What to do and see in Altstadt, State of Bremen: The Best Things to do
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.

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.

Kunsthalle Bremen Only a few minutes away from the market place is the Kunsthalle Bremen. Over the course of its 180 year history, it has developed into a museum with an international reputation. In 1823, 34 art-loving citizens established the Kunstverein Bremen [Bremen Arts Society] which still runs the institution as a private supporting organisation today, sponsored by regular subsidies from the Bremen municipality. The collection of paintings centres on French and German art of the nineteenth and twentieth century. Along with other European works of the fifteenth and nineteenth century, they fill the gallery on the upper floor. Special highlights are the many paintings by Paula Modersohn-Becker, Max Beckmann, Lovis Corinth, Max Liebermann, and Eugène Delacroix. The Department of Prints and Drawings holds about 200,000 sheets, including hand drawings, aquarelles, and printed graphs of the fifteenth to twentieth century, and is thus one of the major institutions of its kind in Europe. Sculptures, including ones by Auguste Rodin, are presented in the Large Gallery on the ground floor. On the top floor an exclusive artwork by John Cage is exhibited.

What a terrific place! Here, you can experience the change in painting: from the old masters through impressionism to the 'Klassische Moderne'. We were very impressed by the beauty of the building and the various halls

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.
