Store your luggage around Hannover with Bounce 

Most travelers tend to associate Germany in terms of Oktoberfest, revelry, or Berlin nightclubs, but there is a surprisingly varied cultural landscape of Germany dating back centuries. Hanover is one of the best travel destinations to experience this.

Centrally located just west of Berlin in Lower Saxony, Hannover is an excellent stop on any trip through Germany. Like many German cities, there is a fascinating history in Hannover to unpack, with landmarks and architectural wonders to appreciate. 

There are plenty of modern amenities, with contemporary art and culture being a centerpiece of Hanover's appeal. The food scene is solid, there’s plenty of shopping to be had, and you won’t be short of options for museums and art galleries.

Here is everything you need to know for your trip to Hannover:

If you find yourself getting into town from Hannover Airport or the train station with a few hours to kill, you’ll want to find a place to store the bags while you explore. Train station lockers aren’t as readily available as a dedicated luggage storage service like Bounce. Bounce strategically places its Hannover luggage storage facilities near the best landmarks and attractions, so there's always a convenient location nearby when you need it. 

Bounce also has premium features like dedicated 24/7 customer support, the BounceShield guarantee, and an intuitive mobile app for booking on the go. Each storage facility goes through a rigorous vetting process to ensure quality so you can travel with the peace of mind you need to enjoy Hannover to the fullest.

There’s, of course, the picturesque Altstadt (or Old Town), with medieval buildings and half-timbered houses that have been painstakingly preserved throughout the years. Some have even been restored from the destruction during World War II. In Old Town, you’ll find the iconic Marktkirche and the Herrenhausen Gardens. It’s a wonderful little town center filled with baroque elegance and quaint little shops. 

For younger travelers and those interested in things that have happened recently, Hannover is a modern city with plenty of contemporary culture. The selection of modern art galleries and museums (especially the Kunstverein) is truly impressive. You’ll find works from every medium throughout the galleries in Hannover’s city center, and you’ll find plenty of street art. For those looking for something a little more stately, the Sprengel Museum is the most renowned in Hannover and is known internationally for its vast collection of works from legendary artists. 

For foodies and trendy travelers, there’s a delightful mix of old and new in Hannover. You’ll find hip cafes and cocktail bars just down the street from traditional beer halls and German restaurants. There are also plenty of international flavors to be had, which reflects Hannover’s diverse population and local culture. 

If you want to get outside for a bit, you can head out to the Eilenriede City Forest, which is a heavily wooded urban park where you can walk, bike, run, picnic, or do just about anything you’d want in this lush little oasis in the middle of Hannover. 

Here are a few ideas for what to do in Hannover: 

Located within Old Town, these opulent public gardens are one of the most popular attractions in Hannover, and for good reason. There are several sections with distinct features that you can explore. The Great Garden, the Berggarten, the Georgengarten, and the Welfengarten all feature greenhouses, classical designs, and exotic plants. You’ll be able to experience the opulence of Hannover’s baroque past while enjoying a hit of peace from the bustling surroundings of the Altstadt. 

This is an outdoor garden, so there won’t be a bag policy, but the terrain will be difficult to manage for roller bags. Make it easier on yourself and leave the luggage with Bounce.

The Sprengel Museum is one of Germany's most famous museums and a premier destination in Hannover. The Sprengel Museum is home to an extensive collection of modern and contemporary art, with works by renowned artists such as Picasso. The museum's rotating programming features exhibitions from various artistic movements and traveling collections. You’ll find everything from a contemporary showcase for current artists to comprehensive collections, so check the museum’s schedule to see what’s on during your visit.

There is no explicitly stated bag policy for entry to the Sprengel Museum, but this is a historic building, so you want to lug the bags throughout the museum, and there aren't storage lockers onsite. 

This neo-Gothic masterpiece is located just outside the city center, but it's absolutely worth the short trip. You can tour the opulent halls of the castle’s interior, including the regal throne room. The cavernous Queen’s Library is a must-see, with amazing stained-glass windows, incredible wood carvings, expansive book collections, and artwork lining the walls. The outside is even more impressive, with Hogwarts-esque architecture, beautiful gardens, and views of the River Leine.

Bags aren't banned at Marienburg Castle, but the halls are narrow, and the luggage will be unwieldy during your visit. It’s best to find a place to store it before heading to the castle.

Many European museums and historic landmarks will not offer luggage lockers or any baggage storage onsite. They also might not have strict bag policies in place. Either way, it’s less enjoyable to drag your luggage around a museum. We place our luggage storage facilities near museums and landmarks, so it’s easy to find a convenient place to leave the bags while you explore a museum or sightsee.

Hannover’s main retail stretch runs from the Kröpcke Clock Tower to the Hauptbahnhof Train Station in the city center. The Bahnhofstraße is lined with high-end designer shops and standard operators like H&M, Esprit, and an Apple Store. At the end of the street is the Ernst-August-Galerie, an upscale indoor shopping mall with more than 100 luxury outlets.  

Hannover Market Hall (Hannover Markthalle)

Markets are always a great way to truly experience a city, and this covered market is absolutely steeped in history. Originally established in 1892, the Markthalle is a great place to find not only traditional German goods and street food but also imports and international vendors. 

This underground shopping center runs right below the Bahnhofstraße in the city center, but it's far from just a mall. You’ll find locally owned boutiques along with a few larger brand names. It’s an easy stop if you forgot to pack something or the weather isn’t cooperating and you need to buy something in a pinch. 

Dragging your bulky luggage around to local shops for an entire day simply won’t do. Find a Bounce luggage storage location to drop the bags off before heading out on your shopping spree. 

Located in a historic building along the Platz der Göttinger Sieben (for newcomers, that’s prime real estate), this restaurant features upscale modern cuisine that takes inspiration from German and continental European flavors. The menu rotates heavily based on seasonal ingredients and the whims of the chef. The only things you can expect are high quality, surprising flavors, and epic wine-pairing from their Sommeliers. Along with their amazing food, the ambiance and dining experience have earned Michelin recognition. Making a reservation is highly advisable. 

Hannover may not be the largest city in Germany, but it’s certainly one of the most diverse, and the food scene certainly reflects this. You may be tempted to subsist entirely on Wienerschnitzel and encased meats during your trip to Germany, but checking out a restaurant like Al-dar is a great way to experience new flavors. This Syrian fine-dining spot is one of the most renowned restaurants in Hannover and is complete with traditional decor and a relaxed ambiance with tea service. For vegans and vegetarians, there’s no better place to eat dinner in Hannover, as their meze bites and chickpea dishes bring the flavor without the meat. Carnivores will love the shisha flavors in their broiled meat skewers.

If you want to experience all the traditional flavors of this part of Germany but don’t want to be beaten over the head with them at traditional beer halls, head to this sleek diner. You’ll find contemporary updates on traditional German dishes in a refined but approachable setting. This is also a great place to take a break from all that beer, as the cocktail menu from their Gondola Bar is exceptional. 

It’s far from ideal to bring your heavy bags into a nice restaurant, and even worse if you lug it around all night. It’s better to book luggage storage with Bounce before heading out.

Bounce is easily the best luggage storage Hannover has to offer, but it doesn’t end there. Bounce has made useful travel guides for nearby destinations like Bremen, Leipzig, and Bad Oyenhausen, which are only a short drive or quick train ride away from Hannover. Bounce has convenient locations in each of these cities, so you’ll easily find a reliable and secure place to store your luggage. 

Just remember, if you’re traveling to Germany, you can always rely on Bounce to look after your belongings while you explore the beautiful country.
