About
Quick facts: The market square houses the Roland of Bremen, a 5.47-meter-high sandstone statue standing since 1404 for freedom and market rights. The town hall impresses with its over 600 years old Weser Renaissance facade and has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2004.
Highlights: The sculpture of the Bremen Town Musicians stands directly at the market square and is a popular photo motif. In December, the market square transforms into a Christmas market with over 100 stalls offering regional delicacies and handicrafts.
