Gifhorn-Facts
    - Good to know

    Walking time 

    Gifhorn has 999 km of streets and paths. If you wanted to walk them all, assuming you walked four kilometers an hour, eight hours a day, it would take you 31 days. And, when you need to get home there are 119 bus and tram stops, and subway and railway stations in Gifhorn.

    Brightness 

    Assuming that every kilometer of street in Gifhorn has an average of 33 street lamps with 50W of power, then Gifhorn has more than 32,962 street lamps, which use 1.6 megawatts of electricity per hour. Over a number of years, that adds up to the amount of energy produced by a volcanic eruption.

    Local recreation 

    With a total area of 0.2 square kilometers, public green spaces and parks make up 0.2% of Gifhorn’s total area, 105 square kilometers. That means each of Gifhorn’s 42,993 residents has an average of 5.3 square meters – less than most large Zoo animals!

    Nightlife 

    When people in Gifhorn want to go out, they are spoilt for choice; the city has more than 16 cafés, restaurants, bars, ice-cream parlors, beer gardens, cinemas, nightclubs and theatres. If they were all lined up along a single street, it would need to be at least 96 m long.

    Tourism 

    More than 69 sights and monuments, and far more than 342 retailers, mean there is plenty of sightseeing to do in Gifhorn. Feeling tired? After a hard day visiting all the cultural attractions in the city, shopping or a night at the theatre, Gifhorn offers more than 26 hotels, youth hostels and camp sites.
