Roncalli Christmas Village at the main station

Against the backdrop of Hanover Central Station, the Roncalli Christmas Village invites you to enjoy a festive experience until December 30. Inspired by Lower Saxony’s half-timbered architecture, lovingly decorated huts create a fairytale atmosphere. Highlights include the historic Ferris wheel and light projections three times a day, which illuminate the station in a festive glow. Enjoy high-quality gastronomy, regional arts and crafts and nostalgic flair in the restaurant-café. A special experience is the virtual ride on the reindeer carriage. Christmas projections enchant the station façade three times a day.
