Discover Schwerin

Schwerin is the charming capital of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and is known for its seven lakes, green surroundings, and the impressive Schwerin Castle. Due to the many waterways flowing through and around the city, Schwerin is also called the 'Venice of the North.' An ideal destination for a relaxing city trip full of nature, culture, and history.

Slot Schwerin and the lakes

The fairy-tale Schwerin Castle is located on an island in the Schwerin Lake and is the icon of the city. With its many turrets, richly decorated halls, and beautifully landscaped gardens, the castle is an absolute must-see. In the museum, you can admire an extensive art collection, including works by Dutch and Flemish masters.

Schwerin is surrounded by vast nature and seven lakes. A boat trip with the Weiße Flotte is a wonderful way to discover the city and its surroundings from the water and enjoy the soothing landscape.

In the historic city center, you can enjoy shopping in charming streets, covered passages, and unique boutiques. The Schlosspark-Center offers more than 120 shops and opens onto the cozy Altstädtischer Markt, where you can relax at one of the many terraces and restaurants.
