Welcome …

The Best of Bremen

… to the fairytale city of Bremen!

There are so many different sides

to the city: you can enjoy a coffee

against the historical backdrop of

the market square, stroll through the

narrow lanes of the Schnoor quarter,

discovering something new around

every corner, or acquaint yourself

with curious local customs such as

the ice wager.

For those who prefer something a

little more cutting-edge, Bremen puts

science at your fingertips: during a

visit to the Science Center at Univer-

sum Bremen, for example, or on a

guided tour themed on space travel.

Modern architecture, meanwhile, is

an ever-present feature of our mini-

bus tour of the Überseestadt district.

The river Weser plays an important

role in Bremen. Relax and unwind on

a boat trip on its waters or delve into

the fascinating history of Bremen’s

docks. You might like to visit Ger-

many’s oldest man-made harbour

in Vegesack or explore the new dock-

lands in Bremen’s ever-evolving

Überseestadt district.

What would Bremen be without its

festivals and funfairs? The summer

weekends are jam-packed with all

kinds of open-air festivals and au-

tumn brings plenty of fairground fun

at the Freimarkt. Get into the festive

mood at the enchanting Christmas

market or broaden your horizons at

Bremen’s museums. There is always

something going on in Bremen.

Come and see for yourself!

We look forward to your visit!

Market square C4

The market square is the focal point of Bremen. 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 and the

Schütting guildhall complete the ensemble.

Tram: 2,3

Stop: Obernstrasse

Böttcherstrasse C4

This architectural ensemble, 110 metres in length, dates

back to the 1920s and is the most famous street in Bre-

men. 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: 2,3,4,5,6,8 Bus: 24,25

Stop: Domsheide

Schlachte Embankment A3-C5

There is a fantastic choice of restaurants, bars and cafés

along the river Weser in the city centre. Festivals, boat trips,

plays and concerts appeal to visitors of all ages. The beer

gardens overlooking the water are especially popular in

summer. 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.

Tram: 1,2,3 Bus: 25,26,27,63 Stop: Am Brill

Maritime Mile K2

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. Vegesack also boasts great shops,

art exhibitions, concerts, hotels and restaurants.

Schnoor quarter C5

Bremen’s oldest district, the Schnoor quarter, is a maze

of lanes lined with narrow, timber-framed houses from

the 15th and 16th century set close together like pearls

on a string ( Schnur in German). The area is renowned for

its cafés, restaurants, goldsmiths and pretty little arts and

crafts shops, all of which are open on Sundays.

The Viertel (‘quarter’) E3

The Viertel is just a short walk from the city centre and is

the most colourful and bohemian area of Bremen. Popular

for kitsch entertainment and the arts, theatres and muse-

ums, it offers a cosmopolitan flair and diverse, offbeat

nightlife. There are lots of bars, restaurants and pubs

and no closing time, so you can easily party till dawn.

Getting your bearings

Blockland D1-F1

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.

Bus: 28

Stop: Kuhgrabenweg

To make it even easier for you to

find your particular destination, our

city map has a reference grid. You

can find the grid reference for any

attraction to the right of its name:

for example C4

for the Bremen Town Musicians.

Where applicable, the reference

applies to meeting or departure

points.

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. At the flower market, stallholders

creatively display their colourful pots and floral works of art,

while opposite the restaurant owners set tables for their first

visitors. This is where the heart of Bremen beats. The magnifi-

cent 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.

Ahoy there! It’s lunchtime and the boats along the Schlachte

Embankment offer a hearty welcome. You can enjoy life to

the full here, looking out over the glistening waters of the

river from under the shade of the trees. And along this popu-

lar promenade at the old Hanseatic docks, chefs at the many

restaurants delight their guests with fresh fish, exotic dishes

and local specialities.

The boats on the Weser set out on journeys near and far.

They head downriver, towards Überseestadt. Formerly a

district of shipyards filled with vessels of all sizes, it is now

becoming a hub for art and culture. Jazz rhythms can be

heard emanating from old warehouses during the music

festival and stylish bars serve cocktails with exotic names

like Singapore Sling and Sea Breeze. In the north of the city,

sailors can still be seen today. If you stroll along the Maritime

Mile in Vegesack, you’ll discover legacies of past times as well

as modern shipbuilding. You will hear stories of seafaring and

restless spirits, of new beginnings and hope, and of what life

was like at sea.

Just a stone’s throw from here, the art deco treasures of

Böttcherstrasse hark back to the days of ocean voyagers, the

coopers ( Böttcher in German) who gave the street its name,

the life of artist Paula Modersohn-Becker and many other

fascinating chapters in Bremen’s history. Right next to Bött-

cherstrasse, in the picturesque Schnoor quarter, there is even

more to discover. 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.

Orbiting the Earth in a space shuttle, flying to the moon,

walking through a whirling tornado or going on an expedition

to the tropical jungle of Borneo – a trip to Bremen can be

all this and more. Sit and tremble on the earthquake sofa at

Universum Bremen or journey around the world in 80 minutes

at the Ethnological Museum. Bremen’s ‘worlds of discovery’

are places to inspire you. They will awaken your spirit of

discovery and your thirst for adventure and they educate

and entertain in equal measure: find out about the world

we live in and how it works, how it used to work, how it

could work and what we should change. Learning can be

so much fun!

Head-first into the night and party until the early hours!

Barely has the sun disappeared below the horizon and a

new life emerges – full of excitement, glittering lights, music

and pulsating rhythms. At Germany’s biggest six-day race,

daredevil cyclists fly round the velodrome at lightning speed –

and whoever is crowned champion is considered a winner in

more ways than one.

Or perhaps you’d rather go to the theatre or the concert

just around the corner ... great emotions move the audience

to tears, the tunes of the grand orchestra pull at the heart-

strings. Bremen certainly lives up to its musical reputation.

Drums beating out samba rhythms in February. Shakespeare

in the Park making the summer all the more magical. At the

Christmas market, the aroma of incense wafts over from the

spice stalls, while golden angels sing carols just a few steps

away and boats at the harbour twinkle with festive illumina-

tions. Every day brings a new experience. Another adventure.

More amazement.

At the EADS Astrium, you’ll reach new heights! Find out

what life is like in space – how do astronauts live, eat and

sleep? Here at the laboratory in Bremen, engineers are

working on cutting-edge technology for space travel. Through

the windows of the ‘clean room’, your eyes will immediately

catch sight of the huge structures that are part of the upper

stage of the Ariane 5 rocket. At the EADS Astrium, you’ll get

an authentic insight into space station construction as well

as the chance to look around the ISS Columbus module that

was built in Bremen.
