10 Things to do in Bremen That You Shouldn't Miss
The second most populous town in North Germany, Bremen brings the high-tech, science and space industries together beneath a truly metropolitan backdrop. In a city where innovation, beauty and sophistication meet, it's impossible not to feel the life force. In this 1,200-year-old Hanseatic city, visit the Schlachte Promenade on the River Weser, the full-sized Columbus Space Module of the International Space Station and the Universum Science Center. Oh, and "Hanseatic" refers to an alliance of trading cities in the 13th-17th centuries. But you probably knew that.

The old town hall, the Roland statue, churches, the Schnorr quarter and the Modersohn Becker museum, all things one should enjoy slowly while indulging yourself with chocolate from Bremen (Hachez or Feodora).

I visited this place on Saturday morning and except flea market there were not too many visitors so I could take my time walking along the river, taking pictures and enjoying fresh air smelling after water which I love so much. It was one of the highlits of my stay in Bremen.

Excellent science museum with interactive experiments. Great for kids of all ages. We spent an afternoon on the cheap evening tickets, but really needed the double time to see and try everything.

I am finding it hard to write this review if I am honest, as it's not something that is enjoyable to visit as such. However as we were driving from Lubeck to Bremen I thought we should go, as the chance may not occur again. It was very thought provoking and more upsetting than I had bargained for, then we just couldn't believe the actual size of it. I find the fact that it has been turned in to a museum fantastic, as it tells personal stories of those forced to work on the building. The size of the structure is overwhelming and literally right on the edge of a town. We paid a returnable deposit to get the self guided audio tour, which was very good. The tour takes you both inside and out, showing you the part that has been repaired to use as storage and the bit that still remains bomb damaged, then a walk round its perimeter. The entrance is a little difficult to find, both the road to get in to park, then again with the actual entrance. You have to go back outside the car park, past the memorial and round the outer perimeter to get back in. The plan to build something so immense is unbelievable really, but then its purpose and undertaking of the actual building of it, very sad, but I have to say worth a visit.

On the Western side of the Town Hall, you will find The Bremen Town Musicians, a bronze statue of a donkey, a dog, a cat and a rooster, one on top of each other. Behind this symbol of Bremen, there is a lovely, popular fairy-tale by the Grimm Brothers, according to which, these four animals befriended on their way to Bremen, where they found a better life. There is also a legend related to this statue, saying that if you rub the front legs of the donkey, you may get some of the good luck.
