District
City Center
Mitte is the heart of Hanover: the brick-Gothic Market Church and the half-timbered Old Town, the central Kröpcke square, the opera house, the Ernst-August-Galerie mall by the main station and the start of the Red Thread city trail. This is where the pulse of the Leine city beats.
