Brême

The Essential

Recommended

Today renowned for its beer (Beck's) and once popularised by the tales of the Grimm brothers, Bremen is a major industrial European port which has managed to retain a pleasant appearance thanks to its varied architectural styles. The banks of the River Weser are ideal for a stroll, and the old fishermen's quarter, the Schnoor, with its bistros, workshops and restaurants, has a bustling atmosphere. In summer, Bremen holds a prestigious classical music festival.
