Sightseeing in Bremen - Cultural Sights 'Must Visit' & 'Must See'

Bremen Musicians have become a permanent symbol of the city. The monument devoted to them can be seen on one of the main squares of the city. Bremen is full of various tour routes, each of which is interesting in its own special way. The building of the town hall is a remarkable architectural monument, which is located on Marktplatts Square. It was built in the beginning of the 15th century. This sight remains the most striking gothic monument of Bremen, so don’t miss your chance to visit it.

St. Peter Cathedral is a wonderful example of Romanesque style. The construction of the cathedral began in the 11th century and lasted for more than two hundred years. During its long history the cathedral has been reconstructed several times. Nowadays one of the towers of the cathedral is equipped with a large observation deck, from which locals and guests of the city can clearly see stunning panoramic looks of the city. In order to climb to the highest tower, you will have to overcome the 265 step long ladder. However, the reward for such endurance is definitely worth it - the panoramic views here are really unforgettable.

Focke Museum is one of the best ways of getting acquainted with the history of the city. Some of the museum’s expositions are located in a beautiful historical building. Several additional wings have been added recently to the main building. In addition to the usual display of historical artifacts and antiques, this museum features works of modern artists. Fans of art worth will be glad to see priceless masterpieces, which can be found in the Picture Gallery. Opened in 1849, the gallery presents a collection of paintings which is considered one of the largest collections in the country.
