Itinerary

1. Prepare your camera to capture Schwerin's highlight: the romantic Schwerin Castle, often called the "Neuschwanstein of the North." Set on an island in Lake Schwerin, this fairytale palace is one of Germany's most recognizable landmarks. Continue to the State Museum, home to a collection of more than 100,000 artworks, including works by the Old and New Masters, before passing the historic Schwerin Theatre, an elegant 19th-century building that remains at the heart of the city's cultural life. Journey through the Main Market Square to admire the City Hall before reaching Schwerin Cathedral, a striking 13th-century Gothic church dedicated to the Virgin Mary and Saint John. Once one of northern Europe's most important pilgrimage sites, the cathedral was renowned for a reliquary believed to contain a drop of Christ's blood. Together, these landmarks offer a fascinating introduction to Schwerin's royal heritage, artistic legacy, and medieval history.

About Rostock

Rostock is an old Hanseatic port on Germany's Baltic coast, with brick Gothic churches, a historic university and the beach resort of Warnemünde.

Rostock grew rich as a Hanseatic trading port on the Warnow river, and its university, founded in 1419, is among the oldest in northern Europe. The brick Gothic Marienkirche holds an astronomical clock from 1472 that still keeps time. The Neuer Markt is dominated by the town hall, whose seven slender turrets rise above a baroque front, and the Kröpeliner Tor is a medieval gate at the end of the pedestrian street.
