The Harbour Bus
travel by double-decker bus through the overseas harbours, simultaneously enjoying the
city tour along the “ocean mile” of Bremerhaven.
The city by the sea
has a maritime side that has so far remained hidden even from the majority of Bremerhaven‘s population. But that‘s history now.
The HafenBus
travels through the overseas harbours, via the impressive Container Terminal and the
Automobile Terminal with the „high and heavy area“ in the northern part of the city. In
the past, due to security reasons no access to this industrial-commercial terrain was
possible for interested visitors. But this problem has been solved. One of the most fascinating sections of the harbour can now be admired at close range by our guests.
Departure times:
16. März 2013 – 3. November 2013:
Mon. – Fri. 14.00 Uhr und 16.30 Uhr
Sat./Sun./holiday* 11.00 Uhr, 14.00 Uhr and 16.30 Uhr
