travel42 Port Guide: Wismar

travel42 Professional Cruise Port of Call Review

Halfway between Rostock and Lubeck on the Baltic coast is the pretty 13th-century-founded trading town of Wismar, once ruled by Sweden. It's featured in Murnau's famous vampire movie Nosferatu: eine Symphonie des Grauens, shot in the 1920s. Many beautiful old houses remain. It is also worth stopping to see the decorative early-17th-century waterworks and the church St. Nikolaikirche.
