If you're up for some more sightseeing, begin at Town Musicians Of Bremen. This captivating literary work is a popular place to see in the city.
On your last day in Germany, take time to indulge in shopping at Bremen’s popular marketplace, Weserpark. Look for keepsakes or souvenirs to remind you of your trip.
Before you conclude your road trip in Germany, drop by another restaurant for a last chance at a memorable dining experience in Bremen.
If you're in the mood to try something new, consider Bolero Schlachte, another top spot with a mouthwatering menu.
