Your tour begins as you board a motor coach for a scenic, approximately 120-minute drive to Schwerin, the capital of Mecklenburg founded in the 12th century by Henry the Lion. En route, you'll travel on the famed Autobahn and take in views of the Northern German countryside.
Upon arriving in Schwerin, enjoy a comprehensive walking tour of the city, passing by the old market, the Town Hall and the Schelfstadt district, popular for its half-timbered houses, followed by some free time for strolling around and shop some souvenirs.
The Schwerin Castle will take your breath away as your guide details its countless accouterments. The former living, social and ceremonial rooms are now used by the palace museum to exhibit pictures, sculptures, furniture, weapons, medals, jewelry and other objects d'art. Keep your camera ready as you witness the Sylvester Gallery, the Red Audience Room and Floral Room.
Next it is time for lunch. Enjoy a two-course meal at a local restaurant in the historic city center.

Your narrated drive passes the impressive City Hall, historic St. Michaels Church and St. Nicholas churches, Parliament Buildings, old merchant warehouses.
