Royal Gardens of Herrenhausen in Hannover are made up of several different gardens: Large Garden, Berggarden, Georgengarden and Welfengarden. We visited the Large Garden which has always been one of the most distinguished baroque formal gardens of Europe. It was created by Princess Sophia of Hannover from 1696 to 1714.

The park is surrounded by a fence only from one side, while three other sides of the park are surrounded by a moat with water. The park has several fountains, one of which has a 80-meter tall stream of water. Besides, international fireworks festival is annually held in the Large Garden.
