The lively heart of the city beats in the old town of Greifswald. Small shops, pretty cake cafes and stylish galleries are hidden in the midst of gabled houses and brick Gothic architecture. At the market you can write your postcard over a cup of milk coffee or take a look at the St. Nikolai Cathedral on the way to the nearest boutique. The regional weekly market takes place on the market square four days a week.

Gastronomy, enjoyment and shopping in Greifswald
Restaurants & cafes
Whether fish rolls from the cutter, poppy seed cake in the gabled house or gourmet cuisine in the marina. If you take a closer look at the gabled houses and fishermen's cottages in the city, you can discover many a Hanseatic treat for the palate. Classic dishes are reinterpreted, young baristas rely on sustainable products and freshly caught fish comes directly from the cutter.

Shopping in the old town
The old town of Greifswald is crossed by a lively pedestrian zone, which begins in the west end near the zoo, crosses the market square and ends at the Mühlentor. Primarily owner-managed boutiques, but also well-known fashion houses invite you to go on a leisurely shopping spree. We strongly recommend that you take a close look at the side and parallel streets. You might find your new favorite here!

_________________________________________________
Am June 07, 2024 The Greifswald galleries were particularly in the spotlight, because then the 1. Long evening of galleries instead.
In a total of 13 galleries and exhibition rooms, you could look around, talk shop and enjoy yourself between 17 p.m. and 22 p.m. There was live music in many places.
