Day trip to Schwerin
Experience an unforgettable day trip to the state capital of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
Schwerin, the “City of Seven Lakes,” enchants visitors with its unique location and historic charm. The city is the smallest state capital in Germany, yet it is precisely this manageable size that makes it so special. The cityscape is characterized by magnificent historic buildings, expansive bodies of water, and lovingly restored half-timbered houses. The winding alleys of the old town, the traditional market squares, and the diverse cultural institutions make Schwerin a perfect destination for culture and history lovers.
A special highlight is Schwerin Castle, perched on an island in Lake Schwerin. With its intricate turrets, magnificent facades, and picturesque gardens, it is reminiscent of a fairytale castle. Once the residence of the Grand Dukes of Mecklenburg, it is now the seat of the state parliament of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and an impressive testament to northern German architectural history. Numerous legends surround the castle, including the story of the castle ghost, “Petermännchen,” who is introduced to visitors on a guided tour.
