Germany
If you are in Hanover on a Saturday, visit the flea market in the old town by the bank of the river Leine. Here you can find everything from books, clothing, records and electronic devices (tv sets, radios, telephones) to furniture (partly antique), stamps or jewellery. The first stands open early in the morning and the last ones close in the afternoon about 3pm. By the way: The Hohes Ufer is the place where Hanover was founded in the 13th century. It is said that the town's name derives from an early German form of the expression Hohes Ufer.
On the street called Hohes Ufer by the river Leine. Take the tram to Clevertor.
Close to central station begins the Lister Meile, a homely shopping street. This mile-long pedestrian zone leads from the city centre to the Wilhelminian style quarter List. In the shops you can find the usual kind of stuff: clothing, books, fruits and vegetables. And there is even a store selling British food and candies (if you are homesick for English crisps and chocolate). In the Lister Meile (and in the area around) you can find lovely cafés and restaurants, where you can sit in or outside.
Underground stations: Hauptbahnhof, Lister Platz
