About this experience
The ancient Hanseatic city of Rostock emerged on the banks of the river Warnow in the 12th century. Once it was a major port of the GDR and the center of shipbuilding in eastern Germany. Today, the city's appearance is an amazing combination of Hanseatic brick Gothic and GDR architecture. Let's stroll through the streets of Rostock while talking about its past and present.
What to expect
The old city center will charm you with its atmosphere and whimsical buildings. On a walking tour, you will see:
- the city hall,
- St. Mary's Church with astronomical clock from the 15th century,
- ruins of the city wall and gates,
- former port warehouses on the Warnow embankment,
- Monastery of the Holy Cross,
- the building of one of the oldest German universities,
- the 'Fountain of Vitality,' known by a rather indecent nickname among locals,
- and much more.
During the walk, you will learn interesting facts from the history of the city and its residents, for example, why the number 7 became a symbol of Rostock. For more details, join the tour.
