Here you'll find an overview of the hotels you can book via Bremen Tourism.

You'll find our terms and conditions by clicking on Terms and Conditions and in the city tours catalogue.

We offer a number of different payment methods:
• PayPal (only for online bookings)
• Credit card (Visa, Eurocard/Mastercard and American Express)
• Direct debit
• Invoice (for bookings up to 5 days before the start date. Not available for online bookings.)

Payments for experiences such as entrance fees or tickets for city trips and tours are due at the time of booking.

You can pay for group bookings by invoice and bank transfer.

The Hotel packages fee is payable at the hotel. A hotel might sometimes request your credit card details as security when you make a booking. However, the card will not be charged if you do not arrive or if you have to make a cancellation.

If you select Package deals with choice of hotel, Bremen Tourism acts as your travel agency. You can pay either by PayPal or credit card when you make your online booking. If you make your booking with our Sales & Advice team or our group bookings team, you can also pay by invoice.
You can then pay the full cost of your trip up to four weeks before arrival. No deposit required.
If there are less than four weeks between the date of your booking and your travel date, the full travel price is due at the time of booking.

We offer the following options for hotel bookings:

• If you make an online booking, you can pay at the hotel and present your credit card as security. The credit card details you provided when booking are for security purposes only and payment will only be taken in the event of no-show without cancellation. The hotel will accept payment in cash, by debit card/Maestro card or by credit card.
• For bookings made with our Sales & Advice team or with our group bookings team, not every hotel will ask you to present a credit card as security. The hotel will accept payment in cash, by debit card/Maestro card or by credit card.
• If you make a booking at the "Hot Deal" special rate, the specific cancellation conditions for this rate mean that payment is due at the time of booking. To make this booking, you will need a credit card, which we will charge directly.
You will be informed about this when you make the booking.

We use secure technologies to safeguard our users. You make your booking with us in a secure area. SSL encryption is used to prevent your data from being accessed by a third party. The encryption process converts the characters you enter into a code which can be sent securely over the internet.
