Bremen and Beyond

Discover Bremen and Germany

Your host city, the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen, has a history of 1,200 years and is famous for its Bremen Town Musicians, UNESCO World Cultural Heritage and its successful soccer team, Werder Bremen.

A quaint, friendly neighborhood with cafés, bike paths and shopping areas surrounds our campus. Bremen's seaport Bremerhaven offers further attractions such as the century-old Fishery Harbor and excellent museums.

Excursions

Bremen serves as the ideal starting point for trips throughout Germany and Europe. Students have the opportunity to travel cheaply and easily with Ryanair to destinations such as London, Venice, Barcelona, Stockholm, and Edinburgh. Moreover, convenient train connections make it possible to travel to Europe's metropolises such as Amsterdam, Berlin, Munich, Cologne, and Prague. The Jacobs student semester ticket also allows students to use public transportation for free within the region, including the regional trains to Hamburg.

Various organized trips will be offered, for example to the maritime city Bremerhaven, the Beck's brewery, the Mercedes Benz plant, and the Bergen-Belsen Holocaust Memorial.
