Bremen - the city

Bremen, where the German language is spoken in its purest form, is situated on the river Weser in the North of Germany. Although it is a city with 600,000 inhabitants, mixing a unique blend of Hanseatic tradition and modern development, it also possesses the friendly and familiar quality of a smaller town, where one can feel at ease and make friends easily.

You will find plenty to do in your free time, whether walking in one of its lovely parks, admiring the friendly architecture or partaking the delights of its café culture, pub quarters and squares. Bremen's closeness to the sea also makes it an ideal base to take off from for excursions to the North Sea islands, to Hamburg, Lubeck or the Luneberg Moors. And to round off your weekend programme, Holland and Denmark are just around the corner.
