Schwerin is very small and kind, so you haven’t be scared. Sure in the dark every place seems like in an Horrorfilm but I felt quiet safe. It wasn’t that much people outside at the afternoon so you just walked by yourself

Schwerin is a small town in nord germany. I can't say that nothing ever happens, but I go out for a walk at 3 in the morning alone and I'm not afraid and if I come across someone I rarely feel like something might happen to me.

So far, I have not had any major negative experiences. People are careful to act immediately in emergencies. Once, a woman fell and three people ran to her immediately, helped her up and inquired about her health. Like any city, Schwerin has one or two neighborhoods that do not have a good reputation. But the majority is positive.

So beautiful City. Nice people. I didn’t saw that much but the nature and some buildings were so pretty. I was here for a concert and it was fantastic. It’s not that big but very charming. Hope to be here again soon.
