Summer is probably the best season to explore the city by foot, checking out the Schnoor ”string” – i.e. the oldest part of the city – where the old ship trade took place and where wires and anchor chains were manufactured. Once there you can spot the famous Town Musicians statue, wander along the Schlachte Promenade next to the river, or take a walk to The Roland on market square, which has been a sort of symbol of independence in the city since 1404.
Tourist Season

May and September are also excellent months to visit Bremen. There are no crowds, and although the temperatures cool down a bit, there are still plenty of things to do - like visiting Beck's Brewery, walking around historic Bremen, or going to the Universum Science Center.
