Where is Bremen?

Bremen is known as a city of short distances. Many corners of the city can be discovered wonderfully on foot or by bike, the favourite means of transport for Bremen residents. Of course, the city by the Weser also has a well-developed public transport network. In addition, the centrally located main railway station and the ZOB (central bus station) as well as the airport close to the city make it easy for you to get here. We've provided some tips for your journey and orientation in Bremen on this page.

So where is Bremen located?

Bremen, the Hanseatic city by the Weser, together with Bremerhaven, located about 65 kilometres further north at the mouth of the Weser, form Germany's only 2-city federal state. Bremen is the smallest federal state with about 550,000 inhabitants in Bremen and 130,000 in Bremerhaven. At the same time, the Hanseatic city of Bremen is the pulsating heart of north-west Germany and home to the world-famous Bremen Town Musicians. A large city with many facets - history, tradition, science, nature and culture combine to create an ever-fascinating overall picture.
