Wismar: Swedish Heritage and Raw Baltic Air

The weather in the Hanseatic city of Wismar is dominated by the Baltic Sea. This means a constant, fresh breeze that blows through the old harbor and the alleys of the UNESCO World Heritage old town. Summers are moderately warm, and the sunniest days are best spent by the water. The people of Wismar are used to the changeable coastal weather and know that a sweater can be a good companion even in summer.

Winters are cool, windy, and damp. Icy wind can significantly lower the wind chill. Snow is possible and transforms the huge market square into an impressive winter landscape. The weather in Wismar is raw, but honest and invigorating. It is the weather of a port city that makes the Brick Gothic architecture appear in ever new light and shapes the character of the people: resilient, pragmatic, and with a deep connection to the sea.
