A land of beautiful lakes and woodland, pretty heritage towns and a striking coastline, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern has long been popular with holidaymakers from across Germany. This north-eastern German region is now receiving increasing attention from international visitors, who are finally recognising the unusual charm of the Baltic Sea islands, riverside cities and expansive national parks. The best places to stay in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern range from charming family-run hotels to oceanfront grand dames, perfect for a whole host of tastes and budgets.
Rostock — home to the region’s largest airport — is a natural starting point. Once a powerful member of the Hanseatic Trade League, the city is poised at the meeting point between the River Warnow and the Baltic Sea. Brimming with striking North German Brick Gothic buildings, as well as gourmet restaurants and galleries, it’s a terrific choice for a city break. For a sense of this history on a smaller scale, look north to the seaside city of Stralsund, with its gorgeous, UNESCO heritage-listed centre. From Stralsund, you’ll find the islands of Rügen and Hiddensee just a short ferry ride away. Both are brilliant for outdoorsy types seeking to step beyond the beaten track.
Follow the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern coastline east to the peninsula community of Ahrenshoop, with its wonderful artists’ colony, or to the seaside spa towns of Kühlungsborn and Heiligendamm. Inland, the wonders of the Mecklenburg Lakes Region await. Embark upon hiking, cycling and horse riding adventures in the forests of the Müritz National Park, or glide across refreshing lake waters by kayak and sailing boat. Whether you’re dreaming of sandy beaches, bird-filled marshland or lovingly landscaped gardens, all are within easy reach of the best places to stay in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
