We travelled by train from Bremen to Diepholz and beyond. We bought a Niedersachsen Tageskarte for just 26E (or 13E each) which can be used for up to 5 people for the entire day, all over the region until 3am the next day - a real bargain as we had a lot of travelling to do that day and it saved us a small fortune in fares!
This is a central station and as well as local trains, you can catch an IC train to many other German cities including Hamburg, Magdeburg, Berlin etc, and also Schiphol (Amsterdam!).
Through the Deutsche Bahn website it is now possible to book AND print your tickets in advance of your trip. Check the website for details.

Hi, I'll give you the info as I know it. I've done it myself but I've looked it up to check.
The airport website tells you 3 ways how to get from the airport to the Hauptbahnhof:
You can take tram (Strassenbahn Line 6)
Or bus (Line 52)
Or a taxi to the Hauptbahnhof (about 10 euro).
Enjoy Bremen. Lovely city.

Buy a Niedersachsen pass and you can travel anywhere from 9am to 3pm the NEXT day for 28 euros on Metronom trains. The ticket includes the possibility of travelling to Hamburg (which isn't Niedersachsen).

The Radzentrum, next to the Hauptbahnhof (to the right as you exit), rents out bicycles for 80 euros a month (40 euros a week). Next to it is a secure compound where you can leave bikes for a fee if you are going off somewhere on the train.

Bremen easily can be reached by train, either by regional trains or also by InterCityExpress, InterCity or EuroCity trains. You can check for connections on the website www.bahn.de.
The central station is north of the centre and you easily can reach the centre by foot from there, and in front of the train station there's also a tram station. The train station is not really big (I think it has 9 platforms), but it's a very nice building that even is a historical monument.

We found local transport in Bremen to be excellent. Integrated bus and tram services work very well.
A Tagesticket (dayticket) plus is good for 2 adults and up to 4 kids for the day on trams and buses, cost is 7.30 Euro (9/2009), good value.

Flew into Bremen with Ryanair, spotted Air Berlin flights there also.
Easy to get to / from, tram #6 stops outside and runs into the city centre, excellent!
Unusually there is a viewing area here too, not many flights to watch for us unfortunately.
