How The Month Feels
March gives Hannover a museum-first rhythm, with WOK - World of Kitchen and Museum August Kestner fitting neatly around rainy spells. Welfenschloss and Heiligers Brunnen still belong in the plan, but they work as short stops between indoor visits.
What To Lock In Early
Reserve timed entry for the Niedersächsisches Landesmuseum and Museum August Kestner if your dates include a weekend. Leave the exact order of Welfenschloss, Waterloosäule, and WOK - World of Kitchen open so you can shift around rain.
