Busking in Bremen

After Lübeck we wanted to go to Cologne but we found the distance quite big so we decided to stop in some cities before. After hitchhiking a lot in Skandinavia we use carpooling once again cause it's cheap and confortable.

Bremen

Bremen , Am Markt

Laws:
We didn't have the chance to ask somebody, but it seems pretty relaxed. We saw a lot of buskers playing on the streets, probably you have to move every half an hour but it seems nobody really cares. People like music so buskers are welcome :)

Passage

Our experiance:
After a long time we found a nice tunnel where we could play :D The acoustic is really nice. We made our average amount of money(10-15euros per half an hour) so we were satesfied with it. :) Lately we dont really struggle to make more than what we need, and it's really relaxing like this.
We didnt try to sing in any other places, but I made a map where I think busking would work(we saw others playing there).

The green dot is where we played and the rest are where other musician played. I hope it's helpful for everyone. :) But I still write down the names of the places.

Places to busk in Bremen:

• Am Markt (for bigger bands)
• Schüttingenstrasse (both ends of the street)
• The passage
• next to the river (there are a lot of Caffé's)
• Sögesstrasse

Bremen is a nice city for busking maybe not as good as Hamburg or bigger cities in Germany but its very relaxing to play here.:)

Busking in Szeged

Yesterday and today we finally tried our luck at busking in Szeged. It wasn't at all bad as we expected since it's a small city. Actually it's, from what we can tell, as good or almost as good as Budapest, given that the average amount we made in the two days was 2000 huf/hour(7 euros). 

Here is the first video that we made. Sorry for the relatively low sound quality but I was a bit far.

This video was made on Kárász street (the main shopping/walking street) in the center. We haven't really tried any other places yet but we might not have enough time to play somewhere else in the City. But I am quite sure if you play in the center somewhere like Dugonics square, Széchenyi square or anywhere in the center you can make the same as we did(depending on what you play,the weather,the people and so on).

We met with some other buskers and they said that for the big squares you don't need a permit but for Kárász utca where we played it's kinda banned, but if you don't annoy old people, nothing bad will happen:P

We will try to busk more these days and try to "paint" a better picture of busking in Szeged.
