Highlights

Rostock

The city of Rostock dates back nearly 800 years as a Hanseatic and harbour city. With its 200,000 inhabitants, it is the largest city in the federal state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and is also the academic, cultural and economic centre of the state. The seaside resort town of Warnemünde with its unique flair is a magnet for both domestic and international tourists. Its "Alter Strom" was Rostocks only shipping lane up until the beginning of the previous century and today is an attraction for tourists from all parts of the world.

Rostock Basilica St. Marien

St. Mary’s is Rostock’s largest church and one of the largest brickstone gothic buildings in the whole Baltic region. For more than 770 years, it has been a place of prayer, worship, meetings of civil or academic character, and a place of the arts. About 150,000 people visit this church every year. It is not a museum but a meeting place of a vital city parish and for the citizens of Rostock.

Schwerin

Picturesquely sited around seven lakes (or possibly more depending on how you tally them), the centrepiece of this engaging city is its Schloss (castle), built in the 14th century during the city’s six centuries as the former seat of the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg. Schwerin has an upbeat, vibrant energy on its restored streets that befits its role as the capital of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Cafes, interesting shops and flashes of the area's regal past make wandering a delight. Put simply, it's one of the loveliest cities in Germany's north.

Schwerin Castle

Surrounded by a wonderful landscape composed of lakes and forests Schwerin Castle looks like a fairy tale castle come true. It is the landmark for the town of Schwerin and even more for the whole of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Until about 100 years ago it has been the ducal residence of the Grandduke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. Today it is still the center of power in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, because it is the seat of parliament. You can visit the museum at Schwerin Castle.
