Marketplace Wismar
The market square in Wismar is one of the most beautiful places in Northern Germany and is an absolute highlight for convertible drivers who love history, architecture, and maritime flair. With an area of almost one hectare, it is among the largest market squares in Northern Germany and forms the vibrant heart of the UNESCO World Heritage City. Those who arrive at the square in a convertible immediately feel the special mix of Hanseatic history and Northern German calm. A convertible tour in Germany leading to the Baltic Sea would not be complete without a stop in Wismar, especially at the market square.
Historical backdrop with Hanseatic charm
Surrounding the market square are magnificent townhouses from various eras. Particularly striking is the Neoclassical town hall with its bright façade, which dominates the square. Next to it, you can find the imposing "Old Swede," one of the oldest buildings in the city and a prime example of Northern German brick Gothic. The Wismar water feature in the center of the square is also a real eye-catcher – a Baroque structure from the 16th century that once served as a drinking water supply. All these sights are located right next to each other and can be wonderfully explored during a short walk.
Those arriving by convertible will discover further historical buildings nearby that make Wismar a unique destination, including the churches of St. George and St. Nicholas. These buildings testify to the former significance of the Hanseatic city and can be seen from afar as you approach Wismar via the country roads.
The market square as a perfect stop for convertible drivers
A trip to Wismar is appealing not only because of the architecture but also due to its relaxed location on the Baltic Sea coast. From here, you can continue your convertible route along smaller country roads towards the island of Poel or Lübeck. The market square is the ideal place to take a break during your drive, enjoy the view of the historic facades, and sit down at a café.
Whether you are planning a multi-day convertible trip to the Baltic Sea or just want to make a stop during a larger convertible road trip, Wismar and its market square offer an unforgettable experience. The combination of history, maritime charm, and the variety of convertible routes in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern make this place a must for convertible drivers.
