Schwerin · 5 entries
Schwerin, the state capital of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, offers a compact but charming nightlife centered around the Pfaffenteich lake and the historic old town. The bar scene is small enough to explore on foot in a single evening.
Pfaffenteich & Mecklenburgstrasse
Mecklenburgstrasse along the Pfaffenteich is the main going-out strip. Bars and restaurants with lake views line up here, and their terraces are a particular draw in summer.
Old Town & Ziegenmarkt
Ziegenmarkt in the old town is home to traditional pubs with history and character. The atmosphere here is down-to-earth and inviting.
