Ducal Palace was located on a peninsula formed by the merging the Aller River and River Fuhse. In 1433 a channel was created here. It transformed the center of Celle into the island.

Starting from 1705, when the Duchy of Brunswick - Lüneburg has started losing its power and the city has fallen under the influence of Welf dynasty (Hanover line).

Your tour will start in the historical Market Square, in front of the impressive Town Hall. Listen to the story of one of the finest Town Hall in the whole Europe, a building that got its well-deserved status as a Unesco World Heritage. Right in front of this building another Unesco World Heritage item will no doubt catch your eye: the statue of Roland.

Proceed to one of the nicest areas of Bremen: Böttcherstrasse (Coopers Street), the incredible Art Nouveau Street dating from 1920 that runs from the main square towards the river. Admire the many fine façades and courtyards all with large amounts of design detail while passing by many house artisanal shops and art museums.The next and final place to be discovered is the Schnoor Quarter, an area of mazes of twisting lanes, winding alleys, boutiques, restaurants, cafes and galleries. Once part of the fishermen's quarter and later red-light district, this area is one of the loveliest little corners of Bremen. After free time we return to Hanover.
