Is a huge and busy seaport really able to grand you a relaxing holiday? Bremerhaven will just fit the bill! The city's distinct setting on the mouth of the Weser almost makes it merge with the North Sea, ensuring a steady supply of clean and fresh air. Why not go on a leisurely walk along the many shore promenades at the dyke as the sea breeze tousles your hair? Alternatively, you can hire a bicycle to explore the marshland to the south of the city or the tiny seaside resorts to its north. Another great idea for a day out is a trip aboard a real square-rigged sailboat on the North Sea.

Since its foundation in 1827, Bremerhaven and its overseas harbour have developed into one of the largest port cities in Europe. Situated at the mouth of the Weser into the North Sea, visitors to the Hanseatic city enjoy a maritime ambience. The atmosphere of Bremerhaven can be experienced especially during a stroll along the Weser dyke.
