The Osterdeich embankment is the most popular place for Bremen locals of all ages to meet up and relax. Conveniently situated between the city centre and the Weserstadion stadium, the Osterdeich is the ideal location for barbecues, meeting friends or simply sitting and watching the sun go down. In summer, it's the venue for the Breminale: a five-day festival of music and culture held along the banks of the River Weser. And if you want to get that "holiday feeling", simply take the Sielwallfähre ferry across the river to the Café Sand: you will find a sandy beach and leisure activities, such as beach volleyball, which make it a popular destination for day trips. However, as any Bremen local knows: there's no telling what the weather will do.

This old sea captain's home offers a fascinating glimpse into the island's rich history in the areas of folklore and art. Entry into the building is through a gate made of two gigantic whale ribs.

The scenic stretch of highway N3 that runs from Fort-de-France all the way to Mount Pelée, better known as Route de la Trace, follows an old route carved out by the Jesuit missionaries of the 1600s, running through beautiful expanses of thick rainforest. Stunning hiking trails branch off from the main route should be thoroughly explored to get an idea of the wild natural beauty of Martinique.
