What to do when you have less than 4 hours to cover Bremen with kids? And all the time you have is between 17:00 to bedtime? Simple, stick to the oldest trick when visiting German cities. Head straight for the Marketplace. As with the medieval times where Marketplaces were the sources of commercial transactions, they have not lost their importance in today's world. Though today it's more of tourist magnet.
If you have time, Bremen is a very charming city, home to to dozens for historical galleries and museums, so there's plenty to see and do. If you are hard pressed for time, plus with two tired kids in tow, then take a nice stroll along the River Weser. There's plenty of happenings to provide enough distractions for the kids to keep on walking. Then head straight for the Altstadt, and try to follow the signs - with luck you will end up at the renowned bronze statue of the Town Musicians of Bremen. I said luck, because the signs takes you around like a wild goose chase. Haha.. We found it hidden between scaffolding of the church where the statue is erected.
