St. Peter's Cathedral - Sandstrasse 10-12, Situated just at the back of Market Square and dominating the old town's skyline. Lots to see in this 11 century Cathedral that has been rebuilt a number of times since then. The corpses of workers who fell from the roof is a bizarre and unusual collection. There is also a museum connected with many preserved items found at the site and the remains of a Roman villa.
Kunsthalle - This extensive art collection is located at Der Kunstverein and showcases the best in French and German works. The artworks are mostly from the 19th and 20th century's. There are some old masters and the museum was put on the map recently with the recovery of artworks stolen in 1945.
Focke-Museum - Schwachhauser Heerstrasse 240.This museum is a delight and tells the story of Bremen from the height of being a maritime force, through the ages. Plenty of art, artefacts and a typical early dwelling are to be seen.
Rathaus - Located in the heart of the city at Marktplatz is the old town hall. Guarding the building are a sculpture of the town's musicians, a donkey, dog, cat, and cock who are always ready for the tourists photos. Grimms tales are evident here.

L'Orchidee - Bahnhofsplatz 11, Located high up in the Hotel zur Post, this is elegant dining at it's best and is known as one of the top city restaurants. Although the prices go with stylish dining. The service, original menu and sophisticated decor are to be kept as a treat for a special occasion.
Alte Glide - Ansgaritorstrasse 24, This dining experience will not break the bank and the 17th century venue is highly decorated with stucco gargoyles, sea creatures, etc. The vaulted cellar is a reminder of the past. Fish is the speciality here and it is bought in fresh, but there are many other interesting items on the menu.
Grashoff's Bistro - Situated in a central position at Contrescarpe 80, but only open for lunch as the local workers and shoppers rush here for a mixture of German food in French ambience. The food and service can not be faulted. Just ask the locals who repeatedly use the restaurant. |

Achims Beck Haus - Carl-Ronning-Strasse 1, This is a popular meeting place pre disco or show, they offer basic pub grub as well as a good selection of beverages.
Litfass - Ostertorsteinweg 22 . Boasting the longest bar in town, the barman is also known as the fittest. Open from early to late. This casual bar can get a bit wild especially if you've been there from 10am till it closes at 4am.
Romer - Fehrfeldstrasse 31. One of the largest dance floors in town. The lively DJs get the in crowd rocking till the early hours. $Euro cover with free drinks is bound to be popular.
Modernes - Neustadtwall 28. This is unusual as it's a movie house during the week and becomes a disco/live music venue at the weekend. The seats just to have to be cleared, but a good idea. |

Weserflohmarkt - This river front flea market is to be found at Schlactel and Weser promenade on Saturday and moves to Burgerweide on Sundays. You are bound to find a bargain among the hundreds of stalls.
Schnoor - The place to buy gifts in the shopping centre of town. A great choice of quality goods some locally produced by hand. Barenhaus sells bears in all shapes and sizes, and Rapunzel stocks all sorts of souvenirs.
Antikitaten B&M - Fedelhorn 19. For salvaged goods from old ships, you might discover a bargain, but they are wise to the value and I doubt it. Still it's an interesting shop to browse. |
