aroma between November 28 and December 22. A mediaeval
spirit prevails on the Christmas market in the historical village
right in the Old City.

Smiths and brush makers display their skilled crafts, as jugglers,
magicians and mystical creatures put on shows guaranteed to amaze. A
Scandinavian Christmas can be experienced on Ballhofplatz (Ballhof
Square). Tasty Finnish-style Flammlachs (blazed salmon) combines with
a hot cup of Glögi in the traditional Lap tents called "Kota", a
mulled wine made from berries with a magical blend of herbs. Nordic
homeliness is on show with crafts, reindeer and lamb pelts and many
other quality Finnish products on sale.

A magical atmosphere prevails in the Wishing Well Forest right in
front of the Historical Museum - the wishing well with its wishing
ring, which, according to legend, fulfils wishes once it has been
turned, is at the centre of the welcoming wood with its more than 50
fir trees.

Hanover Marketing and Tourism GmbH has put together a small tour
for you to immerse yourself in the city's Christmas markets:

GOP Winter Variety Show: Song Trang - When the moon is reflected
in the river

Mysticism, desire. Love of tradition. Modern dynamism. Small
villages. Huge metropolises. Modern-day Vietnam is pure fascination.
The Song Trang show puts the Vietnamese soul on the stage at the GOP
Theatre in the Orangery of the Herrenhäuser Gardens from November 24
to January 13. The rustling of the dewy grass of morning, waves
rippling in Halong Bay, a woman's voice whispering softly of desire -
on the other side the bustle of the city of Hanoi, crackling
scooters. These contradictions and immersion in a different culture
lie at the centre of the 15th Winter Variety Show. All 13 artistes
are from the Vietnam Circus Federation. They reveal their artistic
skills, with Vietnam's characteristic raw material - bamboo - playing
a major role. This fantastic show is framed by a blend of current pop
and traditional Vietnamese music.

Magical Winter Zoo in Hanover's Adventure Zoo

A winter wonderland right in the heart of Hanover! The theme
worlds of Meyers Hof and Mullewapp turn into a sparkling winter world
in Hanover's Adventure Zoo between November 23 and February 3 - an
all-round winter package of magic for the entire family and all those
seeking to end the working day in enjoyment. With its open-air
skating rink, toboggan runs, winter market with culinary delights,
arts and crafts, skating school, Santa Claus and ice disco, a visit
to Hanover's Adventure Zoo is fully in the spirit of winter.

Hanover Christmas Circus: Skilled acrobats, magicians and myths
from the Middle Kingdom

The Winter Circus has enjoyed huge popularity in Hanover for the
past two years, with a total audience to date of 50,000 watching the
top international programme in the Christmas season. This year the
Christmas Circus is putting on a programme by the Chinese National
Circus between December 20 and 31. The show marks 30 years exactly
since the famous circus came to Hanover for the first time. The top
artistes from the Middle Kingdom are marking this anniversary with a
special gala show. Oriental and fast-paced, familiar and joyful are
the watchwords as the more than 30 devotees of their craft present
their extraordinary light-as-a-feather skills in colourful robes for
Christmas. Apart from daring pyramids, brave balancing acts,
high-speed juggling, amusing clowning and incredible contortionism,
there are also playful fantasy figures and extravagant costumes to
lend the show a friendly face at the centre of the colourful display.
