Top 10 Free Things to do in Bremen, State of Bremen
The second most populous town in North Germany, Bremen brings the high-tech, science and space industries together beneath a truly metropolitan backdrop. In a city where innovation, beauty and sophistication meet, it's impossible not to feel the life force. In this 1,200-year-old Hanseatic city, visit the Schlachte Promenade on the River Weser, the full-sized Columbus Space Module of the International Space Station and the Universum Science Center. Oh, and "Hanseatic" refers to an alliance of trading cities in the 13th-17th centuries. But you probably knew that.

I was there with some friends of me because they know Phil Porter for his photgraphs. Make sure to check out his great pictures on philporter.de The Salon Obscura which Phil and his team had build is a real adventure and a little escape from the reality. Hidden in the heard of the city is this lovely handmade place full of obscurities, strange stories, a maze and lots of fun obstacles. Basicaly it's an exhibition of the unique photographies he did, but you have find your way through the hotel corridors to see all the great pictures! In my opinion it is a place you can't find enywhere else. Go there, getting lost and leave some money for postcards or posters to support there work. We had to wait a few minutes outsides because you can only go in with 4 people at a time. So bring some time and have a strange little journey.

This cathedral was incredible. I was there during an organ concert--a perfect environment for wonderful music. But at the back, they have a small museum that should not be missed. Lots of pieces from the Middle Ages and Reformation. They had a priest's vestments from the 12th century!

Located at the market square where you'll get to see the St Petri's Dom, the Town Musicians and Roland statue within the vicinity. Beautiful Town Hall @ Rathaus.

I wasn't especially interested in the modern material that's there--although I can see others would be. It is very well done. However, they have a super collection of Reformation art and objects including Lucas Cranach's paintings of Martin Luther and Katerina von Bora. Wonderful! That by itself is worth the price of admission.

The old town hall, the Roland statue, churches, the Schnorr quarter and the Modersohn Becker museum, all things one should enjoy slowly while indulging yourself with chocolate from Bremen (Hachez or Feodora).

Standing in front of the Schutting, originally the guild house you can see in the figures on the building much of the interconnections of Bremen with the other cities of the Baltic.

A beautiful street full of history. Entering the street from the main city square, you are entering the time portal and are being transfered to mideval times. Placed in great preserved buildings you can find museums, restaurants, hand made candy shops, soap shops, souvenir shops...

I visited this place on Saturday morning and except flea market there were not too many visitors so I could take my time walking along the river, taking pictures and enjoying fresh air smelling after water which I love so much. It was one of the highlits of my stay in Bremen.

I am finding it hard to write this review if I am honest, as it's not something that is enjoyable to visit as such. However as we were driving from Lubeck to Bremen I thought we should go, as the chance may not occur again. It was very thought provoking and more upsetting than I had bargained for, then we just couldn't believe the actual size of it. I find the fact that it has been turned in to a museum fantastic, as it tells personal stories of those forced to work on the building. The size of the structure is overwhelming and literally right on the edge of a town. We paid a returnable deposit to get the self guided audio tour, which was very good. The tour takes you both inside and out, showing you the part that has been repaired to use as storage and the bit that still remains bomb damaged, then a walk round its perimeter. The entrance is a little difficult to find, both the road to get in to park, then again with the actual entrance. You have to go back outside the car park, past the memorial and round the outer perimeter to get back in. The plan to build something so immense is unbelievable really, but then its purpose and undertaking of the actual building of it, very sad, but I have to say worth a visit.
