Highlights around Market Square, Böttcherstrasse and Schnoor
Our guided tour of Bremen's Old Town is a classic among city tours and is always popular with visitors who want to learn the most important facts about Bremen. This tour invites you on an exciting journey through time: discover the Hanseatic city's most famous sights, hear fascinating stories and enjoy the special atmosphere that combines tradition and modernity.
Bremen's market square – the historic heart of the city
The tour begins at the impressive market square, the historic center of Bremen and one of the most beautiful squares in Germany. Several highlights await you here: the magnificent Bremen Town Hall (UNESCO World Heritage Site) from the outside, the imposing Roland statue as a symbol of freedom and justice and of course the world-famous Bremen Town Musicians. A perfect place for a souvenir photo with the donkey, dog, cat, and cock!
Böttcherstrasse – Bremen's artistic side
Just a few steps away from the market square is Böttcherstrasse – an architectural masterpiece and a real highlight of any city tour in Bremen. The narrow alleyway delights visitors with its expressionist brick architecture, small museums, hidden details, and a unique carillon. It is not without reason that Böttcherstrasse is also known as Bremen's secret main street. But who commissioned this work of art? And why? And what did coffee and a marketing strategy that was provocative for its time have to do with it? We will explain this and much more during the tour.
The Schnoor: Bremen's oldest quarter
The tour ends with a walk through the Schnoor quarter – Bremen's oldest and most charming part of town. The narrow streets, crooked houses, and lovingly run shops make this place feel like a living fairy tale. Every step here feels like a little trip back in time.
Some alleys are so small and narrow that we can only walk through them in single file. Let yourself be surprised!
