July 11, 2023,Kleine Sightseeing-Runde durch die Rostocker Altstadt (Tram Steintor IHK – Tram Steintor IHK)

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 …

May 23, 2022,🇩🇪 Astronomische Uhr 🕰 in Rostock

Rostock can also be explored very well on foot. If you get a city map from the tourist information office, the sights are wonderfully numbered and you won't miss any of them. We would recommend St. Marienkirche, which you should go in to look at the astronomical clock, which may become a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

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 🚴🌞.

A lot has changed here for the better in recent years. I took photos on every corner, but only uploaded a very small …

A city tour in Rostock is worthwhile.

A long weekend, with an upcoming appointment, led to Rostock.
Best Sunday weather ☀️ to explore the university town 🎓 where both parents studied.
Sometimes here, sometimes along there, up and down Kröpeliner Straße, sometimes right, sometimes left towards the Warnow, eat something here, sit there and watch the goings-on, enjoy free time 🤗.
