Warnemünde, Germany- This 5 hour tour visits the beautiful city of Wismar where you enjoy a walking tour plus a visit to a local brewery to taste German beer and the famous fresh pretzels.

After meeting your guide at the pier you will depart immediately for Wismar. The city was founded in 1229 and was among the first cities established in the Mecklenburg region. Aa small stream to the east gave the city its name.

The city was situated on a popular East / West trading route for hundreds of years. Because of this, people from far away fell under the spell of the rapidly blossoming city. Merchants, guild-Members, barrel makers, pickler’s, sailors, fishermen, traders and builders were drawn in from many lands and soon created a flourishing and friendly city.

In consequence of the thriving trade, pirates were also present. Klaus Stoertebecker, a legend in his own time and a well-known freebooter, lived in Wismar from 1370 to 1386.

When you arrive in Wismar you enjoy a walking tour which will give yo a glance at this quaint Hanseatic city, which is listed as a UNESCO world Heritage Site.

You will walk along cobbled streets with Gothic houses, Baroque buildings and Renaissance facades. The Classic Rathaus (Town Hall), the Water Tower, the historic drainage system and merchant houses from the Middle Ages, are just some of the fascinating buildings this town has to offer. 

After your walking tour you enjoy a short amount of free time before you get the chance to enjoy a German beer tasting.

In the Hanseatic period, the citizens of Wismar drank Mumme, a then widely acclaimed strong dark beer. Hops were cultivated in 148 hops gardens and in the 15th century there were 182 brewers. Over 400.000 hector liters of beer was produced annually, and shipped along well-worn trade routes to many European countries. Of course, good beer is still available in the Wismar of today and you will have the opportunity to vouch for that.

Enjoy a beer tasting and a traditional German snack within the nostalgic atmosphere of the Brauerei am Lohberg, a brewery and pub that started in the Middle Ages, where you will also have the chance to sample the medieval Mumme beer. Though it is not as strong as it used to be, it is still very tasty.

With smiles on your faces, you will be taken back to the pier in Rostock / Warnemünde.
