Rostock's Top 10
This tour covers the top 10 sights of the Hanseatic city of Rostock and is the best way to ensure you do not miss the highlights during your visit to Warnemunde (Rostock). Begin with an approximate 30-minute ride into the heart of the city, followed by a panoramic tour of the city by coach before you disembark and cover most of the sights on foot. Step back in time on a city walk through Rostock, Mecklenburg - Vorpommern's largest city, passing by the University of Rostock, the oldest and largest university in continental northern Europe, a city gate which survived the ravages of time, the 'New Market' Square lined with six original carefully preserved, gable houses from the 15th and 16th centuries, the Town Hall, and St. Mary's Church, an imposing brick Gothic church built in the 13th century. See the convent of the Holy Cross and the adjacent medieval city wall. View the modern functional buildings (concrete slab structures) built during the 1960s and in contrast the little fishing village Warnemunde, acquired by Rostock's town council in 1323, before returning back to your ship. This tour is a compilation of the best sightseeing attractions Rostock has to offer! Note: The order of the sights may vary. Inside visit of the Marien church is not part of the tour. You may visit the church on your own leisure time. Since it is currently undergoing renovations, some parts of the church as well as the astronomical clock cannot be seen. Most shops in Rostock will be closed on Sundays.

Rostock & Warnemünde, Germany

Rostock is the largest city in the north German state Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Rostock is on the Warnow river; the district of Warnemünde 7 miles north of the city center is directly on the Baltic Sea coast.
This is the third port on my eleven day Baltic cruise on the Emerald Princess. In this video I visit St. Mary's Church and Market Square in Rostock before returning to the ship in Warnemünde for the sail away.

Rostock is a city straddling the Warnow River on the north coast of Germany. It’s known for Rostock University, founded in 1419. Rostock Botanical Garden has an arboretum and alpine gardens. In the old town, the Gothic St. Mary’s Church features a 15th-century astronomical clock. Nearby is the cobblestone Neuer Markt main square and Rathaus (town hall), which mixes Gothic and baroque styles.
Rostock is the largest city in the German state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, though not its capital. It is a hub for Baltic Sea ferries, Germany's largest port for cruise ships by number of boardings and pleasant enough for a longer stay mostly due to its Hanseatic heritage. Rostock is near the Baltic Sea and to protect its fishing and access rights it annexed Warnemünde (named for being the mouth of the river Warnow), a port area to the north. Rostock was an important member of the Hanseatic League as well as one of the most important ports of the GDR (East Germany). Until the collapse of the East German economy in 1989/90 Rostock was a major center for shipbuilding and a few shipyards still remain, despite their economic woes.
The pick of Rostock’s churches is Marienkirche, an archetypal North German Brick Gothic church, which hasn’t changed much since the 14th century. The oldest of Rostock’s three churches goes back to 1252 and was rebuilt in the Brick Gothic style around the 1350s. Petrikirche is on the high left bank of the Warnow just before it broadens into the Unterwarnow estuary.
On either side of the Warnow Estuary, the perennial Blue Flag-winning Warnemünde Beach is 15 kilometres long and widens to 100 metres at points. The beach shelves low, so is safe for children, and there are two wide sections monitored by lifeguards in summer: Warnemünde Hauptstrand and Markgrafenheide on the other side of the Warnow.
In Warnemünde’s harbour, the Alter Strom is a channel dug as long ago as 1423. For more than five centuries this was the main channel linking Rostock’s port with the Baltic, until the Neuer Strom was dredged in 1903. On the west side of the Alter Strom is a promenade edged with charming old fishermen’s houses that are now shops and restaurants.
On the left side of the Warnow Estuary, the Warnemünde Lighthouse is just under30 metres high and has been here since 1898. Built with white-glazed bricks, the tower is the main landmark in the resort and has wrought iron railings on its platforms.
Rostock’s defensive walls were first raised in the 1100s and were then adapted for gunpowder in the 16th and 17th centuries. The Gothic Monastery of the Holy Cross housed Rostock’s cultural history museum since 1984. As an institution the museum is far older, dating back to 1859 and is seen as one of the foremost museums in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
Moored on the Unterwarnow on halfway between Rostock and Warnemünde is the Dresden, a “Typ IV”, 10,000 ton freighter. The Neuer Markt didn’t escape the bombing in 1942, but most of the east side of the square is original, and the same goes for some of the north and the town hall, which we’ll visit next. To look at Rostock’s arcaded town hall on Neuer Markt you wouldn’t know that the building is as old as the square itself, going all the way back to the 13th century.
You’ll be in no doubt that you’re in a Hanseatic city when you step onto Rostock’s waterfront at the Stadthafen. The Stadthafen is taken over by Hanse Sail, a maritime even in mid-August when some 250 tall ships and other traditional vessels dock in the city. In 56 hectares and hosting more than 4,000 animals, the acclaimed Rostock Zoo is the largest on Germany’s Baltic Sea coast.
A couple of streets north of the walls is the triangular Universitätsplatz, which like Neuer Markt is in Rostock’s pedestrian zone. A few minutes west of the centre of Rostock is the town of Bad Doberan, which, as well as boasting a stunning Brick Gothic minster, is the eastern terminus for a narrow gauge railway from the 1880s.

