Right in front of this building another Unesco World Heritage item will no doubt catch your eye: the statue of Roland. Erected in 1404, it represents Roland, paladin of the first Holy Roman Emperor Charlemagne. Roland is shown as protector of the city: his legendary sword is unsheathed, and his shield is emblazoned with the two-headed Imperial eagle.

We will continue to the very close by Protestant main church, Cathedral of St. Peter. This 1200 years old building, dominates the main square. Inside, you will admire the fine painted details on the ceiling or, if you think you are up for it, climb the 265 steps for a breathtaking panoramic view of the Old Town, defiantly worth a look! Next, we walk around the Town Hall all the way to another very popular tourist attraction: the famous statue of Bremen Town Musicians Let your guide take you back to your childhood while listening to the famous fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm.

Proceed to one of the nicest areas of Bremen: Böttcherstrasse (Coopers Street), the incredible Art Nouveau Street dating from 1920 that runs from the main square towards the river. Admire the many fine façades and courtyards all with large amounts of design detail while passing by many house artisanal shops and art museums.

The next and final place to be discovered is the Schnoor Quarter, an area of mazes of twisting lanes, winding alleys, boutiques, restaurants, cafes and galleries. Once part of the fishermen's quarter and later red-light district, this area is one of the loveliest little corners of Bremen.
