Bahnhit Bremen

Der perfekte Kurzurlaub!

Per ICE, IC/EC und RE erreicht ihr bequem die Stadtmitte Bremens und einen der modernsten Bahnhöfe Deutschlands - inklusive einer Einkaufszone, die zum Bummeln und Verweilen einlädt.

Am Bahnhofsvorplatz findet ihr Anschluss an das Bus- und Straßenbahnnetz der BSAG und ein BSAG-Kundencenter. Von dort gelangt ihr in rund zehn Minuten zu Fuß zum Marktplatz oder in circa fünf Minuten per Bus oder Bahn zur Haltestelle Domsheide in der Innenstadt.

Das Messe- und Congress Centrum sowie die ÖVB Arena (Bremen Arena) sind in drei Gehminuten über den Nordausgang des Hauptbahnhofs erreichbar.

Architektonisches Schmuckstück

Der Hauptbahnhof Bremen wurde im Jahr 1889 erbaut und wird heute täglich von 120.000 Reisenden und Besucher*innen passiert. Nordöstlich von der Innenstadt gelegen, ist er ein wichtiger Knotenpunkt für den regionalen, nationalen und internationalen Fernverkehr. Auf neun Gleisen verkehren am Tag rund 100 Fernverkehrs- und 410 Nahverkehrszüge. Darüber hinaus haben im Inneren des Bahnhofs rund 30 Geschäfte an jedem Tag im Jahr geöffnet. Eines der Prunkstücke des Hauptbahnhofs ist die denkmalgeschützte Empfangshalle. Sie wurde von dem Hannoveraner Architekten Hubert Stier im Stil der Neo-Renaissance errichtet und 2012 von der "Allianz pro Schiene" zum schönsten in ganz Deutschland gewählt. Die drei klassizistischen Reliefs über dem Haupteingang zeugen von dem Zeitgefühl des ausgehenden 19. Jahrhunderts. Und auch im Inneren zieht ein prächtiges Wandmosaik die Blicke auf sich. Es wurde erst im Jahre 2000 wiederentdeckt und restauriert.

Bremer Hauptbahnhof

Der Bremer Hauptbahnhof ist für den Nord-Süd Verkehr ein wichtiger Knotenpunkt des Nah- Regional,- und Fernverkehrs. Hier halten der ICE-, Intercity und EuroCity- und die Regio-S-Bahn. Der Bremer Bahnhof wurde am 15. Oktober 1889 in der heutigen Bauweise eingeweiht. Rund 147.000 Reisende nutzen jeden Tag den knapp 30.000 Quadratmeter großen Hauptbahnhof. Auf neun Gleisen fahren 100 ICE und IC täglich 26 Zielorte Deutschlandweit an, darunter Dortmund, Kiel, Berlin, Frankfurt/Main, Passau und Leipzig. Des Weiteren ein Nachtzugpaar München-Hamburg und 5 Zugpaare der EC-Linie Hamburg-Chur. Für den regionalen Zugverkehr ist der Hauptbahnhof in Bremen ebenso mit mehr als 400 Nahverkehrszügen das Zentrum.

In der Bahnhofsvorstadt ist der Vorplatz des Hauptbahnhofs der Stadtteil Mitte. Dieser begrenzt sich nördlich durch den Hauptbahnhof, westlich durch das Übersee-Museum, südlich durch Geschäfte und Hotels und östlich vom ehemaligen Postamt Bremen 5. Vor dem Bahnhof befinden sich Umsteigepunkte von Straßenbahnen und Stadtbussen der BSAG sowie weiterer Anbieter. Der Bahnhof von Bremen befindet sich sehr zentral in der Nähe der Altstadt und des  Bürgerparks . All das kann in kurzer Zeit fußläufig oder mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln erreicht werden. Von dort aus sind alle anderen wichtigen Punkte in der Stadt zu erreichen. In unmittelbarer Nähe befinden sich viele  Hotels , Restaurants und Clubs, wie der Pixl Club. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind zahlreich vorhanden.

Der Hauptbahnhof ist wie viele heutzutage nicht nur ein Bahnhof, sondern ebenso ein großes  Einkaufszentrum . Reisende, die dort auf ihre Züge warten, können sich so die Zeit vertreiben. Von Mode über Lebensmittel, Blumen und Bücher ist dort so gut wie alles zu finden. Natürlich mangelt es nicht an Restaurants, Bäcker und Snackläden.

