Bremen is a city in northern Germany. Bremen was once a member of the medieval Hanseatic League and is still one of the most important cities in northern Germany. Together with the city of Bremerhaven on the North Sea it forms Germany's smallest province. Bremen has a more than 1200 years of history, and was most of the time an independent city state. Bremen is a rather long and narrow city, lined along both sides of the river Weser. Along the north-west/south-east axis it stretches 37 km, but across only 10 km. Bremen airport (BRE) is located in the south-west of the town and offers flights to most bigger German cities and some European destinations. It`s easily accessible by public transport (tram line 6, about 20 minutes from the city centre) and by car. Major carriers are OLT and Lufthansa. Regular and frequent services connect Bremen with the rest of Germany. There are trains nearly every hour to Hamburg in the north and Osnabrück, Münster and the Ruhr Area in the South as well as to Hanover. In the west lie the cities Delmenhorst and Oldenburg and the frisian islands. Autobahn 1 runs to Hamburg in the north and Cologne in the south but do check the traffic information! The A27 goes north to Bremerhaven and Cuxhaven and south towards Hanover, Braunschweig, Berlin and other eastwards connections. Much of Bremen (or at least the part frequented by travellers) can be negotiated by foot. Book hotels in Bremen safe and secure with HotelPricewatch.com.
