The venerable university and Hanseatic city of Greifswald, located just a few kilometers from the beach of the Greifswald Bodden, boasts a history of over 750 years. Thanks to the peaceful handover of the city in 1945, many historical buildings and streets have been preserved, showcasing the flourishing period of Greifswald during its time as a member of the Hanseatic League. Impressive red brick churches, magnificent Gothic gabled houses, and traditional sailing ships at the museum harbor captivate visitors from all over the world. At many locations, one encounters the city's most famous son, Caspar David Friedrich, who captured his hometown in numerous paintings and drawings. The city tour takes you to the most important sights of Greifswald. On foot and in one day—of course with the necessary breaks to experience Greifswald's hospitality—you can discover 750 years of city history.
