The Bremen Town Hall (Bremer Rathaus) is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This Gothic
and Renaissance-style town hall is one of the most beautiful in Europe. Its intricate facade
and historic council chambers make it a must-visit. The town hall also houses the famous

Musicians," and the city proudly celebrates this connection.
