Jacobs University is based in the north of Bremen – a city with a maritime atmosphere and over 1,200 years of history. About half a million people live in Bremen, and it is easy to get around the city, which has a high quality of living. The historical market square, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is famous for Bremen’s mascots, the Town Musicians from the Brothers Grimm fairy tale. More than 30,000 students live and study in Bremen and nearby Bremerhaven. Bremen boasts a diverse cultural life with great restaurants, theater plays, concerts, festivals, or flea markets. The city is home to the ‘Freimarkt’, Germany’s oldest fun fair, and the traditional Christmas Market is a popular destination not just for locals. Centrally located in Europe and with an international airport close to the city center, Bremen is an ideal starting point for trips to destinations such as Hamburg, Berlin, Paris, Rome or Amsterdam.
