Bremen Neustadt is a regional-only stop that most visitors can skip. ## Arriving at Bremen Hbf The station stands north-east of the old town on Bahnhofsplatz. About 100 long-distance and 410 regional trains use its nine tracks every day. The Messe and the ÖVB Arena are three minutes' walk from the north exit. For the Marktplatz, walk about ten minutes, or take tram 4 or 6 from the forecourt to Domsheide, about five minutes, on the edge of the old town. A BSAG customer centre on the forecourt sells tickets (Monday to Friday 07:00 to 20:00, Saturday 09:00 to 17:00), and many stops have ticket machines. A single ticket within the city costs €3.40 until the end of 2026; fares change on 1 January 2027. A single ticket is good for one direction only, so the return trip needs a new one. ## Trains from Bremen Hbf The fastest train to Hamburg Hbf takes 56 minutes, and up to 39 direct trains a day run there, regional services included. Hannover is 58 minutes away on the fastest train, also with up to 39 direct trains a day. Cologne takes 3 hours 2 minutes at best, with up to 20 direct trains a day. The ICE services run via Osnabrück and the Ruhr, with stops including Dortmund, Essen, Duisburg and Düsseldorf.
