Bremen<\/strong> had long been on my list of German cities to visit as it\u2019s just a few hours\u2019 drive from my home in Amsterdam. With a long weekend approaching, I finally decided to make the trip \u2013 and I\u2019m so glad I did! There\u2019s something undeniably charming about Bremen. This northern German city, on the shores of the Weser River, is home to a trove of history, impressive monuments, quirky legends and streets right out of a fairy-tale. The main sights can be visited in a day but I\u2019m happy I stayed longer to experience its quiet beauty and wonderful ambiance. The compact nature of the historic city centre makes it perfect to explore on foot. If you\u2019re planning a stroll around the Altstadt (Old Town), follow my self-guided walking route below that covers the top things to see in Bremen.<\/p>\n

Bremen is the second-largest city in northern Germany, after Hamburg<\/a>, and one of the historic Hanseatic cities of northern Europe. For the most part of its existence, Bremen was an independent city at the centre of the League of Hanseatic Cities, a 13th-century northern European network of merchant cities. This network included cities such as Hamburg, L\u00fcbeck<\/a> and Stralsund<\/a> in northern Germany as well as Gdansk<\/a> (Poland), Bruges<\/a> (Belgium) and Riga<\/a> (Latvia). Bremen flourished during this time \u2013 many of the historic buildings that can be seen today were built during this period. It\u2019s this historic legacy, beautiful riverside setting and vibrant atmosphere that make Bremen absolutely worth a visit.<\/p>\n

My Bremen sightseeing walking route below starts at St. Peter\u2019s Cathedral<\/strong> (St. Petri\u2019s Dom) and ends at the lively Schlachter<\/strong> (Weser River promenade) where you can end your day with a well-deserved drink served with beautiful river views. This route can be done in a day, though I recommend two days if you\u2019d like to visit the attractions suggested below. Along the way, look out for the intriguing bronze statues scattered across the city \u2013 the famous ones include The Bremen Town Musicians, Shepherd with Pigs and Brunnen Beim Bade. Each of these statues has its own story or legend to tell.<\/p>\n
