And is Bremen worth visiting (sehenswert)? Absolutely yes!
This is due to the people here, the fresh sea breeze, and the almost familial character, traditions, and eventful history of Bremen.
These highlights in the heart of the Hanseatic city founded in the 8th century are actually a must on any sightseeing tour:
UNESCO World Heritage Town Hall & Roland
The Bremen Town Musicians
Böttcherstraße
Schnoor
But hopefully the classics won't be the only impressions you take away from a visit, because this small federal state on the Weser has much more to offer, for example:
Maritime charm with strolling miles, harbors, beaches, the walkable Weser weir with lock, shipping, and shipbuilding
Art & culture that need not fear comparison
Extensive green spaces such as the Rhododendron Park and botanica with around 2,500 wild and cultivated species from all over the world
Culinary specialties - hearty or sweet - and locally brewed beer
Ischa Freimaak – Bremer Freimarkt, Germany's oldest folk festival, and Bremen Carnival
Aerospace companies like Airbus, OHB System AG, and ZARM with its unique drop tower
After Borgward and Hanomag-Henschel: the largest Mercedes-Benz plant in the Daimler group
