What a fascinating place this was! The New Town Hall in Hannover, Germany is quite an impressive place both outside and in. I was staying in Hannover anyway and decided to pop down to the New Town Hall after watching the Tom Scott video on its quirky and unique elevator. On the way I enjoyed the streets and some of the buildings of this lovely city and once I'd gone inside the Town Hall, well, it was certainly impressive!
Join me on this trip and I'll show you all the sights and sounds plus a full-length video of the actual trip in the elevator and I was quite priveleged on the day to be able to have it all to myself. I'll tell you how to get there, how much it costs, when it's open and what you can see on the way (and how to see it!). A bit of a departure for me with this video but I've had a few requests for me to film some of the places I see when I'm off on my travels. I hope a few of you can come along with me and please let me know if you enjoy this style of video. I may make some more!
Thanks as always guys for watching and supporting the channel. It is very much appreciated.
Cheers for now.
Mark

So lucky to have the place to yourself. Makes for a completely different experience.👍

@LetsMakeaTrip Месяц назад

It does Simon and I was able to make a more natural video I think. Definitely recommend the place 👍

@Timstravels01 Месяц назад

What a fabulous building and what an elevator. I absolutely loved this.

@LetsMakeaTrip Месяц назад

Cheers mate, it’s interesting isn’t it. Bit of a departure for me video-wise but I enjoyed it for what it was. Looked a great city too 👍

@poshgoth Месяц назад

I absolutely adore Germany!

@ghuntman77773 Месяц назад

We love city break holidays visiting German cities including Hannover - so interesting

@sheilam4525 Месяц назад

Beautiful place, Mark and what a view ftom the top! 😍

@simonwhitlock9189 Месяц назад

Nice looking town and a fascinating lift and got to experience without crowds of people. Thank you.

@LetsMakeaTrip Месяц назад

Cheers Simon, I was really excited to do it. Glad no-one was with me tbh, made it much more enjoyable to explore on my own 👍

@ElizabethKimber Месяц назад

I love Hannover! My family are from here and I was only here less than a week ago. Such a great experience going on the curved dome lift.

@slowlydrowninginirrelevance Месяц назад

Top stuff Mark, I could spend months going around the historical buildings and sites of Germany, fascinating country and so cheap to get around, Hannover definitely worth a longer visit.

@LetsMakeaTrip Месяц назад

Definitely worth a longer visit I agree. 👍

@farrahw7804 Месяц назад

You were so lucky to have the place to yourself it's so nice to have a place to yourself and enjoy it more without other people getting in your way It is a very interesting and enjoyable video to watch thank you again Mark

@LetsMakeaTrip Месяц назад

Cheers mate, I was lucky to have it to myself. Thought it would be more popular tbh and I was glad I got there early! Definitely recommend it if you’re in the city 👍

@godders7964 Месяц назад

Excellent video, Mark. Man builds, man destroys, man rebuilds, hopefully.... At least we get to see some of the original artistry.

@LetsMakeaTrip Месяц назад

Yes very true. Thanks for the comment mate 😊👍

@Forcefield23 Месяц назад

Ah I'm going to Boston soon and the freedom trail is first on my list!

@LetsMakeaTrip Месяц назад

It’s definitively worth doing. Lots of historic stuff in Boston 👍

@andywillis2650 Месяц назад

Great video as usual Mark, like a previous comment, great to have the place to yourself ! :)

@LetsMakeaTrip Месяц назад

Cheers Andy, yep I really enjoyed it. OK it’s not my usual type of thing but thought it was worth filming and sharing. It’s quirky, that’s for sure.

@baseballfan99 Месяц назад

Like most people I have passed through Hanover on the train when travelling between Berlin and Amsterdam. I visited the Hartz Mountains on a school trip back,in 1993 and did travel on one of the steam railways you mentioned. Hanover looks a nice rebuilt city and certainly the view from the new town hall,looked great and for a low price. I always try and find a viewing point if the price is right when visiting any city, This week I went up relatively new 120 Fenchurch Street in London which gives fantastic views of the City and it’s free.

@LetsMakeaTrip Месяц назад

Oh I might try that 120 Fenchurch St next time I’m in London - especially if it’s free! I’m the same, always on the lookout for a view point in the city. 👍

@Eunos Месяц назад

That lift is my ultimate nightmare.. Dont really have a head for heights so being able to look down would freak me out.. None the less it does look fascinating.. Great vid. :)

@LetsMakeaTrip Месяц назад

Interesting that. If it’d been an external life I would’ve felt the same but because it was inside it didn’t really bother me that much 👍

@daveatlantix Месяц назад

Boston has the Freedom Trail - still a great way to see the city.

@LetsMakeaTrip Месяц назад

That’s the one. Yes I really enjoyed that - a great way to spend some time looking around the city AND free. I think I did most of it ending up at some monument on the top of a hill iirc? Great city Boston, I’ll definitely be back one day, I need to see the green monster!

@newpersonatuni Месяц назад

I'll have to try this, looks good

@dominikschmalstieg2912 Месяц назад

For the plaque at 3:50 - in short, they started building the church in 1347 on the site of an early romanesque chapel, the tower was built in 1717. (I guess they assume, everybody understands the bombing was related to WWII due to the date.) Since 1952 the ruins are a memorial for victims of war and violence. And for the elevator, Tom Scott concluded his video by: for a video about an elevator ride, that was a lot of steps. :D

@LetsMakeaTrip Месяц назад

Yes watching the Tom Scott vid inspired me to do this. I wish I had a few of his views! 😂 They we’re doing some work in the church inside and there’s also a statue in there which is in the video (though I forgot to mention it). An interesting place Hannover for sure 👍

@sandiandgregh Месяц назад

What a magnificent building! It reminded me a little of Belfast City Hall. So great to have it all to yourself. Loved the elevator and the curved staircase at the top. So cool.

