Winter needs anticipation: 8 Christmas season tips for the Hannover region (FOTO)

Hannover (ots) - The Hannover Region offers many events during the Advent and
Christmas season: sometimes loud, sometimes quiet, sometimes contemplative,
sometimes acrobatic - but all of them unique and providing unforgettable
moments. The Hannover Marketing und Tourismus GmbH (HMTG) has compiled eight
Christmas season tips for a visit to the Hannover Region.

Tip 1: the Christmas markets 2019

Since late November, the Christmas markets have been drawing people outside with
the enticing smell of the holiday season to celebrate the anticipation of
Christmas Day. In Hannover's Old Town, the Wunschbrunnenwald (wishing well
forest) exudes its magical atmosphere. In the historic village, craftsmen such
as silkers and brushmakers are eager to show visitors their wares. The Finnish
Christmas village is traditionally located on Ballhofplatz, where visitors can
enjoy delicious flame-grilled salmon and hot glögi. Other Christmas markets can
be found in front of the main railway station, on the Lister Meile and in many
different neighbourhoods. Tip: The Christmas markets also have a lot to offer in
the Hannover Region and the historic 9 towns in Lower Saxony. 25 November - 22
December, Old Town of Hannover

Tip 2: city tour of Hannover amid the Christmas lights

The festively illuminated city centre and old town can be explored, accompanied
by the sweet sounds of Christmas music all around and surrounded by the warm
glow of the Christmas season. Fridays, 29 November - 20 December

Tip 3: GOP winter variety show: "Impulse"

The audience experiences the energetic, powerful encounter of rhythm, body art
and dance! "Impulse" provides an unforgettable experience of music, visuals and
movement. The scenery in the Orangery at the Herrenhäuser Gardens is also
spectacular, with the unusual scenarios of projection and sound sure to surprise
visitors. 23 November 2019 - 12 January 2020, Herrenhäuser Gardens

Tip 4: GOP children's Christmas musical: Königs Sohn und Gauklers Tochter (The
King's Son and the Gleeman's Daughter)

The young prince is simply too bored at court. He dreams of adventures and of
finally getting to know regular folk. Only his best mate, the court jester, can
help. He takes the prince to the circus, which is currently performing in town.
There, the prince sees the wild girl, who shows her skills on the trapeze. A
wonderful musical fairy tale! 2 November - 5 January 2020, GOP Georgspalast

Tip 5: winter zoo: winter wonderland at Hannover Adventure Zoo

From the end of November, the Meyers Hof farmstead will be transformed into a
sparkling winter wonderland with an ice-skating rink, a winter market, Santa
Claus, a fairy-tale Advent calendar, merry-go-rounds, an ice disco and many
special events. 29 November 2019 - 4 February 2020, Hannover Adventure Zoo

Tip 6: Hansel and Gretel

The famous fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm makes for a great opera: a full-size
orchestra, well-known children's songs and the famous evening prayer make the
performance so popular. 15 November - 25 December 2019, Staatsoper Hannover

Tip 7: Christmas Circus Hannover

The third ever Christmas Circus offers visitors a "Grand Prix of Artists" and
features an outstanding programme: the participating artists, who have received
awards at festivals from Monte-Carlo to Moscow, have to overcome a very special
hurdle. The audience decides who is the best of the best, with acts taking place
between the tent canopy and the circus ring. 17 - 29 December 2019,
Schützenplatz Hannover

Tip 8: Holiday on Ice

Magical stage sets, impressive costumes, spectacular choreographies and a
passionate love story - that's what Holiday on Ice's new show is all about. The
new production "Supernova" opens its doors to a mysterious world with impressive
scenes and a spectacular ice show. 12 - 15 December 2019, TUI Arena
