Hannover
With busy railways and highways connecting to the rest of Europe, this German city also connects to the future. As the host of annual trade fairs, including Hannover Messe, you'll spot the next innovation trends while surveying the current landscapes. The city reflects Hannover's knack for presentation, with carefully-manicured Herrenhäuser Gardens, stately Town Hall and Altstadt landmarks. From Marienburg Castle to the Maschseefest's festivities, Hannover always puts its best foot forward.
