One thing everyone gets wrong about where we live
Bremen is always cold and wet
What’s the coolest thing about Bremen that no one else knows about?
Fact 1: In Bremen there are over 600 bridges – in Venice there are only about 450! So Bremen is the real city of love
Fact 2: It has been said that the German fast food “Rollo” was invented in Bremen!
And also we have the key to the world but shhh…
What’s the one thing you have to do here when you visit?
Touch the donkey from the Bremen Town Musicians statue and make a wish – maybe it will be fulfilled. “The Bremen Town Musicians” is a folk tale of the Brothers Grimm.
And also all the seasonal events such as the Bremen Christmas market, the Breminale and the Freimarkt are Bremer traditions you have to attend!
Where do you go after work?
We often go to Jaya together. Authentic Asian cuisine.
Restaurant we take clients to
Only to the best ones.. but always somewhere different
Essential phrase in local language
“Moin” that’s how we say hello in Bremen; some non-locals also use “Moin Moin” but this is considered “too chatty” by the Natives.
