The Church of St. John dominates the romantic narrow streets and small town houses. The oldest district in this Hanseatic city, once occupied by fisherman and artisans, is today home to artists, galleries and a vibrant array of shops and restaurants.

Authentic shopping
The proprietors of these small shops, bars and restaurants have given them an exquisite, original and fiercely individual feel. Bremen specialities include aromatic teas and hand-painted crockery. You can also find high-quality leather goods, fashion – both elegant and all-weather, quirky tin ornaments and Christmas decorations all year round.
