Your tour will start in the legendary Teestübchen tea room, transporting you back to a more elegant, refined time, replete with tea and cake. A short walk past the imposing Market Church and the brick gothic Old Town Hall will take you to the ‘Belly of Hanover’, the Market Hall. After enjoying the tastes and smells of the varied local stall holders in the Market Hall, your tour will continue to a select trio of merchants in the heart of Alstadt. Before heading to Brauhaus Ernst August, Hannover’s popular gastro brew hall, where you will experience traditional, local cuisine, within a vibrant atmosphere.

Uptaste

What is Uptaste? We’re something like a travel agency business (although we don’t sell flights or hotels). Instead, we specialise in finding the right place to eat, wherever and whenever you are, using location intelligence combined with expert and community curation. Uptaste destinations will rarely be restaurants; they’ll be shops, they’ll be street traders, they’ll be local markets, or some other easy-to-miss but hard-to-forget place.
