A VERY WARM WELCOME TO BREMEN

‘Well, I never knew that!’ is a phrase often uttered by people visiting the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen for the first time. This fairytale location is known for its history and traditions, as well as for its cosmo-politan outlook. But Bremen is also the eleventh-largest city in Germany, a European centre for aero-space, a city of science and home to the Übersee-stadt district, one of the largest urban development projects in Europe. Bremen is a destination full of surprises – there’s always more to discover.

This mini guide is the perfect introduction to Bremen’s main attractions. But the best way to appreciate the essence of the city is to get out and about and explore it for yourself. A 20-minute walk is all it takes to cover the historical city centre. In Bremen, everything is just around the corner. Stroll downriver along the Schlachte Embankment, or upriver into the bohemian Viertel district. Go with the flow, find hidden treasures along the way, take in an exhibition, enjoy a coffee in one of the cosy cafés or dance till dawn. A visit to Bremen, our city of contrasts, is always an experience to remember. Discover it for yourself!
