   Prepare your camera to capture Schwerin's highlight: the romantic Schwerin Castle, often called the "Neuschwanstein of the North." Set on an island in Lake Schwerin, this fairytale palace is one of Germany's most recognizable landmarks. Continue to the State Museum, home to a collection of more than 100,000 artworks, including works by the Old and New Masters, before passing the historic Schwerin Theatre, an elegant 19th-century building that remains at the heart of the city's cultural life. Journey through the Main Market Square to admire the City Hall before reaching Schwerin Cathedral, a striking 13th-century Gothic church dedicated to the Virgin Mary and Saint John.
