OVERVIEW
Explore the considerable highlights of Schwerin, a fairytale city founded in the 12th century around a collection of sparkling lakes. After a leisurely drive inland to the historical state capital, you will arrive at the 635-room Schwerin Castle. The castle is the former residence of the grand duke and the present seat of parliament of the federal state of Mecklenburg-Pomerania. Lush gardens and verdant parkland surround the multi-domed castle, which sits majestically overlooking the coast of an island. Inside, you may browse the heavily gilded dining hall, the lavish floral room and the precious paintings that line the walls of the castle’s Sylvester Gallery. The displays of weaponry, porcelain and silver are equally spectacular. More architectural wonders await you on the guided walk through Schwerin’s atmospheric downtown, including the 19th-century Mecklenburg State Theater and the Gothic-style cathedral, the city’s oldest building. Time will also be allotted for you to wander about Schwerin independently and perhaps dine on your own.
