My little tour of Rostock's old town begins at the stone gate from the 16th century. There is something worth seeing almost everywhere: pretty gabled houses on the New Market, the imposing Marienkirche, the old university and the neighboring monastery of the Holy Cross, which today houses the Cultural History Museum with an exhibition on the history of the city …

Today we want to stroll a little through Rostock. The old town is pretty and has many beautiful and interesting buildings to show. We liked it a lot, even if it rained a lot today. It ended with a harbor tour

Today we took a look at Rostock.
Although we've been here many times, we haven't been to Rostock yet.
It actually has a beautiful old town and a nice shopping street.
Unfortunately, there was a large construction site at the harbor.
All in all, 👍🏻 very nice 🚴🌞.

There are various stories about the Rostock town hall snake. One of them says that it was once donated to the councilors as …

At the end of my trip to Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, a city tour through Rostock with the camera

To connect today, a small tour through the old town of Rostock. The southern old town is not so crowded. I find this site almost more interesting and beautiful.

This morning I took the S-Bahn, which leaves Warnemünde every 15 minutes, to the city center of Rostock.

It was quite interesting for me, who has already visited the Hanseatic cities of Bremen, Lübeck, Hamburg and Stralsund.

Unfortunately, the big chains dominate the shopping streets here too and all city centers now look almost the same to me.
