The Market Place (Marktplatz) in Hannover is lined by a wonderful selection of 15th century red brick buildings. Although most had to be rebuilt after heavy bombing of the old town in World War 2, the reconstructions are exact and capture the incredibly architecture of the originals. The market place is a hub of activities and a place to find cafes and bars. Also on the market place is the wonderful Gothic Marktkirche of St. Georg and St. Jacobus, and the Old Town Hall (Rathaus) which are both worth a visit.
