#### Find Wismar’s most splendid architecture as well as shops, restaurants and markets in and around this plaza, one of the biggest in northern Germany.

Wismar was built around its Market Square, which was set out on a 2.5-acre (1-hectare) lot at the time of its construction. Imposing in size and surrounded by both civic buildings and patrician townhouses, it hosts all sorts of civic events and festivities, including the city’s annual Swedish Festival and a triweekly farmers market. Visit Market Square today for the perfect place to get acquainted with Wismar and its people.

Walk slowly around the edge of the market, identifying the varied architecture built by generations of Wismar burghers. Start on the northern side in front of the 19th-century neoclassical town hall, whose white facade and columns exude authority. Stroll clockwise on the cobbled sidewalk and note the beautiful brick Gothic facade of the “Old Swede,” a 14th-century patrician’s home that is the oldest townhouse in the city. Look for the Wasserkunst, a 17th-century fountain that was once the main source of water in the city.

Come on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays for the weekly farmers market, featuring produce and products from the surrounding region. Savor Mecklenburg cuisine in one of the square’s traditional restaurants. Be adventurous with eel in dill sauce, try the favorite sweet-and-sour combination of roast pork with prunes and complete the meal with the region’s favorite sea buckthorn berry cake. Try locally brewed beer or simply stroll around the market, enjoying the atmosphere before heading off for an exploration of Wismar’s streets.

Market Square is located in the center of Wismar’s Old Town. On foot, reach it in 10 minutes from the train station or 20 minutes from the port. Find parking in the square itself, though it can be tricky to find a spot on market days. The weekly market is held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from morning to late afternoon and on Saturdays from morning through lunchtime. The square is always accessible however, on Sundays, as in the rest of Germany, many restaurants, museums and shops may be closed.
