Medieval History and Charming Architecture
With 1,200 years of history, Bremen is a lovely city located in northwest Germany. Once part of the Hanseatic League, it's hosted one of the world’s oldest fairground festivals, the Freimarkt, since 1066!
Most of historical buildings can be found around the central Marktplatz. Dominated by the town hall with its Bremen Ratskeller, a council wine cellar with a collection of over 600 German wines, the Marktplatz features the statues of Roland, the city’s legendary protector, and the Town Musicians, animals from the Grimm Brothers’ tales.
From there, you can stroll towards the Schnoor, the city’s oldest quarter with narrow, cobbled streets, half-timbered houses and supposedly the world’s smallest hotel with just one room! One of the city’s major attractions, Böttcherstrasse, a street famous for its expressionist architecture, is also close by.
Walk down the Schlachte, which used to be a harbor and now is an important riverside boulevard with plenty of bars and pubs, where you can sit down and enjoy the beer from the local Beck’s Brewery.
Bremen Airport is just a short tram ride from the Old Town and with the help of Booking.com, you can find many hotels near the airport or in central Bremen.
