Old town tour

City tours through the historic old town of Greifswald

The historical old city is the heart of the university and Hanseatic city of Greifswald and reflects the eventful history of the medieval city. Small, winding streets with melodious names reveal the profession of their former inhabitants, the former fortification wall presents itself as a testimony to the horticultural art of the 18th and 19th centuries and the influences from 200 years of Swedish crown can be discovered in many places.

Walk in the footsteps of this multi-faceted history and reveal many a secret. Who is tall Santa Claus, fat Marie and little Jacob? What do the Cistercian monks have to do with founding Greifswald? Who or what is the Wendelstein? The Greifswald city guides know the answers to all these and other questions.
