"Bremen Transportation and infrastructures
Get in
By plane
Bremen airport (IATA: BRE) (ICAO: EDDW) is in the south-west of the town and offers flights to most bigger German cities and some European destinations. It`s easily accessible by public transport (tram line 6, about 16 minutes from the city center) and by car. Major carriers are OLT, Ryanair and Lufthansa.
By train
Regular and frequent services connect Bremen with the rest of Germany. There are two trains every hour to Hamburg in the north and Osnabrück, Münster and the Ruhr Area in the South as well as to Hanover. In the west lie the cities Delmenhorst and Oldenburg and the Frisian islands. There are also trains (via main station) connecting the peripher areas of Bremen
By car
Autobahn 1 runs to Hamburg in the north and Cologne in the south but do check the traffic information! The A27 goes north to Bremerhaven and Cuxhaven and south towards Hanover, Braunschweig, Berlin and other eastwards connections.
Get around
By foot
Much of Bremen (or at least the part frequented by travelers) can be negotiated by foot, the best way to explore the old city and its surrounding districts.
By Shared Car
Members of the Cambio car-sharing network, whether in Germany or Belgium, can hire cars - Bremen is the company's headquarters.
By bus/tram
Bremen offers an intensive public transportation network with street-cars (trams) and buses. For public transportation timetables and ticket fares see (English). There are night bus' or trams (indicated by an "N"), through almost the whole night, but not as frequently as in daytimes (hourly). Fares on the night network are one euro in addition to normal individual, group or day fares (2008). You can buy bus tickets on the bus or tram, but is slightly cheaper to buy a set of 4 rides or a day pass for individuals or groups, or a weekly pass for individuals. Note that on trains, tickets must be purchased before you board.
By taxi
Taxis are found nearly everywhere and every time but they have got their price (about 1,25 EUR/km).
By bike
You can hire bicycles at the railway station and several bike shops in Bremen. See (German only). Bremen is a quite bike-friendly city. Its former mayor Hennig Scherf is an avid cyclist (who despite the wishes of his bodyguards rode his bike every day to his office or he simply walked to the office.)"
