About
Quick facts: This riverside path along the Weser stretches over 2.5 kilometers through historic and modern districts of Bremen. Here you find both traditional ships and trendy cafes and street art, creating a lively mix.
Highlights: At the Schlachte-Zauber festival in summer, the promenade turns into a large open-air party with thousands of visitors and historic entertainers. Strolling by the water, you can often see unusual wooden rafts and colorful cutters telling stories of Bremen's maritime past.
Insider tips
