Ramada Überseehotel, Bremen

Advantages: Fun, lovely scenery
Disadvantages: I do not live there anymore

...I spent a year living in Bremen while studying Euro Finance and Accounting @ Uni. My year there was the best year of my life. There was so much to do shopping and night life wise. The tram and buses system were amazing. It was never more than a few minutes before a bus/tram came along and getting to the Hochschule was fun as it involved a bus and a tram ride. I would recommend it as a lovely place to visit/live/study. I did a lot of cycling as they had safe cycle paths. There were even Night Buses to use after a night down the pub. I found buying food quite expensive. I lived off pizza and pasta. The festivals were amazing.... Read review

...Bremen is a town of contrasts. I was there a few years ago on a training course with work for two weeks. On the outskirts there is a heavily industrialized area that is not particularly attractive. However the centre and especially the old town is full of character.

...Bremen is situated in the northwest of Germany, a larger city with about 500.000 inhabitant, 4 Universities, a big car plant and some history. As a tourist one can see a lot. The old Schnoor-Viertel or the Steintor-Viertel (for the alternative ones), big museums like the Kunsthalle (showing van Gough) the Universum ( a sciene park with some advantures) Have a diner at some good Restaurants at the Schlachte (ranging from Latin to Japanese), traditional German food at restaurants in the Schnoor) or Malaysian at auf den Hoefen). Enjoy a boottrip down the river Weser and see the port of Bremen, which is quit important for Germany. For the night go out to a Skarepierre performance or one of the other theatres in the Viertel, have a Cocktail at the Schlachte or a goof pint at a disco.... Read review
