Germany is a favorite destination for many tourists due to its natural beauty and fascinating history, but there are places that tourists may not have heard of before.
There is an underrated German city that some people consider to be even more exciting than the country’s capital, Berlin. This is reported by Daily Express.
One of the Hand Luggage Only travelers named a lesser-known German city as the best place to visit, praising its palace, restaurants, and surrounding lakes.
It is noted that Germany is a favorite destination for many tourists due to its natural beauty and fascinating history, but there are places that tourists may not have heard of before. One of these places is Schwerin, which the author has named the best German city to visit, stating that he prefers it over more well-known destinations such as Berlin, Hamburg, and Munich. Schwerin is the capital of the federal state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, a northern German state with a population of less than 100,000.
It is important to note that despite its small size, Schwerin has a lot to offer tourists.
Hand Luggage Only praises Schwerin for the Schwerin Palace, a thousand-year-old building that houses the Federal Parliament.
“Once you’re here, be sure to try the fresh seafood at LUKAS restaurant (it’s delicious). For a great stay, consider the Speicher am Ziegelsee hotel, located right on the waterfront,” they recommend.
The author is not alone in his opinion about Schwerin as a worthy tourist destination. Tourists describe its main attraction, Schwerin Castle, as a “fairy-tale castle” with “magnificent landscapes.”
It is important to note that other popular tourist attractions in Schwerin include St. Mary’s Cathedral in the city center, as well as the city zoo, the State Museum, and the Documentation Center.
Overall, visitors have a positive experience in Schwerin. One TripAdvisor user wrote:
“The main attraction is Schwerin Castle. You have to see it to believe it. It’s a stunning sight, standing by the water and overlooking the city.”
Another user wrote that Schwerin is a beautiful old city.
“I really liked the lake, and it’s the only state capital in Germany where the parliament is located on an island,” he added.
It is interesting that Schwerin has surpassed several popular German cities and has been named the best city to visit by the author of the travel notes. Hamburg is in second place on the list, followed by Berlin, Cologne, Leipzig, and Düsseldorf.
