Bremen is a city in northern Germany, population 500,000+.
Bremen was once a member of the medieval Hanseatic League and is still one of the most important cities in northern Germany. Together with the city of Bremerhaven on the North Sea it forms Germany's smallest state. Bremen has more than 1200 years of history, and was, for most of its existence, an independent city-state.
Bremen is a rather long and narrow city, lined along both sides of the river Weser. Along the north-west/south-east axis it stretches about 10 km, but across only 2 km. The entire city is located on flat plains.
Bremen airport (IATA: BRE) (ICAO: EDDW) is located in the south-west of the town and offers flights to most bigger German cities and some European destinations. It's easily accessible by public transport (tram line 6, about 10 minutes from the city center) and by car. Major carriers are OLT, Ryanair and Lufthansa.
Several cafes and restaurants line the "Schlachte" along the Weser river while another popular area is the "Viertel" east of the Kunsthalle. Many traditional dishes from Bremen and Northern Germany are very satiable. This region is famous for Grünkohl (kale), fish (smoked eel, herring, smelt in March), an old sailor´s meal called Labskaus (lobscouse) consisting of mashed potatoes, corned beef, onions, fried egg a beetroot or chick ragout (very fine) as well as red fruit jelly or Butterkuchen (cake with yeast and topped with lots of butter, sugar and almonds). You can find some fish restaurants in Böttcherstrasse. "Knigge" is the name of a traditional coffee house in Bremen.
The world-wide known Beck's Beer is brewed in Bremen. Guided brewery tours in English and German are offered. Costs 11.90 Euros/person, also you have to book it in advance.
The "Ratskeller" is a wine cellar and restaurant with a famous collection of wines and the oldest wines in Germany. There are many bars, pubs and cafes in Bremen: the Schlachte along the Weser and the Viertel, a young and lively quarter. If you like beer and pretzels, try the "Schüttinger" brewery house (next to Böttcherstrasse) where several types of beer are brewed and served directly.
