Introducing Schwerin
Schwerin is an unusual beauty. No photo could convey the charming architectural mishmash of its landmark castle, while its watery landscape of seven lakes – or possibly more depending on how you tally them – is not what you’d expect from this nook of northeastern Europe.

More than this, in its rush to forget its 45 years of communist rule, parts of Schwerin seem to be in denial about the past, oh, 300 years. This former seat of the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg is an interesting mix of 16th- to 19th-century architecture, and in some of its restaurants you’ll find yourself thinking you’ve slipped back in time to that era.
