Take a royal carriage ride

Select Language

Kutschfahrt

Since 2017 you can take a ride in a horse-drawn carriage through the Georgengarten again.

Kutschfahrt

Especially when the weather is fine, Hanover's royal garden opposite the university is a popular local recreation destination in the middle of the city. On the large lawns between shady bushes and trees, families sit with barbecues and picnic baskets, a few students kick football, others jog or sunbathe, inline skaters and cyclists roll along the asphalt paths through the park.

Sunday excursion in the fine English way

On sunny weekends, visitors also like to be driven through the well-kept Georgengarten, named after the English Guelph King George IV of Hanover, just like the high rulers once did. After the original operator ceased operation in 2015, a successor was found in 2017.
