The jewel in the crown of Bremen's marketplace is the Rathaus (Town Hall) which, together with the Roland statue, is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. But what lies hidden behind its magnificent façades? Take a guided tour of the Town Hall to discover, and experience the magic of Bremen's illustrious history. Walking through the Obere Rathaushalle (Upper Hall) is like travelling back 600 years in time. From there, you'll catch glimpses of the "Güldenkammer" (the Golden Chamber), which really lives up to the splendour of its name.

BECK's Brewery Tour

From Bremen to the whole world: Beck's beer, probably Bremen's most successful export, in its distinctive green bottles, is still produced in the city centre. Take a tour around the brewery to discover the secrets of the brewer's art and interesting facts about the Beck's and Haake-Beck brands.

Every room in the Jacobs Haus, from the Heritage Store on the ground floor right up to the roof, tells you something about the company's history. From the highest point in the house, you also get a splendid view of the city. The many exhibits and information points on every storey lead you through the coffee manufacturing process step by step. Once you've reached the top, you'll see the impressively large coffee bean roasting machine with descriptions of the roasting process.

Azul

If you want to find out even more about coffee and the art of roasting coffee beans... cross to the other bank of the River Weser, opposite the Schlachte prome-nade, and make your way to Rösterei Azul, where they've been roasting coffee beans since 1949. Here, you can watch the massive drum roaster in action and go on a "voyage of discovery" to the different countries where coffee is produced. You'll be amazed and the intensity and variety of aromas.
