Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania (Mecklenburg-Vorpommern in German, also used in English) is the least densely populated state in Germany, with a mere 73 inhabitants per km² (three times less than the national average). With only 1,642,000 people, it is less populous than the city of Hamburg. Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is also the poorest German state measured by gross regional product per capita at purchasing power parity.

Three of Germany's fourteen national parks are in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, in addition to several hundred nature conservation areas. The Baltic Sea and the numerous lakes contribute to making Mecklenburg-Vorpommern the number-one tourist destination within Germany, especially popular with Berliners. The state also boast two of Europe's oldest universities (Rostock and Greifswald, both founded in the 15th century), and two cities listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites (Stralsund and Wismar). Yet, the most beautiful of all is undeniably Schwerin, the state capital.

The gem of Northeast Germany, Schwerin is pressed on every side by a multitude of lakes. Oldest city and capital of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, it was the seat of a grand duchy, and its magnificent Neo-Renaissance ducal castle is one of the loveliest in Germany.

                                 

State Museum Schwerin

          

On the east side of the Alter Garten in Schwerin is the State Museum (Staatliches Museum) with its splendid Gallery of Old and New Masters, a first-rate picture gallery in Neoclassical style that was established in 1882. The facade was enriched during rebuilding with Italian Renaissance flourishes. The collection also includes large numbers of works by Flemish and Dutch masters of the 17th and 18th centuries, and modern art is also represented. It's also well known for its collection of medieval art, which includes the famous Neustädt Altarpiece.

Schloss Ludwigslust

                     

Schloss Ludwigslust, about 38 kilometers south of Schwerin, is the focal point of the Baroque village after which it's named. Built in 1772, this sumptuous palace is home to a collection of courtly art, as well as artifacts befitting the aristocracy of the 18th and 19th centuries, including paintings, furniture, and fine décor. It also boasts a beautiful park and gardens that cover an area of 309 acres.
