The port city on the Baltic Sea is definitely worth a visit because of its well-preserved old town. It is also on the UNESCO World Heritage List along with the Hanseatic city of Stralsund. Gothic architecture on churches and numerous historic houses bear witness to the Hanseatic era, when Wismar experienced a great economic boom. The 16th century waterworks on the market square are the city's landmark. Typical Mecklenburg cuisine with hanseatic flair is available in the restaurant Hotel Reuterhaus.

True to the motto "There is no such thing as bad weather, there is only the wrong clothing", we recommend a walk on the beach - even in the rain. Protected by a warm rain jacket, a cozy scarf and colorful rubber boots, nothing can stop you! Afterwards, the hot drink tastes even better in the dry and with a view of the gray water and the wild sea outside.
