Tips from the Community
Wismar and its fish stands are legendary – primarily because you can still get the fish right where it belongs: by the water. The Old Harbour is the heart of it all if you're looking for an authentic fish roll or freshly caught fish.

The Old Harbour of Wismar is much more than just a mooring place – it is the maritime heart of the city and one of the most authentic places on the Baltic coast. As Wismar is a UNESCO World Heritage site, the harbour has retained its historical charm without appearing like a museum village.

The observation tower in Wismar's Bürgerpark is a striking landmark of the park, offering impressive panoramic views of the Hanseatic city and its surroundings. It was built as part of the 2002 State Garden Show and, with its modern steel structure, blends harmoniously into the green surroundings. The tower is approximately 37 meters high, with a viewing platform at a height of approximately 28 meters. A freestanding spiral staircase with intermediate landings leads to the top, where a sweeping view of the Bürgerpark, the Bay of Wismar, and the rolling Mecklenburg hills opens up. On a clear day, the view even extends as far as the Baltic Sea.

A visit to the "Kutterkaten" fish restaurant at Wismar's Old Harbor is highly recommended. Here you can enjoy delicious fish dishes, with prompt and friendly service. It's also said to be the best fish restaurant in town!

A very beautiful and worth seeing harbor. When I was there (on September 7, 2025), three old sailing ships were also on display: a replica of an old cog from the Hanseatic period, as well as a three-masted ship and a two-masted ship.

Here you can find smoked fish specialties, fish sandwiches, fried fish, etc. Cruise ships are sometimes built here, too. Here's the Disney Adventure, one of the biggest! 😁😃! The biggest!
