Getting There

By air

Bremen airport (BRE) is located in the south-west of the town and offers flights to most bigger German cities and some European destinations. It`s easily accessible by public transport (tram line 6, about 20 minutes from the city centre) and by car. Major carriers are OLT [3] and Lufthansa [4]. 
 
By train

Regular and frequent services connect Bremen with the rest of Germany. There are trains nearly every hour to Hamburg in the north and Osnabrück, Münster and the Ruhr Area in the South as well as to Hanover. In the west lie the cities Delmenhorst and Oldenburg and the frisian islands.

By car

Autobahn 1 runs to Hamburg in the north and Cologne in the south but do check the traffic information! The A27 goes north to Bremerhaven and Cuxhaven and south towards Hanover, Braunschweig, Berlin and other eastwards connections.

Getting Around

By Foot

Much of Bremen (or at least the part frequented by travellers) can be negotiated by foot - the best way to explore the old city and its surrounding districts.

By Bus/Tram

Bremen offers an intensive public transportation network with street-cars (trams) and buses. For public transportation timetables and ticket fares see [5] (english).

By Taxi

Taxis are found nearly everywhere and everytime but they have got their price (about 1,25 EUR/km).

By Bike

You can hire bicycles at the railway station and several bike shops in Bremen. See http://www.adfc-bremen.de/ (German only). Bremen is a quite bike-friendly city mostly due to his former mayor who is an avid cyclist (who despite the wishes of his bodyguards rode his bike every day to his office.)
