Bremen's old town is packed with interesting and historical sights: the UNESCO world heritage town hall and Roland statue on the market square, the bronze statue of the Bremen Town Musicians from the fairytale by the Brothers Grimm, and the Schnoor quarter, a maze of narrow lanes and little gabled houses.

Roland statue, town hall and town musicians
The city's most important monuments are lined up around the market square. The Gothic brick-built town hall with its Weser Renaissance facade is one of Germany's finest. In front of it stands the Roland statue, a symbol of freedom and trading rights. Both have been included on the UNESCO world heritage list. On the western side of the square is the famous bronze statue of the Bremen Town Musicians from the fairytale by the Brothers Grimm. Little 14th and 15th century houses line the narrow lanes of Bremen's oldest quarter, the Schnoor.
