Central Bremen has renewed its links with the River Weser in a way that has revitalised the city’s distinctive waterfront. The waterway, which transformed the Hanseatic city into a proud metropolitan centre, still echoes nautical rhythms and is a magnet for the entire city.

Just minutes from the city centre, Schlachte with its wealth of trendy bars, friendly cafes, international restaurants and outdoor seating for some 2,000 people gives almost two million visitors each year plenty to watch over.

The quayside is lined with vessels large and small, including a subtle pancake ship, the three-masted frigate Admiral Nelson and a replica cog ship, which typifies a Hanseatic vessel from the 13th and 14th centuries

The air of a seafaring port bursts from every corner of the busy but young seaport, which offers a remarkable range of leisurely yet informative attractions within easy reach of each other, from landscaping and pedestrian areas along miles of waterfront promenades, in generous areas of parkland and on the scenic River Geeste walking trail to close-up views of world beating harbours that flood your senses.

Visitors to the maritime city will find a number of entertaining experiences in close proximity, like the German Maritime Museum with its attractive museum harbour, the new Zoo by the Sea, the recent German Emigration Centre, a tour by Harbour Bus or the Lloyd Shipyard Visitor Centre in one of the world’s busiest ports.
