But Bremen is not just home to commercial tradition – the north-western metropolis is especially characterised by its cosmopolitanism. And there are celebrations in Bremen year-round: Germany’s oldest folk festival - the Freimarkt –, the music festival, the maritime festival, Europe’s largest six-day race, musical and theatre highlights, notable art exhibitions, the traditional Christmas market with Schlachte magic along the Weser promenade … the Hanseatic City on the banks of the Weser is full of life and adventures.
