As a Hanseatic city, Bremen looks back on a long seafaring tradition. This history is recognisable everywhere in the city. Numerous museums focus their exhibitions on Bremen as a port city. Along the Weser you will not only feel the sea air, you will also discover numerous ships worth seeing. Some of them invite you on excursions, while others offer unusual overnight accommodation. Culinary delights await you not only by the water, but also on it. Let us inspire you to experience the wonderful flair of the Hanseatic city!

Picturesque Harbours and Marinas to Stay in Bremen

Well worth visiting: Old Weser harbours throughout Bremen that connect seafaring traditions and modern use as a marina. All over Bremen leisure captains can find a suitable berth for their vessel. Bridging the gap between historical seafaring traditions and old harbour buildings on the one hand and current forms of use on the other, several old harbour areas now serve as marinas and picturesque spots for instagrammable sunsets.
