BREMERHAVEN

Bremerhaven is a medium-sized town in the state of Bremen on the outer Weser in northwestern Germany. It is famous for its large harbor, one of the biggest in Germany for passenger traffic, apart from Hamburg. A political part of Bremen, Bremerhaven is geographically separated and surrounded by the federal-state of Lower Saxony. Bremerhaven retains its function as an important international harbor covering large area north of the city, but Bremerhaven is also a city of modern science: several scientific institutions lead by Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research are based in Bremerhaven. Furthermore, it has a fine selection of museums, galleries, family activities, events and shopping making it an increasingly attractive tourist spot at German North Sea coast.
