Bremen Greeter

Welcome!

Would you like to get to know Bremen with a local?

You want to know what life in our city feels like?

But be careful: Greeters are not tour guides but simply “friends in town”.

So … there are no maps, no book guides, open your eyes and just immerse yourself in our daily lives: …thanks to Bremen Greeter you will feel like a real “Bremer” for a few hours. Send us your request now.

Like many other Greeter destinations we are a non-profit project within the International Greeter Association.

What Greeters are?

Greeters welcome guests and take them on individual Greets through the city – without charge.

We love our hometown and like to give you an insight into our personal lives in Bremen. That is why accompany you through our town – entirely free of charge, as is customary among friends. You will experience very personal and individual walkabouts and you will hear about our workaday lives.

A complete sightseeing-tour to tourist-attractions is not what we provide, but we can tell you where you can get it.

Bremen wants to be discovered

Bremen has not only a picturesque old town and the city musicians to offer. Lively places in the “quarter”, hidden places, green oases are to explore. The former harbour area is transformed into an exciting new district.

A special part of the city is Bremen-Nord with its long history of seafaring, with lots of greenery in parks and gardens and with the international Constructor University.

Get tips for activities, restaurants and cafes. Discover Bremen with friends you didn’t know yet.
