M?hle am Wall
by joernme
Especially with nice wheather it's fun to walk around the Wallanlagen park, the green belt with water around the city center. In former times to protect the city from enemies, now a nice area for walking or ice skating in winter. The old windmill now is a nice cafe, great to sit inside or outside.
Located half way between the central station and the Soegestrasse shopping area.
In for a good sandwich?
by TimDK about SubWay
SubWay is a food chain where they sell delicious sandwiches.
You can choose between various sizes and types of bread and can have any garniture you like. Definately recommended when you want to have a quick and decent bite! Italian Sandwich with Turkey Breast, cheese and Mexican hot sauce is my favorite: it's a very tasty sandwich which you can have either cold or warm. Go for the warm one and ask for Mexican hot sauce if you like spicy food.
Roland - Knight of Charlemagne
by Mariajoy
Standing at 3 meters high, this statue of Roland, the Knight of Charlemagne was erected in 1404 and is the oldest and largest of his kind amongst all the other Hanseatic cities in Germany. The Roland statues are symbols or a type of hallmark of trading rights and freedom throughout these cities and the statue here in Bremen, together with the Rathaus are what make this city a UNESCO World Heritage site.
When I visited Bremen it was Oktoberfest time and he was sporting one of those ubiquitous gingerbread hearts which can be bought on virtually any market stall at this time.
Roland stands proudly facing the St Petrie Dom, this was done deliberately by Bremen merchants of the 16th century, to show the church that they would never again be dominated by them and asserting their independence and their allegiance to the emporer.
Böttcherstrasse
by pieter_jan_v
This small is street leading from the Market square to the Weser river is your perfect start of a city walk in the Bremen Altstadt.
You will find the Paula Becker-Modersohn exhibition and the Roselius Museum with its collection of items representing the heyday of Hanseatic merchant tradition.
Every day at noon, 3PM and 6PM the chimes will sound. Figures of the most famous ocean voyagers emerge and revolve to the sound of the bells.
