Bremen

On our way back from Lithuania to the UK after the winter holidays, my friend and I made a short stop in Bremen, as you do. We were only there for one day but seems like we managed to fit in a lot of what this lovely city has to offer.

Having always associated Bremen to the Bremen musicians it was a surprise to themselves advertising themselves as 'Bremen- city of trams'. Trams? Really? Oh Bremen, give yourself more credit. Not that I have anything against trams, they're great, just not the reason I would go somewhere... Bremen: come for the trams, stay for the music :P 

After filling up on some flammkuchen at one of the only open cafes we could find in the area (great thinking flying on a Sunday...) we set off to the old town in search of the Bremen musician sculpture - the one monument we could not miss.

Feminist traffic lights ftw!

Having successfully found the sculpture, overjoyed that we managed to take some photos without other people in the way and inspiring others to take pictures with poses we used, we set of to the narrow streets of Schnoor, another must see in Bremen. 

We decided to walk back to the tram stop via an alternative route walking passed by a very artsy area unfortunately not so lively as again, Sunday... However, many more touristy areas were accidentally found which led to us managing to see practically everything the city guide recommended seeing.

Funky side of Bremen

We finished our day at a restaurant splitting a traditional dish and made our way back to the airport where our journey back to the UK was with its own surprises, Ryanair never fails to make your journey an experience...

All in all, loved Bremen, Such a cosy and lovely city, would love to come back someday in the future, maybe not on a Sunday, to experience it in a more lively light.