Im Bremer Hauptbahnhof stehen über 30 Geschäfte und Gastronomie-Angebote zur Verfügung. In Richtung der einzelnen Gleise werden Produkte und Lebensmittel für den täglichen Bedarf angeboten. Für das kulinarische wird im Ostflügel gesorgt.

Im Westflügel sind die Touristikzentrale und das DB-Reisezentrum untergebracht, und hier geht es speziell um das Reisen und den Service. Der Hauptbahnhof Bremen verfügte vor der Jahrtausendwende lediglich über dunkle und enge Tunnel als Verbindung zwischen der Stadthalle und Innenstadt, dem berüchtigten Lloyd-Tunnel. Durch den Umbau im Jahr 2000 ist dieser Durchgang das neue Nordbahnhofsportal mit dem Namen „Passage Bürgerweide“. Die jetzt hell ausgeleuchtete Ladenpassage verbindet großzügig den Nord- und Südausgang. Seit der Renovierung ist der Bremer Hauptbahnhof mit der Stadt und umliegenden Stadtteile verbunden. Hier läuft alles durch und zum Bremer Bahnhof und heißt treffenderweise Bahnhofsvorstadt.

Bremen Main Train Station

© WFB / Carina Tank

Bremen's main train station is an indispensable part of the city as a transport hub and architectural feature. As one of the most important centres for rail traffic in the north of Germany, Bremen's main station is available to around 120,000 travellers every day, who use the imposing building in the Neo-Renaissance architectural style as the starting point, arrival point or connection point for their train journeys.

More Information

By ICE, IC/EC and RE, you can easily reach the centre of Bremen and one of the most modern railway stations in Germany - including a shopping area that invites you to stroll and linger. At the station forecourt you will find connections to the BSAG bus and tram network and a BSAG customer centre. From there it's about a ten-minute walk to the market square or about five minutes by bus or tram to the Domsheide stop in the city centre. The Messe- und Congress Centrum and the ÖVB Arena (Bremen Arena) are a three-minute walk away via the north exit of the main station.

Architectural Gem

Bremen's Main Train Station was built in 1889 and is now used by 120,000 travellers and visitors every day. Located north-east of the city centre, it is an important hub for regional, national and international long-distance traffic. Around 100 long-distance and 410 local trains run on nine tracks every day. In addition, around 30 shops are open inside the station every day of the year. One of the showpieces of the main station is the listed reception hall. It was built by the Hanoverian architect Hubert Stier in the neo-Renaissance style and was voted the most beautiful in the whole of Germany by the "Allianz pro Schiene" (Pro-Rail Alliance) in 2012. The three classicist reliefs above the main entrance bear witness to the feeling of the time at the end of the 19th century. And inside, too, a magnificent wall mosaic catches the eye. It was only rediscovered and restored in 2000.

The Free Hanseatic City of Bremen is a city in northern Germany with a major port on the River Weser. The population is 567,000 (2020). It is also the name of one of the states of Germany which consists of two separated enclaves on the River Weser; the other enclave, Bremerhaven , is covered by its own article.

Understand [ edit ]

History [ edit ].

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 state. Bremen has more than 1200 years of history, and was, for most of its existence, an independent city-state.

Bremer Stadtmusikanten [ edit ]

The Bremer Stadtmusikanten (Town Musicians of Bremen) perhaps the most well known figures associated with Bremen are characters from the Brothers Grimm fairy tale of the same name. Their image adorns many of the souvenirs in the city. Next to the Town Hall is a much photographed statue of them.

Geography [ edit ]

Bremen is a rather long and narrow city, lining both sides of the river Weser. Along the north-west/south-east axis it stretches about 10 km, but across only 2 km. The entire city is located on flat plains.

Get in [ edit ]

By plane [ edit ].

If you want a smooth intercontinental connection to Bremen, your best bet is to fly with Star Alliance or SkyTeam. Star Alliance founder Lufthansa flies from Bremen to their hubs in Frankfurt and Munich , sister airline Eurowings to Stuttgart , while other alliance member Scandinavian Airlines flies to Copenhagen and Turkish Airlines to Istanbul . SkyTeam's founders Air France-KLM fly to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport and Amsterdam-Schiphol . You can connect to the alliances' vast networks of intercontinental - and European - connections there. If you are cost conscious, it might work out cheaper to forgo the domestic flight on the last leg and use an air rail alliance such as rail&fly instead. Though thanks to the quirky nature of airline pricing, the exact opposite may be the case.

