Marktplatz Wismar

Marktplatz Wismar is the spacious central square of Wismar’s UNESCO-listed old town and one of the largest market squares in northern Germany. Framed by historic gabled buildings, cafés, and notable landmarks such as the Wasserkunst fountain and the neoclassical town hall, it offers a clear sense of the city’s Hanseatic heritage. It’s a good place to pause, admire the architecture, and explore nearby streets, especially for visitors interested in history, urban character, and local atmosphere.
