The old buildings have excellent detail, you can stare up in amazement anywhere. You'll find someone playing music in every corner, and they're very appreciative of donations. The food was a bit expensive, but that's to be expected in a touristy area, a few minutes walk off the beaten path gets you better deals for food. More

Well, the entire ensemble. People should respect it a little bit more, be happy to live in between such beautiful heritage and just walk quitly or sit down with a cup of coffee and watch calmly and without throwong their litter everxwhere. More

The old town area is a great place to walk around and explore. While you do so, the cafes and restaurants along the river are great places to sit down for a meal or a beer, but they get can get very, very crowded to so get there early if you plan to go in the evening. More

The altstadt square is beautiful - full of restuarants, pubs, amazing history since 1079, lots of back alley, unique small intimate pubs. If you are from Europe its more of the same but if you are from North America its an amazing place to explore. More

The old town part of Bremen is certainly worth seeing when you're in town. There are lots of little shops and historical buildings to suit everyones fancy. Further, you can sit in a cafe or grab a bit to eat and people watch there quite nicely too. More
