• 5Local tour not to be missed.

  Andreas was an informative, organized and humorous guide and we learned a great deal about life during the communist rule of the area and the impact of the secret police under these times. Andreas made sure everyone was included and kept a careful eye as we boarded train and tram going to Rostock. Highly recommend this tour!

• 5Great Walking Tour of Warnemünde and Rostock

  This is a great walking tour. Small group with a very knowledgeable and interesting guide, Yvonne. The amount of time was just right. After an hour in the quaint and pretty area of Warnemunde, we took the train and tram as a group to Rostock, another nice city with interesting history. Then we took the tram and train back to Warnemunde.

About Rostock

Rostock is an old Hanseatic port on Germany's Baltic coast, with brick Gothic churches, a historic university and the beach resort of Warnemünde.

Rostock grew rich as a Hanseatic trading port on the Warnow river, and its university, founded in 1419, is among the oldest in northern Europe. The brick Gothic Marienkirche holds an astronomical clock from 1472 that still keeps time. The Neuer Markt is dominated by the town hall, whose seven slender turrets rise above a baroque front, and the Kröpeliner Tor is a medieval gate at the end of the pedestrian street.
