Have you ever been to Bremen? If not, you MUST visit it. This town is one of my favorite places in the world. It is really nice, small, warmly welcoming and, finally, FAIRY!
Town Musicians of Bremen
The first thing that is associated with Bremen for the majority of people is (I assume) Town Musicians of Bremen by Brothers Grimm. Even though these characters had not ever arrived in Bremen, in the centre of the town you may find sculpture dedicated to the musicians.
Musicians’ monument is placed in the centre of town – on the Marktplatz – and surrounded by old town buildings which are really gorgeous.
Due Bremen is a small town you will need only one day (at least two days) to walk it throughout and to fall in love with it! Shnoor neighborhood, narrow streets and peaceful Weser River create romantic and fairy atmosphere there.
Marktplatz
If you are done with promenades, you may visit Mercedes manufacturing here. There you have an exciting opportunity to learn, for example, about E-class Mercedes production in real-time and to walk through the whole process of car assembly. Prior to assembly you will go through the shop where everything is run automatically by smart robots! Unfortunately, photographs are not allowed at production due to commercial confidentiality. That is why I cannot provide you with breathtaking pictures of smart robots. And this is another reason for you to come to this town and to see it by yourself.
What is more important about Bremen in the context of logistics, there is a port of strategic role which is named Bremerhaven. It is sixteenth-largest port in the world and the fourth-largest port in Europe. In Bremerhaven more than one million cars are imported and exported annually. Container-fans will definitely love it!
If you have a chance to visit this wonderful town, do not lose it!
