Bremen's rich seafaring tradition on the Maritime Mile in the Vegesack district has a long history. The area boasts Germany's first man-made harbour, built 400 years ago, and the country's last fully-rigged sailing ship. The best time to visit the Maritime Mile is during summer evenings to watch the sunset.

The Bremen Town Musicians is a fairy tale by the Grimm brothers that has brought fame to the city of Bremen. The story is about a donkey, a dog, a cat and a rooster in search of a better life in the city of Bremen, where they plan to become musicians. Today, a two-metre tall bronze statue stands on the left, western side of the town hall to pay homage to this popular German tale. It depicts all of the characters on top of one another, with the donkey as the base. If you decide to visit it, make sure if you grab both of the donkey's front legs for good luck.

At 517 metres, Pico do Facho is the highest point on Porto Santo and one of the island’s most spectacular viewpoints. Its name comes from facho, a signal fire once lit here to warn the local population of approaching pirate ships. The trail to the summit is moderately easy, suitable for most walkers who are comfortable with uneven terrain and a bit of uphill hiking. It typically takes around 2 to 2½ hours for a round trip at a leisurely pace. Along the way, the trail offers occasional lookout spots where you can pause to take in the island’s volcanic ridges and sweeping landscapes. Once at the summit, you’ll be treated to full 360-degree views: the island’s long golden beach stretched below, rugged volcanic hills rolling inland, and the Atlantic fading into the horizon.
