The city of Bremen is known for its historic market square, where you will find a variety of sights. A apartment in the middle of the city centre is the ideal starting point to reach all hotspots of Bremen within a short walking distance. In addition, there are apartments in the Schnoor, on the Weser and not far from the Bürgerpark, which is ideally suited as a local recreation oasis.
Choose beautiful half-timbered buildings as your holiday homeBremen, with its historical character, still has countless buildings from the 15th to 16th centuries, in which attractively furnished apartments are offered for rent. But you can also rent such a building in its entirety as a vacation rental and enjoy the indescribable atmosphere. Bremen also offers individual rooms in guest houses and comfortable luxury suites in the city centre.
Pay attention to the optional extrasIf you want to travel to Bremen by car, when looking for a holiday apartment, pay attention to the parking possibilities in front of your front door, as parking is not possible everywhere, especially in the city area. The family-friendly vacation rentals often have a balcony, terrace or even a garden where you can spend relaxing hours. If you want to travel to Bremen with your dog, you should check with your landlord in advance whether you are allowed to take a pet with you.
