Tourist Attractions in Bremen

Bremen is one of the oldest cities in Germany. It was founded by Charlemagne in 787. From the 9th century onwards, it became an important religious centre, and later it became a free trade city. The surviving monuments of the Middle Ages are living testimonies of Bremen’s prosperity over the centuries. In the Market Square, in front of the statue of Roland, tourists are transported back to the 15th century, while the graceful forms of the Renaissance Town Hall make you truly admire the local architecture.

Sometimes it seems that modern Bremen is out of the usual flow of time. Travellers often get this feeling when walking through the ancient streets of European cities. In front of your eyes – century-old facades and paving stones from the time of the Dukes of Saxony, and just a few blocks away are quite modern shops and offices.