Getting from the airport into town is quick, smooth and painless. Tram (Straßenbahn) 6 leaves right outside the main terminal building and takes you into downtown every 10 minutes during the day. Travel time is 10 minutes to downtown (Domsheide) and 16 minutes to the Main Railway Station (Hauptbahnhof).

Further afield, you can fly to Hamburg and Hannover. Both cities have frequent train connections with Bremen.

By train [ edit ]

Train tickets can be quite expensive (unless bought in advance), and the cheapest way to travel can be to share a group ticket with other people. However, group tickets are not as cheap as they once were and often an early bird fare (starting from €19 for short routes) on a high-speed connection is cheaper and less stressful than dealing with group tickets which are almost always only valid on regional trains. For more on that issue see rail travel in Germany .

By bus [ edit ]

• 53.082304 8.810405 3 Intercity bus station ( ZOB Breitenweg ), Bürgermeister-Smidt-Straße 15 ( outside Bremen Hbf ).  

Flixbus has all but cornered the market.

By car [ edit ]

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.

Get around [ edit ]

By foot [ edit ]

Much of Bremen (or at least the part frequented by tourists) can be negotiated by foot - the best way to explore the old city and its surrounding districts.

By shared car [ edit ]

Members of the Cambio car-sharing network, whether in Germany or Belgium, can hire cars - Bremen is the company's headquarters.

Most trains are operated by Deutsche Bahn and even the local trains that aren't can be booked through their website.

In the west lie the cities Delmenhorst and Oldenburg and the Frisian islands. In the east you can travel to Verden , in the south to Osnabrück .

There are trains from the main station to the peripheral areas of Bremen (twice per hour to North Bremen, to Mahndorf via Sebaldsbrück and to Hemelingen.)

By bus/tram [ edit ]

Bremen offers an intensive public transportation network with trams and buses.

Public transport maps of Bremen are available in German . There are night buses and trams (indicated by an "N") running through almost the whole night on F/Sa and Sa/Su, departing at :30 each hour from central station. Fares on the night network are €1 in addition to normal individual, group or day fares (2013). You can buy tickets on the bus or tram, but is slightly cheaper to buy a set of 4 rides or a day pass for individuals or groups, or a weekly pass for individuals. Note that on trains, tickets must be purchased before you board. Public transportation timetables and ticket fares are available in English.

By taxi [ edit ]

Taxis are found nearly everywhere and every time, with a cost of about €1.25/km. There is no need to book a taxi in advance. Taxi drivers and call center employees may have difficulties to understand a phone call in English. The two main taxi companies are

• Taxi-Roland , ☏ +49 421 14433 .  
• Taxi-Ruf , ☏ +49 421 14014 .  

By bike [ edit ]

You can rent bicycles at the railway station and several bike shops in Bremen. See details in German only . Bremen is the most bike-friendly city among the biggest German cities. Its former mayor Hennig Scherf is an avid cyclist (who despite the wishes of his bodyguards rode his bike every day to his office or he simply walked to the office.)

See [ edit ]

The sports museum shows the history of the football club SV Werder Bremen. You can see photos, jerseys, trophies and more. €4 . ( updated Apr 2017 )

Do [ edit ]

• Stroll around the city center and visit the Schnoor-Viertel with its old buildings - most were built between the 15th and 18th century. If you are interested in art, visit the Bremer Kunsthalle (museum of art) with one of North Germany's finest collections.
• Football : SV Werder Bremen were promoted in 2022 so they play soccer in Bundesliga, Germany's top tier. Their home ground is the multi-purpose Weser-Stadion (capacity 42,000) on the north riverbank, 1 km east of city centre.
• If you want to see green fields, cows, and birds, visit " Blockland " [dead link] (site in German with some pictures) where thousands of local bikers and inline skaters go every weekend to enjoy the agricultural side of Bremen. It is located just north of the university, between the Autobahn and the meandering river Wümme. You can bike or skate along the dyke that contains the river, have traditional coffee and cake at Landhaus Kuhsiel or Gartelmann's Gasthof , or eat gourmet organic ice cream at Biohof Kaemena (they also sell organic milk and cheese). In winter there is no ice cream but there is ice skating on the river and many small canals. In warmer months it is also possible to rent a canoe or kayak to explore the nature preserve from the water.
• There is indoor ice skating at Paradice , the skating hall in Walle (site in German). Paradice is opened from October to February.
• A good way to get in touch with the locals is to stroll along the river Weser on the scenic Osterdeich , where - in good weather - lots of little groups hanging out on the grassy hills may invite you to barbecue with them or have a beer.
• Don't miss the beautiful Bürgerpark either, a large, well-maintained park right in the middle of the city, which has a little Central Park vibe to it. Have a drink in the renowned "Emma" Café, rent a boat and row around the ring-shaped pond, play mini-golf, visit the petting zoo, or simply sit on the grass and enjoy some tasty ice cream.

