Rathaus

On the Market Square is the historic Rathaus displaying an unrivalled Renaissance-style façade. It is called to be one of the most splendid buildings in northern Germany. You can only visit the interiors as part of a guided tour (Mon – Sat 11am, noon, 3pm and 4pm, Sun 11am and noon, entrance fee 5,- DM), but it is worth it to see the extrames of Bremen’s civic pride: rooms awash with gilded wallpaper and ornate carving etc.
