Herrenhäuser Gärten

Good gardens but 10 Euros for the ticket is way too much. The complex looks great, but is fairly repetitive so might become boring after a while. The exposition in the palace itself is purely symbolic and takes maybe 10-15 mins. Overall resembles Schlosspark Charlottenburg in Berlin, but more manicured and boring, so less appealing for regular visits. And also the latter is free, contrary to this one. The staff members vary from nice and helpful to grumpy and changing their expressions at the moment they see a foreign face (the lady selling souvenirs was exactly like this). And I'll repeat it, maybe someone should steal less from the city budget and make it free or at least somehow cheaper.

The famous Herrenhäuser Gärten are a great example of a classic garden in the French style. It was preserved in part due to the neglect by the kings of England after the electors of Hanover had ascended to the British thrown. Features include the great fontaine and as a more recent addition a grotto designed by Niki de Saint Phalle (1930-2002). The castle was rebuilt after being destroyed in the war. Another more recent addition is the Jacobsen Pavilion designed by Arne Jacobsen (1902-1971).

Great baroque park, beautifully designed and very well maintained. The ticket includes the grand palace garden (Großer Garten) as well as the inside palace museum and botanical garden (Berggarten) just opposite side north of the palace. They're all worth visiting, so better take at least 3 hours time for them.

I visited the Herrenhausen Gardens in Hanover with my husband one evening, and it was a really lovely experience. The main garden is big and very well kept, with neat paths, fountains, and beautiful flowers. There’s also a nice botanical garden with many different plants and greenhouses. We especially liked the colorful grotto and the peaceful atmosphere. It’s a great place to relax, take a walk, and enjoy nature.

Wonderful baroque gardens of world renown, or stroll the English landscape gardens nearby or the wonder hill garden, the former vegetable garden, now turned botanical garden. Just won a competition

It was a beautiful place to spend some relaxed time. So many different and beautiful plants. We saw people bring a big breakfast and find spot to enjoy ♥️☀️ Definitely worth it!!

It was simply beautiful. A great place to either take a walk or go on a date or meet with friends or also alone. I was there for a concert but found the place breathtaking. A place to visit for anyone who happens to visit hannover.

The Garden is really beautiful, clean , nice and well managed. But the entry price is quite high. Doesn’t work 8€ per entry price.

This was a huge place. Definitely recommend a whole day here. We tried to see as much as possible in an afternoon. Walking around is a bit brutal in the heat, but we survived. The museum inside had an interesting special exhibit about nudity.

GREAT! This place is really cool! Don't expect rollercoasters, etc. It is a very relaxing place to just talk to friends and family! You can watch one of the largest fountains in Europe (i think it is the largest). It's just awesome!

What is commonly referred to as the Herrenhäuser Gärten is really a collection of several gardens. The one you are most likely to encounter first is the Georgengarten, a large park-like area with several walking paths and large meadows where students read, children play, families picnic etc. There is also a pretty pavillion here, on a tiny island in a tiny lake. And then there is the Großer Garten, an English-style baroque garden with arranged flower beds, little hide-outs, fountains and many other fantastic things to discover. Entrance to here costs extra, but is well worth it for a stroll around, especially in the summer, when sometimes in the evening the international fireworking championships are being held here. The other two gardens are not quite as popular and you can find a lot more info about them on Wikipedia.

A Year ago we had the pleasure to come here and to see a real baroque-Garden and a great Theatre, so it combines the last 4-hundred years. From Statues, modelled so fine and delicious, from fountains up to the beautiful statues of Niki de Saint Phalle. In the first moment You will be a little surprised, but then You get it the difference between the beautiful old-fashioned figures and those funny, filled up with life and colours is not as great as You might have thought..
