Herrenhausen

A sprawling, diverse district, Herrenhausen-Stöcken is dominated by the vast, 17th-century Herrenhausen Gardens and palace, with a small museum and an orangery that hosts concerts. Next to the gardens is the Sea Life aquarium. Other green spaces include Stöcken Cemetery, with its castlelike main gate, and Hinüberscher Garden, with a nearby monastery. Elegant 19th-century residential buildings dot the area.
