Bremen is the German city everyone has heard of and almost nobody can place. It sits in the northwest, on the river Weser, and it has been trading coffee, wine and spices for six centuries. That history is still edible, from a fresh fish sandwich to a wine cellar built in 1405.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bremen lies in northwestern Germany, about 60 kilometres inland from the North Sea<\/strong>. It’s roughly an hour by train from Hamburg and 4,5 hours from Amsterdam. Around 570,000 people live here. Together with the port city of Bremerhaven it forms Germany’s smallest federal state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The city is a Hanseatic <\/strong>one, meaning it grew rich through maritime trade rather than through kings. Its market square holds the Town Hall, begun in 1405, and the Roland statue of 1404. The ensemble was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2004. Two minutes away, the Schnoor quarter squeezes fishermen’s houses from the 15th century into lanes barely wide enough for two people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