Farther away [ edit ]

Events [ edit ].

• January 6: "Eiswette": a funny tradition where a tailor checks if he can cross the river Weser without getting wet feet.
• February: Carnival in Bremen, more South-American than Cologne style.
• April: Easter market.
• June: "Breminale" music/art festival along the River Weser.

• November: International Cutter Race / "Kutterpullen" tournament (rowing contest on the Weser river).
• December: Christmas market around the town hall and Schlachte at the river Weser.

The monthly free event magazine MIX has hosts an event calendar online (German only).

Buy [ edit ]

• Kluten , are a traditional sweet from Bremen. They are cubes of peppermint, partly covered in chocolate. Hachez , near the Town Hall, is a traditional Bremen based chocolatier and their store is well worth a visit to buy the Kluten, though they are also available at many other places throughout the center.
• Schnoor is a den of tight lanes selling boutique style products including jewelry, African artifacts, paper models and a year round Christmas shop. There are also a lot of shops selling tourist souvenirs.
• Böttcherstraße , This wonderful Art Nouveau street has many outlets which cater to buyers of upmarket/high quality products.
• Weekly markets are held on most of the squares around the Town Hall.
• Lloyd Passage , Obernstraße , Sögestraße are the main shopping streets with all the main High Street chains.

M-Sa 10:00-20:00 . A shopping and leisure centre with a unique location directly on the banks of the River Weser. As its name and location suggest, there is always a fresh wind blowing through and around the Waterfront: shopping, feasting, cinema and events assure high spirits all year round. The centre offers more than 80 shops from fashion (Primark, Desigual, Tommy Hilfiger, Clockhouse and many others) to shoes, jewellery, athletic apparel and equipment to leather goods and gifts—nearly everything the heart could desire. To nourish visitors, there is a gastronomic selection of more than 15 different venues in the Food Court and on the outdoor terrace, with its Weser panorama. There are events held regularly in and around the Waterfront: fashion shows, exhibitions, concerts or activities for children—something for everybody. In the Food Court there is also a 25-m² screen where broadcasts of all Werder Bremen football matches and highlights of the German Football League can be viewed. Various prices .  

Eat [ edit ]

Several cafes and restaurants line the "Schlachte" [dead link] along the Weser river while other popular areas are the marketplace and the "Viertel" ("quarter") east of the Kunsthalle. Many traditional dishes from Bremen and Northern Germany are very satisfying. The region is famous for cabbage (Grünkohl- green cabbage), fish (smoked eel, herring, smelt in March), an old sailor's meal called Labskaus (lobscouse) consisting of mashed potatoes, corned beef, onions, fried egg and beetroot or chick ragout (very fine) as well as red fruit jelly or Butterkuchen (cake with yeast and topped with lots of butter, sugar and almonds). You can find some fish restaurants in Böttcherstraße . "Knigge" is the name of a traditional coffee house in Bremen.

Bremen culinary specialties are Knipp (smoked sausage), Labskaus, (fried corned beef with onions and mashed potatoes) and Braunkohl (leaf cabbage)

Is Bremen Worth Visiting?

Bremen is absolutely worth visiting! It is one of the most beautiful cities in Germany with years of history to explore. Truthfully, I liked it better than Hamburg!

The city is quite a gem for a quick trip since it’s small and easy to explore in a day. It’s super close to Hamburg, making a short visit a breeze.

The best part, aka my favorite part? Bremen’s has a unique Nordic flavor to its tasty eats, especially the seafood.

Pro Tip:  Even though I found Bremen to be super safe, I ALWAYS recommend getting   travel insurance  to avoid any mishaps. Lost luggage or getting sick can happen at any time.

Is One Day Enough In Bremen?

You can absolutely see all the best that Bremen has to offer in one day . But staying for 2 full days is optimal in my experience.

Don’t worry if your time is limited to a single day, arriving early will allow you to discover a substantial slice of what this city has to offer.

Where is Bremen Located & How To Get There?

