Today the castle ensemble belongs to the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and is used by, among others, an art association and the State Office for Monument Preservation.

Riding bicycles in the castle gardens is prohibited. Even pushing bicycles is prohibited there. You can park your bikes at the bus stop. Or at the cafe. Why someone here is copying and pasting 8 times and thus posting 8 tips is anyone's guess.

The historic market in Wismar is the centre of the old town, which, like the Old Harbour, is under special protection by UNESCO after Wismar was added to the World Heritage List in 2002.
