bremen-germany-1
Bremen is a German city that is in the state of the same name and that has about 600,000 inhabitants, although with those of the entire urban area it is almost one million. It is divided into five districts, which in turn give rise to 21 neighborhoods , so there is a lot to see and of different styles. It borders on all its parts with Lower Saxony, and is crossed by the river Weser.

It is a city in which you will not find good temperatures practically at any time of the year, since in winter they are around zero degrees with a lot of snowfall, while in summer it is difficult to exceed 20ºC. Bremen is totally industrial-centric, and its port is one of the most important commercial ports in the whole country, specifically the second.

Places of interest

You can’t stop wandering around the city, especially in the historic center. In practically any corner of any neighborhood you will find a very interesting building or monument, so you can spend at least 3 days seeing a lot of things that time will need. Among the essential visits are the Bremen Cathedral , the statue of Rolando, the statue of the trotamusicians or the port.

If you like shopping, in Bremen you will find a true paradise, especially for modest things or crafts. There is a market that is spectacular, especially at Christmas, when it becomes one of the most important in the country. Shopping centers, street stalls or shops, in any of these places you will find a great variety of souvenirs to take with you. I recommend you buy some local product and some piece of crafts, they are true wonders.
