Certainly you shouldn’t neglect visiting at least some of the touristic attractions the city has to offer: Bremen can reminisce on 1200 years of history. This city is steeped in tradition and fairy-tales; at the same time they’re very open- minded.

The Bremer Dom, the (Bremen’s oldest district) and the Böttcherstraße, with its unusual brick architecture, each possesses its own unique historical charm. The undisputed top attraction and Bremen’s pride and joy: the 600 year-old Rathaus (town hall) and the Roland Statue. The preferential status of this ensemble was again underscored in 2004 when it gained UNESCO World Heritage status.

Between the Rathaus and the Lieb­frauen­kirche, you’ll discover a bronze statue depicting the Bremer Stadtmusikanten (Bremen Town Musicians) designed by Gerhard Marcks. The Brother Grimm fairy-tale is of worldwide renown and the statue serves as the Hanseatic city’s landmark.

You’ll find plenty of cafés and eateries where you can take a break and just observe the goings-on of Bremen’s day-to-day street life. It’s also definitely worthwhile to check out the many little shops and boutiques nestled throughout the Viertel!

Are you drawn to the water? In that case, we recommend an excursion to the Schlachte (the Weserpromenade). A mere 10 minutes by foot from town center, it’s perfect for sauntering, boat rides or simply watching the shipping activities from the shore. What’s more, beer gardens galore with a maritime flair invite you to bide awhile.