Bremen is located in Northwest Germany , just southwest of Hamburg. It is situated on both banks of the Weser River, near its estuary into the North Sea.

Bremen is also a port city, with access to the major waterways of the Weser River that crisscross Europe. With a population of 550,000, it is one of the most important economic hubs in Germany.

The closest airport to Bremen, Germany is the Bremen Airport (BRE) which is located about 4 miles from the city center. Another popular way to visit Bremen is via train coming from Hamburg .

The train takes around 45 minutes from Hamburg and runs about every hour or so.

When you arrive at the main train station, you walk a few minutes to the “ Altstadt” city center of Bremen .

Here you are met with the most beautiful and fairytale-like architecture. Northern Germany is much different than southern Germany (Bavaria), both incredible for different reasons.

Here in the north, you will feel the influences of the nearby Nordic neighbors of Denmark.

What is Bremen Known For?

Bremen is a Hanseatic city and served as a major center for trade and commerce and was a member of the Hanseatic League . This league was a powerful trading alliance of merchant guilds from the 13th to 17th centuries.

Founded by cities including Lübeck, Hamburg, and Bremen, formed to protect their economic interests.

It was disbanded in 1669 but its legacy as a key trading post is still relevant today.

Top Sites in Bremen, Germany

Visit the bremen town hall.

Am market 21, 28195 Bremen, Germany

The Bremen Town Hall is an iconic symbol of the German city of Bremen. The Renaissance town hall was built in Gothic Style during the 15th century and has been the crown jewel of the city for centuries!

This most impressive building along with The Statue of Ronald has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site.

The Bremen city hall is home to several art galleries and museums where visitors can view a variety of medieval artifacts, including armor and weapons from the Middle Ages!

The Bremen Town Hall also hosts concert venues and markets throughout the year. The beautiful baroque hall with intricate stucco ceilings and frescos is the perfect setting for the town’s musicians to rejoice.

You will find the Bremen city hall in the market square along with the Bremen Cathedral and Bremen town musicians statue.

The Statue of Roland

The Roland Statue , one of the top attractions in Bremen, Germany, was erected in 1404 and can be found in the heart of Bremen in the market square.

Various cities have the Roland statues as a symbol of the city of civic liberty and freedom.

This former Holy Roman Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire was deemed the hero of the Battle of Roncevaux Pass.

The Roland Statue is a symbol of the city’s freedom. Bremen, Germany will remain free and independent as long as the bronze statue of Roland stands to protect it.

The Statue of the Brothers Grimm

The Brothers Grimm Statue in Market Square depicts Wilhen and Jacob Grimm, the brothers who wrote the beloved fairy tales such as Hansel and Gretel, Snow White, and Rapunzel.

This is the town musicians’ statue of Bremen, Germany. Located between the Bremen cathedral and the town hall.

The bronze sculpture created by Gerhard Marcks in 1953 stands over 12 feet tall!

You will notice the donkey’s legs and nose are now gold from tourists and locals grabbing the legs for luck.

Night Tour: Walking Tour with German Night Guard

Beck’s Windmill (Mühle Am Wall)

am wall 212, 28195 Bremen, Germany

Another famous site and must-stop is to visit the Bremen Windmill (Mühle Am Wall) . This iconic building in Bremen was built in 1898 and is open to the public.

The Bremen Windmill is one of the oldest working windmills in the world and has been in operation since 1540. Visitors can typically climb to the top for a 360-degree view of the city. *Check the official site for details.

The windmill is one of the reasons Breman has a whimsical reputation as a fairy tale town.

You don’t have to travel far to reach the windmill, which is located in the city center.

Check here for Directions .

St. Martin’s Church

Martinikirchhof 3, 28195 Bremen, Germany

St. Martin’s Church is a large 12th-century Luthern Church. It is the oldest church in Bremen is St. John’s church, but St. Martin’s church is one of the most important for its history and elaborate architecture.

The church was originally constructed as an abbey for Benedictine monks who resided in the church until the year 1803.

Enjoy the building’s Romanesque, Gothic, and Renaissance features and its beautiful stained glass windows.

Inside the church, you can find various sculptures dedicated to the saints and many great relics including the seven Bremen bishops and four archbishops.

Climb to The Top of St. Petri Dom (Bremen Cathedral)

Sandstrasse 10-12, 28195 Bremen, Germany

St. Petri church (St. Peter’s Cathedral) is a Lutheran church located in the city centre of Bremen that you can’t miss. The church dates back to the late Middle Ages and was built during the 15th century.

