Shopping, culture and the sea right on the doorstep

The havenhostel is located in the heart of Bremerhaven, directly at the Kaiserhafen. From here, the popular student city is at your feet. Fresh air lovers enjoy the stiff breeze during a walk on the Weser dike. Others observe the hustle and bustle in the harbour. For those hungry for knowledge and for shopping queens, the Havenwelten offer unique places to go.

From Bremerhaven to the wide world - a saying with a long tradition.

This is where the most cars and the freshest fruit are handled, goods ranging from coffee and beer to heavy goods are imported and exported and, last but not least, Bremerhaven is known for the longest river quay in the world.

In the middle of the 19th century, the seaside town rose to become the largest emigrant port in Europe. From here, many people set out for America to seek their fortune.
