One of the prettiest towns in Northern Germany, Schwerin is located in the area of many picturesque lakes. Its centre is a beautiful mixture of architectural styles of last five centuries. The real landmark of Schwerin is its castle that stands on the island on the biggest lake of the area. Besides lake and architecture, town offers tourists some fine museums, including State Art Museum that houses a remarkable collection of Dutch paintings. Despite of being capital and second largest city of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern state, Schwerin is still walkable, however you might need to walk for several days to explore all its sites.
