Your journey to your City Hotel in Bremen
The prizeotel Bremen couldn't have a better location. The Bürgerweide is exactly opposite of our hotel and the ÖVB-Arena with the convention center complex, the congress center and also the main train station are only about 350m from the prizeotel. You can reach the popular Schnoor quarter, the historic city as well as Bremen City by foot in only 10-15 minutes. As an alternative, you can also take a tram for 2-3 stops. You can also reach the Bremen Bürgerpark within a few minutes – a real highlight for athletic guests and outdoor fans that want to get out before breakfast.
Parking at the hotel
You can find parking with video surveillance right behind the prizeotel Bremen-City. There is a daily fee of 14 EUR. With this fee your car will be surveilled 24hrs with additional security at night. In October, during the Freimarkt at the Bürgerwiese (Bremen's 5th season), there's additional security and a fence. During that time the daily charge is 15EUR. We want to make sure your car is really safe.
Should parking at prizeotel be unavailable, you can park directly across at the Bürgerweide. The prizeotel team is happy to give you further tips, where you can park your car.
The Schnoor quarter is charming with its narrow half-timbered houses from the 15th and 16th century and narrow passages between the rows of buildings. Since the houses are connected to each other and resemble a string of pearls, the quarter's name comes from string or in local German dialect "Schnoor".
Guests can linger through this quarter which lies on the Weser River, stroll through the goldsmith and handcraft shops, take a break in one of the many cafes or restaurants, or shop for souvenirs to take home from this Hanseatic city.

Actually The Quarter is called Steintorviertel or Stone Gate Quarter, but nobody uses this name anymore for Bremen's cultural and trendy quarter.

Get off at "Sielwall" and you'll be in the center of the Quarter. Here you'll find retail shops with an individual assortment of goods. Trendy cafés, restaurants and bars guarantee that even after the shops close, the Quarter doesn't go to sleep.
The Universum is defintely worth a visit. From the hotel you walk about 300m to the main train station and catch tram line 6 towards "Universität". Get off at "Universität-Süd" and you'll have about a 450m walk to your destination.
