Discover the Old Quarter and the Neighbourhood with "Dein Bremen Guide"

This route is particularly suitable for anyone who not only wants to discover historic Bremen, but also the neighbouring trendy "Viertel" away from the main streets. Here you will find old Bremen houses in abundance - some houses are very large, others are small because people weren't that tall in the past. You'll find galleries and street art, hidden pubs, playgrounds and much more - making it a pleasant place to stroll.
