The next stop on our journey is Bremen. Fortunately our visit coincides with the beginning of the Bremen Christmas market, located just across the square from our hotel. We‘re at the Classico Hotel and if you ever get a chance to visit Bremen, this is a really nice, small, family-run hotel.
Old Town Bremen is a maze of small pedestrian walkways that are ringed with both small shops and major department stores. The main square consists of the cathedral, the Rathaus (city hall), the regional government and our hotel.

The square is currently Christmas market central and full of food vendors. We have now sampled a variety of beverages - Eierpunch (eggnog), Glühwein (both red and white), and the special Bremen wine punch which had a real kick since there were other alcohols involved. We‘ve started a collection of commerative mugs from each vendor.

The weather has turned colder and it‘s finally beginning to feel like the holiday season. We‘re hoping for a bit of snow here before we head back to the semi-warm south! In the meantime we bundled up and enjoying walking around and seeing the sights.
