BREMERHAVEN tourist attractions

Bremerhaven is one of the most important German and European ports and a thriving cultural center in the northern part of the country. You can find here, among others German Emigration Center and many attractions related to the sea.

The city was founded in the 19th century as a port for Bremen, located about 60 km inland. It is located at the mouth of the Weser River, which creates a deeply cut out pool. Currently, it is the fourth port in Europe in terms of the volume of transhipped goods.

The oldest buildings in the city include the Old Port, which was created by widening the riverbed and the neo-Gothic Bremerhaven Lighthouse. Historic yachts and ships moor in the Old Port, some of which are open to visitors.

However, the submarine Wilhelm Bauer mooring in the new port of the port attracts the greatest interest of tourists. To admire the port and the ships entering it, it's best to go to the Arlantic Hotel, where the Sail City Observation Deck is on the 21st floor.

The city's entertainment and cultural life centers around the port. Its most important component is the modern, multimedia German Emigration Center showing the history of German emigration to the United States. It was from Bremerhaven that the first ships sailed to the "New World". An interesting place is also Klimahaus Bremerhaven 8 ° Ost, where you can go through exhibitions showing all the climatic zones of the earth, from the equatorial to the Arctic.
