Historic Centers of Stralsund & Wismar UNESCO World Heritage Site:
Wismar's history began in the times of Wendish tribes. It was founded in 1229.
Start your tour with a scenic walk from the pier to the historical city center -- a UNESCO World Heritage site. Pass along cobblestone streets with Gothic houses, Baroque buildings and Renaissance façades to see the Town Hall and merchants' houses dating from the Middle Ages.
You've come to the right place for good beer. In the Hanseatic period, the citizens of Wismar drank Mumme -- a strong dark beer that was safer to drink than the water. Enjoy a taste of local beer along with a pretzel, all within the nostalgic atmosphere of the Brauerei am Lohberg. This local microbrewery and pub first opened in 1452.
Please note: Tour requires walking 1.5 miles (2.4 kilometers) over uneven and cobblestone surfaces. There are twenty steps at the brewery. Wear comfortable walking shoes. Not advisable for guests using a wheelchair or for those with mobility limitations. Minimum age to sample alcohol is 18 years, younger guests will be offered an alternative. Use of an audio headset (included) will enhance your tour experience. Tour operates rain or shine, but may be cancelled by the operator in the event of extremely bad weather or unsuitable conditions. Bring euros (€), as most shops do not accept US currency or credit cards for small purchases. Use of public restroom facilities costs 50 cents - €1 cash. Shops are closed on Sundays and bank holidays; a few souvenir shops may be open.
