EuroTripping – Bremen Scenes

Last summer, we spent 3 weeks in on a road trip around part of Europe. The 13th city we visited was Bremen, a small town in the northwest corner of Germany. 

We needed a place to spend the night as we were making our way back to Oslo and chose this charming city we had never visited. Our hotel was near the Hauptbahnhof and we just had a few hours walking the dog down to the city centre to see a bit of the historic Altstadt, or Old Town, to acquaint ourselves with Bremen.

Unlike most of the other cities we visited on this adventure, we had no plan or notion of what to see in Bremen so it is guaranteed that we missed a lot of hidden jewels — a good excuse to return next time we are in western Germany.

Here are some scenes from our evening walk around Bremen’s old town from our brief overnight stay last July.

The Kulturzentrum Schlachthof (a culture center) caught our eye early on in our walk
I loved the warm color of the stones making up the Hauptbahnhof’s main building
Someone cycling in front of the Bremen Cathedral (St Petri Dom)
Fancy details on the Gewerbehaus
Bright red tram heading down Obernstraße
The Schütting, another fancy old building on the Marktplatz, was old guild house
The Church of Our Lady
More interesting architecture (all those different windows! the cool roof lines! the striped arches!)
A view including churches and tram lines and people
The Hauptbahnhof was lit by the late evening light
A young duo frolicking near the Landesbank
A cute row of gabled “Merchants Houses” on the Marktplatz
Another view of the cathedral
Diners enjoying the evening

I am a photography enthusiast living in Oslo, Norway. My favourite subjects tend to be landscapes and nature - but I enjoy photographing urban scenes, architecture, abstract shapes and street images as well. Welcome!
