How The Month Feels
December in Bremen feels calm and practical rather than scenic and bright. The weather is cool, damp, and often cloudy enough that indoor sightseeing becomes the main part of the day.
What To Lock In Early
You do not need to lock in every hour of the trip, and some flexibility will help around rainy days. It is worth mapping your indoor museum stops in advance so you can make the most of the limited daylight.
