Bus from HERCEG NOVI to HANOVER

Herceg Novi, with approximately 200 sunny days a year, is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Montenegro.

Located at the entrance to the Bay of Kotor and at the foot of Mount Orjen, Herceg Novi offers to tourists a rich monumental heritage, monasteries and churches, and numerous fortifications such as Španjola, Kanli Kula, Sat Kula and famous staircase, after which it takes its nickname “City of the stairs”.

Herceg Novi was founded as a fortress in 1382 by Bosnian King Stjepan Tvrtko I and was called Sveti Stefan or Castelnuovo. After the death of Tvrtko, Duke Sandalj Hranić of the Herzegovinian Kosačas acquired Castelnuovo. During his reign, Herceg Novi picked up trading salt, what bothered their neighbors from Dubrovnik, which in this part of Europe held a monopoly over salt trade in that time.

When Hranić died, his nephew, Herzog Stjepan Vukčić Kosača, inherited Castelnuovo. Under Stjepan, Castelnuovo expanded and thus became a city, renaming it to Herceg Novi.

The Turks conquered Herceg Novi in 1482, and ruled for 200 years, until 1687. In that period various nations and civilizations interspersed on its soil, leaving deep marks on the history, culture and overall development of the region.

Herceg Novi is known by a very rich cultural program in the summer months, which includes above all the traditional film and music festivals. Of course, the event are also organized during other months, which contributes to recognizable cultural life of the city.

The provincial capital Hanover of Lower Saxony is located on the River Leine and has a population of over 500,000. As an exibition center, Hanover has won national and international fame, as well-known trade fairs such as the Cebit Technology Fair take place here. It is also referred to as a "green city" because it is surrounded by green areas and thus offers ample opportunities for recreation in the town center Eilenriede.

Hanover is compact but not cramped; the shopping is elegant without showing off, and the dining excellent without being in any way stiff. Hanover has character, especially when you get to know it a little. There’s no doubt that everyone will soon find their favourite spot in the city, which might be one of the following:

 

The Hanover Congress Center: The Hanover Congress Center is one of the most interesting buildings in the Lower Saxony capital. It can be seen immediately due to its distinctive "Kuppeldach" and consists of the Kuppelsaal, Beethoven Hall and other rooms. The HCC is located at the Hanover Stadtpark and is the location for numerous major events.

The Leibnizhaus: The Leibnizhaus is a Renaissance citizen's house built in 1499 and it got its name by the philosopher Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. After its destruction in the Second World War, the building was finally rebuilt in the early 1980s. Today it is a guest house and is used for events.

The Lister Tower: The Lister Tower was built in the late 14th century and served as a waiting tower during its time. Today, the Freizeitheim is located there, together with a beer garden which lurks you in.

Gehry Tower: The Gehry Tower was built by the architect Frank O. Gehry and has an architectural peculiarity due to its slight twist. It is used as an office building after its opening in mid-2001 after one year of construction.

Telemax: The Telemax is a Radio Tower and with its height of 282 meters is also the highest tower of its kind in the state of Lower Saxony. From a viewing platform at an altitude of 185 meters, you can enjoy a wonderful panoramic view over Hanover.

Sculpture mile: The sculpture mile was built in the year 2000 and extends between the Lower Saxon Parliament and Herrenhäuser Garden. Here are eight extraordinary sculptures to admire.

Zoo Hannover: The Hanover Zoo is one of the most spectacular and best zoos in Europe. The zoo received the Park Scout Award for the fourth year running in 2009/10, placing it among the best zoos in Germany. The zoo consists of several theme areas: Sambesi, Meyers Farm, Gorilla-Mountain, Jungle-Palace, and Mullewapp. Some smaller areas are Australia, the wooded area for wolves, and the so-called swimming area with many seabirds.

The Herrenhausen Gardens: The Herrehausen Gardens are a large garden area consisting of the Welfengarten, the Großer Garten, the Berggarten and the Georgengarten. As a recreation area, it serves both the residents as well as tourists and guests in search for relaxation.

With its wide range of museums, Hanover is as popular with culture-lovers as it is with night owls, who like to party hard in the popular Linden district or around the Steintor. It’s a multi-faceted town that is much more exciting than its reputation would indicate.
