I was informed that I could enter the limited time only "Treasures in Dialogue" exhibition at the Schwerin Castle Museum too. The exhibition "Treasures in Dialogue" showcases an exquisite selection of Netherlandish paintings (16th to 18th centuries) and European decorative arts.

#travelandstudy #mytripvlog Don't forget the mission to find all the ice cream shops in Germany because ice cream is something we can't live without. We will review until we have tried every shop. Eiscafe Valentino is located in Schwerin on the main street MecklenburgStraBe. The price is not expensive at 1.5€ and there are many flavors to choose from. The shopkeeper is friendly and gave me a lot of it, so I had to say that was enough. Today I ate the caramel flavor, but it was a bit sweeter than the ones in Stralsund and Greifwald, but it was still delicious.

#Traveling and studying #mytripvlog Carrying hunger by train from home to Schwerin for a total of three hours, I was so hungry, walking past a shop that looked delicious, there was crispy duck too. When I arrived at the shop… AHHH… There was a buffet just in time. Oh my god, please bless me, I haven't eaten Thai food for a month. The price for the lunch buffet is 14€, not including drinks. The food line is not very long, but it's delicious and truly Chinese. Most importantly, you can eat as much as you want. There are fried food, rice (squealing), and fried rice. The crispy duck is sooo crispy, so good. Light comes out of your mouth. At a cheap price, too. The fried button mushrooms are delicious, but I think of the fried shiitake mushrooms at a shop near Ari. That one is more flavorful, but it's still very delicious. There are desserts and candied lychees. Worth it, worth it, so worth it.

Today #TravelAndStudy will introduce you to the central station of Schwerin, a cute and lovely city in northern Germany with a unique and beautiful ancient castle. Schwerin is a city located between Hamburg and Berlin, near Rostock. Traveling from Hamburg, it takes only a few hours to reach Schwerin Central Station, also known as Schwerin HBF.

The platforms are not far apart, but you have to go down and up the stairs if they are not adjacent platforms. There are trams and buses right in front of the station. You can take them to various places, but most of the attractions are not far away and you can walk there. #mytripvlog

#tripaway Surrounded by Lake Schwerin and in front of Schwerin town center, Schwerin Castle enchants with its unique combination of architecture and landscape. The former residential building in Schwerin is one of the most important historic buildings in Germany. With the inclusion of Renaissance buildings from the 16th century and the beginning of the 17th century with terracotta ornaments and ornamental facades, the present appearance of the palace was created between 1843 and 1857. The palace was redesigned according to the plans of builders Georg Adolph Demmler and Friedrich August Stüler in the neo-renaissance style. The castles of the French Renaissance, especially the Chambord in the Loire, exerted a strong influence on the model. It is especially worth seeing in the castle museum the magnificent ducal display rooms on the festival floor, such as the Throne Room and the ancestral gallery, as well as the living and social rooms at the bottom of the room, such as dining, tea, flower rooms and New Year gallery Precious porcelain from Meissen, Berlin and other European manufacturers, as well as courtyard and Mecklenburg paintings from the 18th and 20th centuries can be seen in the rooms of former children. The castle garden and the orange are also worth a visit. In addition to its function as a cultural meeting place, the castle is also the seat of the Mecklenburg-Western Pomeranian state parliament. The annual SCHWERIN SCHLOSSFESTSPIELE is also very popular and well attended. You can discover Schwerin Castle on a city tour in the most important sights of Schwerin. #tripaway
