Hotels in Bremen

Bremen, home to the world famous Town Musicians, puts itself on the map as the pulsating, multifaceted heart of North West Germany.

1,200 years have woven a rich tapestry of Hanseatic heritage and cosmopolitan culture in Bremen. Strife for independence left an indelible mark on the city. The magnificent architecture that radiates from the distinct Weser Renaissance Rathaus and the graceful Roland statue in Market Square (UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2004), the city’s oldest living quarter at Schnoor, the exceptional structures in historic Böttcherstrasse and the imposing cathedral are etched in history. The delightful sculpture of the Bremen Town Musicians remains a defining monument for the Grimm Brothers’ celebrated fairy tale.

Just minutes from the city centre, Schlachte with its wealth of trendy bars, friendly cafes, international restaurants and outdoor seating for some 2,000 people gives almost two million visitors each year plenty to watch over. The quayside is lined with vessels large and small, including a subtle pancake ship, the three-masted frigate Admiral Nelson and a replica cog ship, which typifies a Hanseatic vessel from the 13th and 14th centuries. Some 60km away on the North Sea coast, Bremerhaven holds the key to Northern Germany.

Cutting edge technology brings the universe alive in the Universum Bremen, which exceeded all expectations since the spectacular new building opened in September 2000. Each day, the triple attraction on earth, man and cosmos welcomes around 1,300 visitors to 200 visuals, interactives, simulations and playful settings where learning goes hand in hand with having a good time.

Bremen is a stage set and it loves performers. The city resounds to music excellence with the world class German Chamber Philharmonic. Theatres in Bremen have built up a thriving reputation for adventurous productions, while the distinctive ‘Bremen style’ is nowhere more evident than the Theater am Goetheplatz. Whether it is the Bremen Musical Theatre, wildly comical drag shows or the appeal of the Bremen Theatre Ship, the theatre landscape offers something for every taste.
