Bremen at a glance

There’s much more to Bremen, the Hanseatic city on the banks of the river Weser, than merely being the home of the Bremen Town Musicians from the Brothers Grimm fairytale. It’s a city that respects its traditions and is proud of its history, but it also moves with the times.

Discover must-see attractions such as the market square with the Weser Renaissance town hall and Roland statue (together a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2004), the bustling Weser promenade and the picture-postcard Schnoor quarter, and the museums and interactive worlds of discovery putting science at your fingertips. Bremen is the tenth-largest city in Germany, a European centre for aerospace, a city of science and home to the Überseestadt district, one of the largest urban development projects in Europe. Bremen – a destination full of surprises.
