Discover Schwerin with the CITYTOGO digital city guide
With CITYTOGO, visitors can explore Schwerin flexibly using their smartphone. At 60 locations, QR codes lead to audio content, information, and panoramic and aerial images.
Schwerin can now be explored even more easily and on your own terms. With the CITYTOGO digital city guide, visitors receive on-the-spot information about selected sights and special locations across the city. The offer is aimed at everyone who wants to discover Schwerin flexibly without missing out on interesting background stories.
Across the entire city, QR code stickers have been placed at 60 different locations. These include, among others, the castle and castle gardens, the Burggarten, the Pfaffenteich, as well as artworks in public spaces. Anyone who scans the code with their smartphone gets direct access, via the free municipal WiFi network, to the curated content for that specific place.
City history directly on your smartphone
A major advantage of CITYTOGO is how easy it is to use. Instead of having to follow fixed times for a classic guided tour, visitors can move at their own pace. This is ideal for a spontaneous stroll through town, a short stay or a day trip with limited time.
The content is available not only to read, but also as an audio version. This creates a modern tour that can be enjoyed casually on the go. Especially while walking, this helps you understand the sights better without much extra effort.
The benefits of CITYTOGO
- flexible discovery without fixed starting times
- background information directly at each location
- use via smartphone with a QR code
- free access through the municipal WiFi network
- additional panoramic and aerial images in the online portal
More than a digital audio guide
In addition to the information on site, the portal at citytogo.schwerin.de offers further insights. There, users will find panoramic and aerial images of the individual locations. This is helpful not only for planning the next stop, but also if you want to revisit your impressions in peace after your visit.
Especially for travelers who explore Schwerin on their own, CITYTOGO combines orientation, knowledge and digital imagery in a meaningful way. It does not replace a classic city tour, but adds to it. Anyone who prefers to move around independently gets a practical tool that brings together information and freedom of movement.
Practical for visitors with limited time
Not every stay allows enough time for a longer guided tour. This is where the digital city guide really shows its strengths. Individual locations can be selected specifically, so the tour can be tailored to personal interests. Whether you focus on well-known highlights or details off the main routes, CITYTOGO makes it easier to experience Schwerin more consciously and with more context.
The project has been implemented by maxpress – agentur für kommunikation GmbH & Co. KG. For visitors to the city, this creates a contemporary offer that makes cultural experiences straightforward, accessible and easy to fit into everyday life.
Anyone who wants to get to know Schwerin at their own pace will find CITYTOGO a practical companion during their stay. Sights, green spaces and public art become more understandable and vivid right where they are located.
