In spite of – or perhaps because of – its 1,200 years of history, it is a particularly vibrant place. The town hall and Roland statue together form a UNESCO World Heritage site. St. Peter’s Cathedral, the State Parliament, the gabled houses and the Schütting guildhall complete the ensemble. This architectural ensemble, 110 metres in length, dates back to the 1920s and is the most famous street in Bremen. Formerly the lane in which the coopers (Böttcher in German) lived and worked, Böttcherstrasse is today renowned for its museums, its shops and its brick-built art deco facades that link the market square and the Weser river. Tram: 2,3 Stop: Obernstrasse Tram: 2,3,4,6,8 Bus: 24,25 Stop: Domsheide Schlachte Embankment A3-C5 Maritime Mile C4 K2 There is a fantastic choice of restaurants, bars and cafés along the river Weser in the city centre. Festivals and boat trips appeal to visitors of all ages. In summer, the beer gardens overlooking the water are a popular spot. People also enjoy getting together here in the run-up to Christmas when the promenade is transformed by dazzling blue lights and pretty wooden stalls for the Schlachte-Zauber Christmas market. Discover Bremen’s maritime heritage in Vegesack. The waterfront, exactly one nautical mile or 1,852m in length, offers a host of attractions: the tall ship Deutschland and other historical vessels at the museum harbour, old captains’ houses, the interactive Spicarium exhibition and rare plants at the municipal gardens. The district also boasts great shops, art, concerts, hotels and restaurants.

The area is renowned for its cafés, restaurants, goldsmiths and pretty little arts and crafts shops, all of which are open on Sundays. Überseestadt C2-3 Bremen’s former docklands are being transformed into a vibrant quarter for the 21st century, with a great selection of cafés, bars and restaurants. Lots to see and do, new events all the time, modern architecture and the charm of historical warehouse buildings: this port district in the midst of change combines its maritime past with a pioneering present.

More than 290 specialist shops on ‘the mile’ (the street that starts as Ostertorsteinweg and becomes Vor dem Steintor) sell almost anything you could want to buy. Just a few minutes’ walk from the market square you can already feel yourself immersed in the Viertel’s unique vibe. Stop at one of the many cafés or bars, admire the late 19th century architecture and watch the world go by. Farmhouses in a city the size of Bremen? Absolutely, but only along the Blockland dykes. Whether you choose to cycle, walk, go inline skating or even hire a canoe, this area offers outstanding natural beauty and peace and quiet in abundance. Traditional inns and friendly farm shops beckon from the wayside to round off the perfect day out for families and active holidaymakers.

Historical The first rays of morning sun fall upon the Town Musicians statue and bathe the ornate facades of the buildings in a warm glow as a new day begins on Bremen’s market square – the focal point of the city. This is where the heart of Bremen beats. The magnificent town hall attests to the city’s Hanseatic heritage and has been a proud bearer of UNESCO World Heritage status since 2004. In front of it, the statue of Roland with sword and shield has stood watch over the people of Bremen for more than six hundred years. In the picturesque Schnoor quarter pretty little houses from the 15th and 16th century are lined up one after the other like pearls on a string (Schnur in German), offering a journey back to long-forgotten times. Schnoor quarter Böttcherstrasse 4 Surprising A journey to outer space, a walk through a whirling tornado or an expedition to the tropical jungle of Borneo – a trip to Bremen can be all this and more.

Formerly a district of shipyards filled with vessels of all sizes, Bremen’s Überseestadt is now becoming a hub for art and culture. Jazz rhythms can be heard emanating from old warehouses during the music festival and people can be seen enjoying cocktails in stylish bars. Sailors are still a common sight in the north of the city. If you stroll along the Maritime Mile in Vegesack, you’ll discover legacies of past times as well as modern shipbuilding. Head-first into the night and party until the early hours!

At the Christmas market, the aroma of incense wafts over from the spice stalls, while sparkling golden angels sing carols just a few steps away. There’s something new to experience every day and every night. Sixdays Schlachte-Zauber Christmas market 5 Upper Hall of the town hall Bremen Town Hall and the Roland statue – UNESCO World Heritage The town hall and the Roland statue on the market square are on the list of UNESCO World Heritage sites. The importance of the town hall is demonstrated by the distinctive style of its architecture, known as Weser Renaissance, which was prominent in north Germany in the late Renaissance period. Bremen’s Roland is one of the oldest and most impressive of the Roland statues, which were erected in Germany during the Middle Ages as symbols of liberty and trading rights. Together, the town hall and the Roland statue bear testimony to the history of the Free City Republic of Bremen, from the 9th century through to the present day.
