Germany · BREMEN TOURS
Every trip has one free day too few. These 15 bremen tours justify the slot, priced and timed so you can decide in minutes and get back to the fun part.
Meet a costumed night guard beneath Bremen’s Town Hall and follow a lantern-lit route through the Market Square, Böttcherstraße, and Schnoor. The 1.5-hour tour is entirely in German, with tales of misconduct, old city rules, and life in Bremen around 1637.
“Der Nachtwächter war gut. Trotz Regen und 3 Grad hat er uns humorvoll durch Bremen geführt. Für mich, als Hörgeräteträger war er super zu verstehen.”
Walk about 2 km through Bremen’s historic center with an English or German-speaking guide. You’ll see the UNESCO-listed town hall, Roland, cathedral, Town Musicians, Böttcherstraße, and the Schnoor quarter, with stories, humor, and local context along the way.
“The tour was fantastic. Our guide was professional and brought things to life with interesting facts and a bit of humour. It was well worth doing the tour. It was great to hear the history behind the city and its past residents.”
Choose between two German-language routes through Bremen’s underworld. Visit the cathedral crypt, central station bunker, hidden supply street, former banana-ripening halls, or the Admiralstraße ABC bunker. Guides including Thomas and Peter lead this unusual two-hour history tour.
Spend three hours at Beck’s and Haake-Beck in Bremen with a German or English-speaking guide. Visit the museum, brewing areas on weekdays, malt silos, tanks, and brewery cinema, then taste three beers or choose soft drinks. Guides such as Florian, Jakob, and Violete bring the story to life.
“Adrian was a great tourguide! The tour was a little long, but we met some great people while trying the beers.”
Walk Bremen’s Schnoor quarter with a German-speaking guide, following narrow lanes past 14th-century houses, St. John’s Church, historic facades, goldsmiths, and craft shops. Choose a shared or private tour, and look for guide Sönke if available, known for witty local stories.
Spend a full day exploring Universum Bremen, where you can grow ice, make clouds, test your senses, and take apart the ideas behind everyday technology. The ticket covers the science center, special exhibition, and outdoor area. No guide is listed, so you explore at your own pace.
“Technik zum Anfassen und Ausprobieren. Wer Hunger hat, sollte das Restaurant im Eingangsberrich wählen. Gutes Essen und viele Sitzplätze.”
Follow a German-speaking guide through Bremen’s darker past, from medieval crimes and historic executions to a former prison built in 1900. You’ll examine criminal archives, hear about murders and heists, and solve strange cases involving a burglar and an explosive fire extinguisher.
Join a German-speaking guide and costumed performer for a two-hour staged walk through Bremen. Expect real landmarks, curious stories, eccentric characters, and stops at the Town Hall, Roland, Böttcherstraße, Schlachte, Schnoor, and Ostertorwache.
“Leider in der Zeitpunkt zu Weihnachten falsch. Man bekommt akustisch wenig mit. Eine Ausstattung mit Kopfhörern wäre von Vorteil gewesen. Die Inhalte können deshalb wenig bewertet werden. Werbung für SPD empfanden wir als unpassend.”
Spend about an hour inside Bremen’s UNESCO-listed Town Hall with an English-speaking guide. See the Upper Town Hall, Roland Statue, and Golden Chamber while guides such as Britta and Pierre bring six centuries of Bremen history to life.
“Really great tour. Very fun guide. She shared great stories to make history easy to remember. Das Rathaus was worth visititing.”
Walk Bremen’s Old Town after dark with a costumed German-speaking night watchman. In one hour, you’ll follow the route from the Cathedral steps across the Market Square and Böttcherstraße to the Schnoor, with stories about school, food, childhood, crime, and nightly duties.
Follow a German-speaking guide beneath Bremen’s center for two hours. Visit the former synagogue cellar, the Ostertorwache prison cells, and Theater Bremen’s huge Kulissenkeller, where backstage machinery and maze-like corridors reveal a less familiar side of the city.
“Unterwelt weckt falsche Erwartungen, es sind Gewölbe in unterschiedlichen Gebäuden. Dennoch sehr interessant und auf jeden Fall lohnenswert, klare Empfehlung”
Use your one-day ticket to explore Bremen’s Übersee-Museum, where people, trade, and nature meet. See Asian rainforests, African wildlife, Indigenous American cultures, Pre-Columbian gold, colonial history, and current topics such as migration and climate change. A media guide and Wi-Fi are included.
You’ll follow codes and architectural clues through Bremen’s Old Town with an iPad and a personal game master on hand by chat. The two-hour German-language mission begins near the Pressehaus and ends elsewhere, so wear good shoes and dress for the weather.
“Es hat viel Spaß gemacht und man konnte dadurch Bremen noch einmal ganz anders wahrnehmen!”
Use your phone to guide a private group of up to six through Bremen in English. Solve city-game questions while visiting Schnoor, the Town Hall, Roland, the cathedral, Schlachte, and other key sights. Plan extra time if you want to stop and look around.
“It was a great way to see the sights and learn about the city without being in a big tour group. My daughter and I recommended this self tour.”
Meet your English- or German-speaking guide at Bremen’s Town Hall for a private 90-minute walk through the UNESCO-listed center. See Roland, St. Peter’s Cathedral, the Town Musicians, Böttcherstraße, and Schnoor’s lanes, boutiques, cafés, and galleries. Entrance fees are extra.
“Fachkundige Führerinnen, allerdings habe ich zwei Gruppen a‘ 15 gebucht und bezahlt. Da eine der von Ihnen beauftragten Stadtführerinnen lediglich einen Auftrag Kleingruppe 4 Personen übermittelt bekommen hat, mussten die beiden Gruppen sehr ungleich aufgeteilt werden.”
Pick a city, a river or a beer hall.
