Guided tour through Bremen’s Old town
The city tour through Bremen’s Old town offers city history and stories from the city in one. You will discover the market square – the parlor of Bremen – with its historic buildings (from the outside), the Cathedral yard, the Böttcherstrasse and finally reach the enchanting Schnoor quarter with its medieval flair.
Of course, you will also visit the Bremen Town Musicians, the city’s world-famous ambassadors who once made their way to the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen.
Why are the Bremen Town Hall and the Bremen Roland so important that they are both UNESCO World Heritage sites? What do art and decaffeinated coffee in Bremen have to do with each other? And why do the people of Bremen spit on a small black stone at the Cathedral yard? You will get the answers to these and many other exciting questions during the tour.
In between, you will also hear a few stories about famous women from Bremen and pass buildings in which famous women played and still play a role today. For example, the Paula Modersohn-Becker Museum in Böttcherstrasse is the first museum in the world dedicated to a female artist.
Look forward to exciting stories and secrets!