KTV. The Kröpeliner-Tor-Vorstadt (KTV, Kröpelin Gate Suburb) was the first part of Rostock built outside the medieval city walls, in the 2nd half of the 19th century. Originally designed to house workers flocking to the newly industrialised town, today's KTV is one of the most popular residential areas, especially with students and artists. It is here that you will find the highest density of bars, cafes and small shops selling handicraft or organic food.
To get to KTV from Rostock's main shopping street (Kröpeliner Straße), follow it all the way to the west, passing Kröpelin Gate and crossing the tram lines. Everything in front of you now is already part of KTV. Check out the Doberaner Platz, where most tram lines stop, where the best Döner Kebab is sold, and where everyone seems to meet before a pub crawl with friends. edit
shipping tour on the Warnow,
Stadtmauer (city walls), .While much of Rostock's fortifications were removed on the seaside (towards the river Warnow), a large part of the city wall remains on the land side and is certainly worth a visit. You will encounter 3 remaining gates, Kröpeliner Tor, Steintor (stone gate) and the oldest, Kuhtor (cow gate). Guided tours (some of them by a guide dressed up as a medieval night-watchman) are available and recommended for anyone interested in the history of the town. They can be booked under the stated link or in the tourist office. For the night-watchman tour, it is also possible to simply turn up at Petrikirche at 8pm if you're not with a large group, but the tour will then be in German only. edit
Climb the tower of Petrikirche (St. Petri's church), open from 10am, closing time depends on the season (currently 4pm October to April and 6pm May - September - consult website if unsure). Petrikirche boasts the tallest tower of the three remaining churches within the old town. The church itself can be visited for free (open daily, mind the Sunday service 11-12am) although the parish will be grateful for any change you put in the collection pillar. For the tower, there is a small admission fee (3€; 2€ for students or with the Warnowpass; family ticket (2 grown-ups, 2 kids) 6€ plus 1,50€ for each additional child). Climbing the steep spiral stairs is fun and a good exercise! There is also a barrier-free option: The parish has had the original bell shaft replaced by a lift which brings you up to the platform. It offers good views over town, river and harbour. Many guided tours of Rostock also start in front of the church.
Also worth keeping in mind: The parish has installed what is probably the only free public toilet in the old town (although, again, it might be a nice idea to put some coins into the collection column inside the church), also barrier-free and accessible from the outside, to the left of the main entrance. edit
Watch the sunset in the harbour. Take some drinks and food down and watch time pass by - as well as sailing boats, rowing boats, and plenty of seagulls. If it's herring season, the quay at the Silos will be full of fishermen.
If you're not into bring-your-own, there is a number of restaurants and bars along the quay, from German, Italian and Greek to Spanish cuisine. Between the theatre and Latino bar Besitos, you will find plenty of young people playing Kubb, at least during summer. Why not try it out yourself? If you ask nicely, you are sure to be allowed a shot. Or buy your own wooden kit at the games store Wupatki, Rungestraße 17. BTW: This part of the harbour is usually called Strand (beach) by locals, even if there is no sand within sight.
