Bremen
Tradition and perspectives, culture and commerce, waterways and cycle routes - Bremen has a lot to offer.
MESSE BREMEN is located in the heart of Bremen’s city center, close to the historic old town and right next to the extensive Bürgerpark. There are therefore countless hotels in every price category around the exhibition grounds – and lots to experience! Here are our tips for a voyage of discovery.
Top attractions
The Böttcherstrasse
A street as an expressionist work of art: just below the market square, the merchant Ludwig Roselius, the inventor of decaffeinated coffee, created an architectural monument with Böttcherstraße. Most of the buildings along the 108-metre-long street were built in the 1920s and have been listed buildings since 1973.
The Bremen Ratskeller
A piece of Bremen to take away – or give as a gift! How about a fine wine from the traditional Bremen Ratskeller, which has been home to the finest wines from the 13 German wine-growing regions for six centuries?
The Town Musicians of Bremen
Donkey, dog, cat and rooster: every child knows the fairytale stars of the Bremen Town Musicians. Their statue stands on a corner of the town hall, directly in front of the window of Bremen’s council cellar master. And if you throw a coin into a hole in the ground a few meters away, you will be rewarded with a cheeky cock-a-doodle-doo. Or an Iah. Or…
The Bürgerpark
The people of Bremen really appreciate their 200-hectare oasis just behind the exhibition grounds. Joggers love the Finnbahn, families the numerous playgrounds, romantics the rowing boats and pleasure-seekers the countless views and vistas the park offers. It is the perfect place to let your mind wander and relax.
The town hall and the Roland
The over 600-year-old town hall with its Weser Renaissance façade and the Roland statue from the same period are Bremen’s greatest cultural treasures. The ensemble that characterizes the market square has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2004.
The Schlachte
If you take a stroll along the Weser promenade, you can reminisce about the days of the Hanseatic League or relax with a delicious drink and “people watch” – the Schlachte is the place to experience Bremen from its maritime side.
The Schnoor
Here the name says it all: In Bremen’s oldest quarter from the 15th and 16th centuries, the doll-like, charming houses are strung together like pearls on a “Schnoor”, or “string” in High German. A must for tourists!
The Universum® Bremen
If you want to stop real lightning, overcome gravity or outwit your own senses, Universum® Bremen is the place for you! The Bremen adventure and hands-on museum attracts visitors with around 300 exhibits on three exciting topics: Technology, Man, Nature.
