How The Month Feels
February gives Hannover a muted weekday rhythm, with Welfenschloss and the city museums taking the lead over long outdoor plans. Heiligers Brunnen feels like a quick stop between rain breaks, not a lingering square.
What To Lock In Early
Book Niedersächsisches Landesmuseum, Museum August Kestner, and WOK - World of Kitchen first. Leave the timing of Welfenschloss and Heiligers Brunnen open, then slot them around the weather.
How to do it

Book time for Niedersächsisches Landesmuseum and Museum August Kestner first, then build the rest of the day around them.
