Shopping in Bremen
Bremen is a compact city and it is easy for happy tourists to reach just
about what is in store in the city looking for trendy clothes, antiques or
bargains. Of course, Bremen cannot compete against metropolises such as Paris,
Milan or London when it comes to department stores, shopping malls and specialty
shops, but the selection is by no means bad and significantly better than many
other cities of similar size.

Featured dining options in Bremen
We have selected some restaurants with good feedback in Bremen:
Kiefert in Unserer Lieben Frauen Kirchhof 27 is one of the
best and most enjoyable food places in Bremen without it being said to be a
traditional restaurant. What is it? Yes, a place where you eat the most aretic
German there is, a Bratwurst. Kiefert is located just off St. Peter's Cathedral
