Must-see tourist destinations in Bremen include the beautiful and historic 13th century Cathedral St. Petri, found to the east of the Marktplatz, which encompasses sculptures of Moses and David, Peter and Paul and Charlemagne. With a more contemporary eye, a visit to The Weserburg Museum für moderne Kunst ("Weserburg Modern Art Museum,") in the middle of the Weser River, provides an interesting day out. Another famous attraction in the city is the Freimarkt, a fairground festival that has run in Germany every October since 1036. Taking place in the last two weeks of the month, it is a great opportunity to feel a part of Bremen's cultural history.
