Guided tours of Greifswald's historic Old Town
The historic Old Town is the heart of the university and Hanseatic City of Greifswald and reflects the eventful history of this medieval city. Narrow, winding alleys with melodious names reveal the professions of their former residents; the old fortification wall stands as a testament to 18th- and 19th-century landscape architecture; and the influences of 200 years under Swedish rule can be discovered in many places.
Follow in the footsteps of this multifaceted history and uncover many a secret. Who are “Tall Nicholas,” “Fat Marie,” and “Little Jacob”? What do the Cistercian monks have to do with the founding of Greifswald? Who or what is the Wendelstein? The Greifswald city guides know the answers to all these questions and more.
Tickets can be booked in advance via the Greifswald-Info website or on-site.
