Bremen City Park
Built on the site of the former city fortifications, this star-shaped park is the oldest public garden in Germany. It features scenic walking paths, colorful flowerbeds, and the historic "Am Wall" windmill.
Natural History and Ethnographic Museum
An incredible Jugendstil (Art Nouveau) street that runs from the main square towards the river. There are many fine façades and courtyards all with large amounts of design detail. There is an impressive Glockenspiel that chimes at regular intervals. There are lots of shops and several museums, including the impressive Paula Modersohn-Becker Museum. Haus Atlantis (now the Hilton) has an impressive spiral staircase just inside, at the top of which is the staggering Himmelshaal (it is not normally open to the public).
This statue on the main square, in front of the town hall, is of the Knight Roland, subject of the Medieval epic, the Song of Roland, who was a protector of trade. He appears in many European cities, especially those involved in the Hanseatic league. Bremen's is considered one of the finest and is included with Town Hall on the World Heritage List. The standing figure is 5.47 m tall.
Town Hall
This is one of the finest in Europe and has been included on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Building work started in 1410 and it is seen as an important display of the wealth and freedom of the city.
