Unique panoramic view over Hanover: take the arched lift to the dome of the New Town Hall
Experience a special highlight in Hanover: the world's only arched lift takes you up to the 97.73 metre high dome of the New Town Hall and offers a spectacular view over the city. The arched lift has been travelling along the domed tower since 1913 and tilts 17 degrees during the one-minute journey to reach the offset viewing platform. Particularly fascinating: a window in the roof shows the course of the journey, while a transparent floor window provides a thrill.
Breathtaking views as far as the Harz Mountains
An impressive panoramic view of Hanover, the Maschsee and the Eilenriede awaits you on the 90 metre high viewing platform. On a clear day, you can even see as far as the Deister and the peaks of the Harz mountains. You shouldn't miss out on this unforgettable experience!
