Is Bremen worth visiting?

Solo travel

I felt safe, Bremen has a lot of horse farms to offer, you can learn to ride and after lessons swim in the river that flows through the whole of Bremen, I think it's a great location for solo travel because there are many green pastures and warm people, you can make friends by going outside where people do different kind of sports, I recommend Wasserhorst in Bremen, was best.

On my street only one house got robbed, except that I wouldn't be scared to go at the night alone for a walk, you can go alone without a problem, I saw people doing it even at 23, but it wasn't the center of Bremen, i was living 10 minut by car from the center, overall I recommend this place, i really felt okay

About Me

I am 24 years old, leaving in Bremen for 1 year and a half. I love science, nature, hiking, bouldering, hanging up with friends and everything new you show me 😆 I come from Valencia (Spain) but I'm studying for a masters degree in the university of Bremen (Microbiology) and I would love to meet more people around the world. I am interested in having nice conversations and discovering new cultures and new ways of understanding life.
