Weserstadion: A review by a neutral fan

Football fans at Werder Bremen’s Weserstadion

I’m in Bremen quite often, mostly for work, but whenever I’m there, I always make sure to set aside a day to relax in this beautiful city. When I do, I sometimes pop into the Weserstadion, or if I’m in Bremen on a day when there’s no match, I’ll just have a look around the neighbourhood near the stadium, as the view alone is worth the trip. And it really isn’t far from my hotel or the station to the Weserstadion.

So it’s worth allowing for those few extra minutes, but of course it’s even better if I get the chance to attend a Bremen home match. I’m not a Werder Bremen fan, but that doesn’t matter. The stadium is wonderful and the Bremen fans are always welcoming. That’s why I’d like to write a brief but honest review of the Weserstadion in Bremen.

What’s the best way to get to the Weserstadion?

It’s only 3 kilometres from Bremen Central Station to the Weserstadion. In theory, you could walk this distance, but I haven’t tried it yet. I’ve driven there twice, which is really no trouble at all, as there are plenty of parking spaces at and near the Weserstadion. Otherwise, travelling by tram or bus is a good option. Both are available from the main station and the journey takes just under 10 minutes. A taxi is another alternative, but you should agree on a price in advance and try to fill the taxi with other fans so that everyone can share the cost.

What I know about the Weserstadion

I’m no expert on the Weserstadion; I just enjoy being there as a fan because I love the architecture and the welcoming atmosphere created by the fans there. I’ve never been given a hard time. Okay, things aren’t going well for Bremen this season, and I felt that during the last match too, as satisfaction with the home team’s performance isn’t always at its peak. The support, however, shows no sign of waning. Nevertheless, I can confirm that there are empty seats to be found in the stadium at some home matches, even though the Weserstadion only has a capacity of 42,100.

Incidentally, I find the history of the Weserstadion absolutely fascinating. It was built back in 1947, shortly after the war, and over the past few decades it has, of course, been modernised several times, ensuring that the Weserstadion is still fit for Bundesliga action today.

How much do tickets for Werder Bremen’s home matches cost?

Up until now, I’ve always focused on buying tickets for a seat, as I don’t want to stand in the stadium, but I’ve of course had a look, and standing tickets at the Weserstadion cost around 10 to 25 euros. My seat tickets have cost between 40 and 60 euros, depending on the opposition. I think the highest ticket price was for the match against FC Bayern Munich. Against smaller football opponents, ticket prices for seats at the Weserstadion are really very affordable. Cheaper categories start at around 20 to 25 euros. I haven’t had a VIP ticket for the Weserstadion yet, but I’m toying with the idea of taking up this offer in 2026 to see if it’s worth it.

The food at the Weserstadion is good

I’ll be honest: as far as I’m concerned, there aren’t any major differences when it comes to the food on offer at individual German football stadiums. Sure, there are a few minor variations. Some stadiums, for example, also offer vegetarian or vegan options, though that doesn’t interest me. But for the most part, it’s the same everywhere – the classic stadium fare, really. Bratwurst with a roll and ketchup or mustard, chips and a pretzel. An ice cream for the little ones now and then. You can get all of that at the Weserstadion too, and I think there are plenty of places to get food. Longer queues tend to form at the drinks stands – especially at half-time.

From beer to cola or apple spritzer, the range of drinks at the Weserstadion is absolutely satisfactory. The price is perhaps a sticking point, as it isn’t cheap. Families can end up spending as much here on a bratwurst and a drink as they would on a meal out. I think they need to rethink their pricing in future.

Share your experience

A family atmosphere: that’s why I enjoy visiting the Weserstadion

One big plus for me is the Werder Bremen fans, as they’ve always been very friendly to me on my trips to the stadium, even when I wasn’t wearing a shirt or a scarf. I’d almost go so far as to say there’s a family atmosphere at the Weserstadion, which makes match days at the stadium a truly enjoyable experience. On match days, you see lots of families with children, which really turns the football match into a celebration. The atmosphere in the stadium is generally good too, even though Bremen’s results in the 2025/2026 season haven’t always been convincing so far.

The Weserstadion in Bremen: I always enjoy going there

I’m certain that I’ll be happy to visit the Weserstadion time and again in the future. As 2025 draws to a close, I’m not sure if I’ll go there again this year, but I’ll be back in Bremen in January, and the home match against VfB Stuttgart in the middle of the month might just be the reason I buy tickets for that match. For me, the Weserstadion in Bremen is one of the most pleasant football stadiums in the Bundesliga, and if I had to rate it overall, I’d give it 7 out of 10 stars.
