BRE Airport Overview
To help you plan your layover or overnight sleepover, here is a quick run-down about what to expect during your time at Bremen Airport.
What to Expect
Bremen Airport (code: BRE) consists of a main terminal (divided into Terminals 1, 2, and 3) and a separate building for Terminal E, which houses low-cost carriers. Most amenities are in the main terminal, including several shops and eateries, plus a 24-hour Kamps Bakery on the landside. Free WiFi is available to help pass the time. Economy class passengers can pay to enter one of the airport lounges. See Airport Lounges in the guide below for locations and rates.
Sleeping in Bremen Airport
Overnight campers seem to have little problem spending the night here, as long as you’re inside the main terminal before midnight. After midnight, the airport’s doors are locked, and only travellers with valid tickets for onward flights can stay inside. Do expect security guards to check your ID and boarding pass. Sofa-like, armrest-free benches are located in some hallways. Past reviewers complained about bright lights and annoying music that played repetitively all night. Have a sleep mask, earplugs, or noise-cancelling headphones handy to ensure a good night’s sleep! For uninterrupted sleep, hotels are nearby. See our Airport Hotels section below for more info.

Security & Safety
Sleeping in any airport can include a certain level of risk, especially when travelling alone. It’s important to take certain precautions to ensure your safety and the security of your valuables. Here are a few tips:
- Safety First. It’s a good idea to know where the security office is located and look for video cameras where you plan to sleep. You can also ask the security personnel for advice on the safest places to spend the night.
- Don’t Seclude Yourself. If you’re travelling alone, we recommend you stay near other travellers or close to security. This will help you feel more secure and deter potential thieves.
- Hide Your Valuables. It’s also important to hide your valuables. Don’t leave them out in plain view, as this could make you a target for theft. Additionally, if you are a deep sleeper, you may want to padlock your bag to something or sleep with your bag up against a wall to make it harder for someone to access zippers and pockets. We have received reports of sleepers who woke up without their phones and laptop bags. The travellers were left with just their headphones and laptop bag strap.
- Stay Alert. It’s best to stay alert and awake if you feel unsafe or uncomfortable. Drink coffee or other caffeinated beverages to help you stay awake, and remember that you can always catch up on sleep during your flight. These simple precautions can help you enjoy a safe night at the airport.
