The personal work-life-balance plays an important role in deciding where to make your (new) home: Hannover combines big city flair with a unique proximity to nature. With green areas making up 11.36% of the city's surface area, the capital of Lower Saxony is one of the greenest cities in Germany. The Royal Gardens of Herrenhausen, Eilenriede Forest, Deister Ridge as well as Maschsee and Steinhude lakes are ideal places to relax and pursue leisure activities.

Hannover is also an important centre of the arts and culture and many unique exhibits and spectacular exhibitions can be seen here. Museums such as the internationally renowned Sprengel Museum or the Kestner Society, as well as a wide range of other smaller museums, provide an excellent environment in which to experience culture and history close up. The opera and theatre sections of Hannover State Theatre are considered among the best in Germany.

Experience nature while enjoying all the advantages of a big city: This is what Hannover is all about and the key to the high quality of life enjoyed here.