It is one of the few remaining churches in Northern Germany that have maintained some of its original Gothic design elements.

If you have the stamina to climb to the top , I would highly recommend it. While I visited on a very cloudy day, the views of Bremen from the top of this church were still breathtaking.

For more information and hours of operation, check the website here.

Small Shops in Bremen

Böttcherstasse 28195 Bremen, Germany

Nothing like a little shop till you drop on your trip to Bremen. You can stroll around the market square to explore everything this town offers.

Don’t miss the shops on Böttcherstasse, Obernstrasse, and Sögestrasse, located in the old town, containing unique souvenir shops and locally made goods.

These boutique shops are where you will find more unique souvenirs and gifts.

If you are looking for more traditional shopping like a mall, there is a MEIN outlet, Columbus Center, Weserpark, and Lloyd Passage to keep you busy.

The Schnoor Quarter

The Schnoor Quarter is Bremen’s oldest district and it gives the city the most fairytale-like vibes. If you don’t know where this little pocket of magic is, you could miss it!

I read about the Schnoor in another blog about Bremen and was incredibly grateful I did!

This medieval center of Bremen gets its name from the old handcrafts that are associated with shipping. These narrow streets and adorable cafes will have your heart.

It is one of the oldest parts of the city dating back to before the 13th century.

The traditional brick buildings and half-timbered houses create a unique atmosphere where the town musicians of Bremen come to life.

Enjoy a little coffee or cocktail outside one of the many restaurants that line these winding streets, it was by far one of the best things I did. You can not leave Bremen without adding this hidden gem to your itinerary.

And don’t forget your camera , I couldn’t get enough pictures of the architectural styles of these gorgeous buildings!

I love Bremen. It is such as beautiful city. This article made me wish I could go back and visit again. The Bremen Rathaus is one of my favorite buildings. If I remember my history correct, it isn’t nearly as old as it appears as it was reconstructed post-WWII.

Hi! I’m Vera from Portugal and I loved your article about Bremen! What a beautiful and useful article! 🙂

I have just booked a trip to Bremen and I´m going to stay at the Best Western Hotel Bremen City.

May you help me with some doubts? Do you think it’s safe to travel alone to Bremen? Is the hotel in a good location? Is it safe for a girl to be on the streets at night?

I hope you will be able to reply before I go (April 22nd) and thank you so much!

Hey Vera! I am so excited you are going to Bremen! It is one of my all-time favorites in Germany!

I did feel very safe on my own walking around in the evening. Mind you I don’t stay out very late, maybe 9-10 pm.

With regards to the hotel, I am going to send you an email, so look out for it. Check your junk mail if you don’t see it : )

Bremen Hbf (Bremen)

Welcome to the guide to taking train to Bremen hbf, which includes access to the station info and links to local local websites.

At a Glance

Left luggage, travel information desk, first class lounge, onward travel, bus station, accessibility.

At Bremen hbf the railway tracks are up above street level, so the platforms/tracks (gleis) are connected to the main station building by a passage way which is beneath them. In the middle of each gleis (platform/track) there are stairs and an elevator which link them to the passage way.

This passage way isn’t an ordinary subway because it houses most of the shops and food/drink outlets in the station. One end of the passage way opens out into the elegant main station hall, which dates from the 1880s and is at street level. On one side of the main hall is the ticket office and advance travel desks - the Reisezentrum. The left luggage lockers are in the passage way beyond the ticket office.

There is a large concourse right in front of the station and to the left of when exiting Bremen Hbf are the taxi rank and the tram station .

If you’ll heading to the far side of the historic old town area, which dominates the city centre, an option is to take tram lines/routes 4 – direction Arsten 8 – direction Roland-Center 6 – direction Flughafen (thereby providing a direct public transport connection between the station and the airport). All of these lines go to the stop named ‘ Domschiede’ which is located by the rear of Bremen cathedral – a 3 min walk from the main square in the heart of the city.

............................................................

Or this main square is a 12 – 20 min walk from Bremen Hauptbahnhof, walk straight ahead across the square in front of the station and then follow the tram tracks down the street named BahnhofstraBe.

Then keep the tram tracks on your left until you reach the edge of the heart of the city, which is on the other side of a bridge over a stream. The tram tracks will then bend to the left, but go straight ahead on the traffic-free street named SogestraBe and turn left at its far end.
