Discover the ideal holiday rental for your stay in Bremerhaven

I was in Bremerhaven for three days and quickly ran out of places to visit, but if you live nearby and are only looking for a day trip, I think Bremerhaven is an excellent option. On the one hand, there are great museums and facilities, such as the Museum of German Emigrants or the Climate House, where I learnt a lot of things about German history that I didn't know and was really impressed by the technology and equipment. On the other hand, there are also great places to eat in the numerous fish restaurants along the harbour area. Something else I can definitely recommend to anyone is the Tiergarten am Meer, where you can see all kinds of marine animals that live in the North Sea.

Highlights include the Klimahaus, the wonderful fish restaurants and the Tiergarten am Meer with all the maritime animals.

An insider tip is definitely the Klimahaus in the Klein Bremen district, I was really amazed at how detailed and realistic the climate feels.

Bremerhaven is a good destination for a day out. Hm

Bremerhaven is a wonderful holiday destination. The highlight of my holiday was the museum ship Fms Gera. Here I was able to admire a breathtaking exhibition for a very good entrance fee. My personal insider tip is definitely the zoo by the sea. You can see a fantastic variety of species here. There are also some inviting restaurants. I recommend a visit to Bremerhaven.

The museum ship Fms Gera is super beautiful. The exhibition is marvellous.

My absolute insider tip is the Zoo by the Sea.

Due to the many museums

I spent a weekend holiday in Bremerhaven in July 2023 and would like to share my experiences. The city has two very interesting museums, the German Maritime Museum and the Bremerhaven Historical Museum. Culinary highlights can be experienced in the fishing harbour. There are numerous restaurants serving freshly caught fish and traditional seafood dishes. Beautiful walks and great moments of relaxation can be experienced on the Weser promenade. Whilst fish and boat lovers will get their money's worth, those interested in the countryside are more likely to come away empty-handed. So you should be aware of what awaits you in Bremerhaven.

There are a few sights in Bremerhaven that I found very exciting. I visited the German Maritime Museum, which will especially appeal to those interested in ships. Then I went to the Bremerhaven Historical Museum to learn about the city and its history. I also visited the fishing harbour. You can spend a lot of time there.

I would recommend the fishing harbour for several reasons. Firstly, it is interesting to see the fishing boats, and secondly, there are numerous restaurants serving freshly caught fish dishes. The Weser promenade is also worth a visit. It's a great place to take a stroll and relax.

Great city right on the water with very good fish restaurants

Even though it unfortunately rained a lot during our weekend in Bremerhaven, we really enjoyed our time here. We were particularly struck by how rich the city is in culture and history. We spent almost the entire time in museums, old buildings, the historic harbour and the shipyard. You can easily commute between all these places on foot and don't have to rely on buses, trains or cars. In addition to the cultural holiday, a visit to the zoo by the sea was particularly refreshing for us, as it is home to a variety of marine and land animals. I can also recommend the excellent fish sandwiches at the zoo. Unfortunately, Bremerhaven is not exactly cheap and is definitely one of the more expensive coastal towns.

One of my highlights is definitely the Zoo am Meer, which is home to all kinds of animals from the North and Baltic Seas as well as Nordic land animals

An absolute insider tip is the excursion to the Seutedern, which is an old Tore Shoes Museum ship that used to serve as a sailing ship

Bremerhaven is a great little place where, in my opinion, you can go on holiday if you like museums and are very interested in history and culture