@JohnnyHooverTravels Месяц назад

How cool. Not just the elevator but the city and the whole of that town hall. Thanks for sharing it 👍

@LetsMakeaTrip Месяц назад

Cheers mate! Really interesting I thought and worth filming for memories if nothing else! I had a great time 😊👍

@robertalan3214 Месяц назад

Thanks Mark, unique indeed and what stunning views over Hannover, great weather to, fantastic 👍

@LetsMakeaTrip Месяц назад

Cheers Robert, I really enjoyed it. Definitely worth a visit 👍

@Diana-andre2018 Месяц назад

Interesting video again Mark, Hannover looked nice with some pedestrian areas and I thought having ‘red lines’ to help tourists to see the major attractions a very good idea. Very impressive town hall which certainly does have a quirky and unique elevator. Great scenery from the top with lovely views. 😊

@LetsMakeaTrip Месяц назад

Thanks Diana. Not my usual type of video this tbh but I enjoyed it thoroughly and felt it worth sharing. Thanks for the comment 😊

@enricomonti156 Месяц назад

As a fluent German-speaker (my maternal grandmother hails from Güthersloh, Rheinland Pfalz Germany) it is great that you visited a place which is still related to the British Crown. Next time you come to Malta, speaking of elevators, I will take you to the panoramic lift from the Upper Barrakka Gardens in Valletta to the Valletta Waterfront and Lascaris Quay (return fare €1). Anyways seems that you've had a lovely time. Keep up with the good content. I am planning to return to Shrewsbury asap

@LetsMakeaTrip Месяц назад

Cheers Enrico, yes I’ll definitely take you up on that if I return to Malta (hope so). I’m so glad I took some time to explore Hannover and the elevator was the icing on the cake. 👍

@johncrwarner Месяц назад

It is interesting to see Hannover as I only really know it from changing trains there and going to meetings. My town, Bielefeld, has an Altes Rathaus (late medieval and now used as a theatre), Neues Rathaus (built a few years before Hannover's) and a Modernes Rathaus (built in the 1970s and where the staff work - sort of like a Civic Centre) It seems to have been a common pattern for the industrial towns of Northern Germany.

@LetsMakeaTrip Месяц назад

Thanks John, I’m certainly no expert when it comes to these but I’d heard of the elevator from watching Tom Scott’s video so had to give it a go. The other buildings en route and the town hall itself just made it all the more interesting. I’d definitely go back.

@paulgibsonphotography Месяц назад

Great Video Mark

@LetsMakeaTrip Месяц назад

Cheers Paul and thanks for watching 😊

@stewartrivers4208 Месяц назад

I think there is an « elevator » the climbs the Gateway Arch in St Louis.

@kevanhubbard9673 Месяц назад

Not sure if lifts count as public transport but the Tyne Tunnel is said to have some interesting ones just installed rather like funicular railways.Although I haven't been to try them yet as they have only just opened.

@LetsMakeaTrip Месяц назад

I’m up in Newcastle next month Kevan so I’ll look into this. Cheers 😊👍

@smogontheline Месяц назад

Great video, Mark. Germany has some beautiful architecture, and the views looked amazing. I'm hoping to return to Germany someday. Follow the red line and end up under a vehicle 😂 Great stuff. Andy.

@LetsMakeaTrip Месяц назад

Cheers Andy, yep ireally liked Hannover and it’s good that they do one of these trails (even if you have to avoid the odd parked car along the way!😂).

@shanewaterman4125 Месяц назад

Mark, now you're going to be doing a circumnavigation of Europe's elevators! If you do, make sure you do the glass elevator on the building which houses the Italian unknown soldier in Rome. Right on Piazza Venetia at the end of the Fori Imperiali. Stunning 360 views of Rome - including Sophia Loren's apartment!

@LetsMakeaTrip Месяц назад

I don’t think there’s much call for me to do many more tbh 😂 but I had a good time and the point really was to share it with anyone who was interested so I hope it’s enjoyed just for that. Cheers mate 😊

@shanewaterman4125 Месяц назад

@@LetsMakeaTrip based on views/likes? If I may make an observation... you missed the key word out of the title: Germany. Imagine how many more searches are done on Germany than Hannover...? Just a thought.... Personally, I think it's much more interesting - the trip getting there is one thing, but things you can do and see when you get there make it a journey and story combined.

Doesn't the elevator in the St Louis arch also curve like this? That one is a bit smaller but goes a lot higher.

Hi Mark, have you checked out the suspension railway in Dresden ? Or the gateway arch in St Louis?

A paternoster’s not really the same thing though is it.

@AndreiTupolev Месяц назад

I was right! Great Elevator Rides of the World! 🛗 You'll have to try one of those Paternoster things, i think they're called, which never stop and you have to leap on and off as it goes past

@LetsMakeaTrip Месяц назад

You were! There is (or certainly was) a paternoster at Leicester Uni I think i5’s still there and you can go over the top. I may try it one day though I’m not sure there’s much demand for my trips on great elevator rides of the world yet tbh! 😂
