ON TOUR!
GET TO KNOW BREMEN BY BUS AND TRAM
BREMEN – SHORT AND SWEET:
“MOIN!” – THAT’S BREMEN-SPEAK FOR “HI!”
YOU’LL KNOW BREMEN WELL AFTER OUR THREE TOURS
Bremen – 1200 years of history. Shipping and space travel, beer and
wine. Stroll through the medieval “Schnoor” and the world famous
Böttcherstrasse. Or have a long look at our
UNESCO World Heritage Site: the Weser
Renaissance Style Town Hall with its
patron and guardian, Roland. And when
the wind is just right, you’ll get a whiff of
roasting coffee, or chocolate, or malt. That’s
because Hanseatic Bremen is home to so many coffee roasters, chocolate makers and beer brewers.
With the BSAG you can fully experience
our multi-faceted city.
Hop on! We’ll take you around!

EXPERIENCE BREM
About Us:
In Bremen one takes
the tram. And we are the tram in
Bremen – the BSAG. The Bremen
Straßenbahn AG. Our history goes back
to the very beginning of public transportation in Bremen when carriages
were drawn by horses. Today our
busses and trams are among the most
modern in Europe. We see to it that you
have good connections – long waits are
unheard of. During the day, most lines run every 10 minutes – easy to remember.
And at night, the NightLine is there for you. This way, you get where you want to go
fast and in comfort. BSAG it’s all OK.
