Bremen attractions and experiences are delightful and sure to please even the most discerning traveler. My below top ten list is Bremen in a nutshell.
1. Scoping Out The Heroes And Musicians Of Bremen Town
These Bremen attractions are at the literal and figurative heart of the city. As you make your way to the Marktplatz, you can’t miss the ten-meter high Roland, protector and hero of Bremen. And the much beloved Bremen Town Musicians (Bremer Stadtmusikanten) are here as well.
If you have a special wish, you can rub the donkey’s hooves to make it come true. ;-)
