What to see in Wismar

Nestled along the Baltic Sea, Wismar is a port city that exudes the charm and history of northern Germany. Its well-preserved architecture and scenic harbour make it a captivating destination. Visitors to Wismar are treated to a blend of historical splendour and serene maritime beauty.

Firstly, exploring the Old Town of Wismar is like stepping back into a medieval world. The town, designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a splendid showcase of Hanseatic League architecture. A walk through its streets reveals an array of stunning structures, such as the Alter Schwede, a magnificent example of Brick Gothic architecture, dating back to the 14th century. The heart of the Old Town is the Market Square, one of the largest in northern Germany, surrounded by gabled houses and historic buildings like the 17th-century Wasserkunst, an elaborate wrought-iron water fountain that once supplied the town with drinking water. The square is a lively hub where locals and tourists gather, making it an ideal spot for people-watching or enjoying a cup of coffee at one of the many surrounding cafes.

Another must-visit attraction is the St. Nicholas Church, a masterpiece of Brick Gothic architecture. This church, with its soaring interior and impressive altarpiece, provides an insight into the religious and cultural history of the region. The church’s construction began in the 14th century, and despite suffering damage during World War II, it has been meticulously restored. The tranquillity inside the church offers a stark contrast to the bustling streets outside, making it a serene spot for reflection. The panoramic view of the city from the church tower is breathtaking and well worth the climb.

No cruise to Wismar is complete without spending time at the historic harbour. Once the heart of the city's trade and commerce, the harbour today is a picturesque area, perfect for leisurely strolls. Lined with historic buildings and ships, it provides a glimpse into Wismar’s maritime heritage. One can see traditional wooden sailing ships and modern vessels, illustrating the evolution of shipbuilding and navigation. The harbour area is also dotted with restaurants and cafes, where you can indulge in local delicacies, particularly fresh seafood. Enjoying a meal or a drink with views of the boats and the gentle sounds of the sea is a delightful experience. The harbour also serves as a venue for various cultural events and festivals throughout the year, adding to its vibrant atmosphere.
