Bremen

Divided by the River Weser and united by the rich architecture, Bremen encapsulates all the aspects of an ideal city. The European tranquillity combined with the modernism of the world makes Bremen one of the most stunning attractions with so much to offer. While Picasso and Rembrandt's masterpieces are housed in the Kunsthalle Bremen, the imposing Gothic facade of Bremen Cathedral marks the historic market square. Nestled between the town square and the river is Schnoor, one of the oldest and most picturesque neighbourhoods, dotted with buildings and restaurants from the 15th Century. While Bremen is reminiscent of the rich European Renaissance, the glistening shell-like building of Universum Science Center is a landmark of emerging science and technology. Located in the University of Bremen, the Fallturm Drop Tower, one of the most terrific scientific spectacles, is a 400 feet (122 meters) high tube tower for experimenting with microgravity. Replete with botanical gardens and the river that gushes through the city, Bremen is a blend of tradition and modernity all in one.
