A fascinating cultural hub, Bremen is the second-largest city in Northern Germany. Perched on the banks of the River Weser in Lower Saxony, Bremen is a brilliant destination for a lively weekend break. Accommodation options abound, with everything from elegant B&Bs to hip design hotels. Our Gurus list of the best places to stay in Bremen highlights a selection of top spots, chosen for their stand-out location, style and amenities.
An independent city within the jurisdiction of the Holy Roman Empire for much of its history, Bremen was also a major power in the Hanseatic League. Strategically positioned, the city aimed to dominate trade between the Baltic and the North Sea. Wealthy merchants built beautiful residences along the riverbank and in the old town, and today’s on-foot explorers will be treated to architectural delights aplenty. Begin in the marketplace of the Altstadt, where you’ll find the town hall, the 13th-century St Peter’s Cathedral, and a series of imposing sculptures. Amble along the narrow surrounding streets to admire striking buildings, many of which now house cafés, independent shops and eateries. Guided walking tours are a terrific way to delve into the character of the city.
Catch a performance at the Bremer Geschichtenhaus, take the whole family to the Universum Science Centre, or tour the art collections of the Kunsthalle Bremen and the Focke Museum. Brewery tours are another highlight, as are scenic strolls along the harbourfront promenade, lined with lively restaurants and bars. One of the best places to stay in Bremen boasts its own riverside bar, perfect for sundowners on warm summer evenings.
