We were on a cruise thru the Baltic Sea and one of the stops was Warnemunde. We walked around the town self guided using google maps. The town is rather small so it did not take long to see it all. The lighthouse is in a busy part of town on the dock area. It was easy to get to the lighthouse for an up close view. Built in 1898 and very much a part of the town.

The Warnemünde Lighthouse, a striking landmark in Rostock, Germany, stands tall at 37 meters on the Unterwarnow estuary. Erected in 1898 with white glazed bricks, it offers panoramic views from its two galleries. Once operated by a keeper, it's now automated, guiding ships with its light visible for 20 nautical miles.

Beautiful church with stunning exterior as well as interior. It really feels like this church shows how strong Rostock was back in the days. If you are a student, you only pay 2 euros for the entrance fee. It’s a neat church overall, but the astrological clock inside is amazing. It really makes you wonder how people of the past could come up with the idea of creating it.

St. Mary's Church is the largest church in Rostock, Germany. I love its red brick Gothic architecture! It really stands out from all angles in the city!! I was looking forward to seeing its astronomical clock that I had heard about. Unfortunately, even though it said it was supposed to be open on the website, sadly, it wasn't. We walked around the entire building several times to try to find an open door, but no luck.

Came here to Costal Germany: St. Mary's Church (Marienkirche), Rostock Location: The church is located in the city center (Stadtmitte) of Rostock. Address: Its address is typically listed as Bei der Marienkirche 3, 18055 Rostock, Germany. It is easily recognizable by its towering, massive brick structure and the specific color pattern on the tower (alternating dark/green-glazed and red unglazed bricks, particularly visible on the sides of the transept and tower), which is characteristic of the building's various construction phases. The St. Mary's Church is famous for being the largest church in Rostock and for housing a magnificent, functional medieval astronomical clock dating from 1472.
George F — Google review
This church is very special! Highly recommended. There are some decorations related to the characteristics of this city: harbour. In addition, the astronomical clock is also amazing. It has worked for more than 500 years and provides a lot of calendar/astronomical information. I like this clock more than the one in Prague. After visiting this church, I donated some money because I hope that anything in church can be maintained in a good condition.

This was the most amazing Zoo we have ever seen. The animals are well looked after. All the animals seemed to be extremely happy. Their enclosures are very large, and clean. This zoo has a great breeding program that is extremely successful as most of the enclosures had a baby in there. If I could give it more stars I would. The cost was good value for money. It took us the whole day to go around it.

We were on a cruise thru the Baltic Sea and one of the stops was warnemunde. It is a small town so we were easily able to walk self guided all around using google maps. The Strand is a very lively area overlooking the water. Full of shops and restaurants. A fun place to spend a few hours.

Amazing place. We really loved in the morning when it was sunny and also in the evening with glittering light houses. Very peaceful place and easy to reach. There are few small restaurants to grab snacks and drinks. You can relax here for the whole, walking around or sitting there. Water was a bit cold for me so I couldn't stay in water for long. Definitely a must go place.

If you like fresh seafood and nice beaches definitely worth visiting. We went to the beach bit early (around 9 am) so able to find a good place. The water was clear, not many waves, and less crowded in the morning. Can be easily accessed via Warnemünde S Bahn station.

Best place to visit in summer. Just plan if it’s more than 20C plus wind speed is not more then 12km/h. Otherwise bring a camp or jacket to feel warm. Lot of places to eat around and also enjoy the water. There is a kinder park near by but there are not many stuff for kids to do. Water is warm in summer just the cold wind makes it uncomfortable to stay. Anything above 20C is perfect of beach 🏖 and some sun. There are some places you can rent but it cost around 5€per hour.

Warnemünde Strand is a coastal paradise, and its sunsets are absolutely stunning. The beauty of this beach goes beyond its sandy shores and clear waters—it's the sunsets that truly steal the show. As the sun begins to set, the sky over Warnemünde Strand transforms into a breathtaking display of colors. The warm oranges and pinks mix with the cool blues of the sea, creating a mesmerizing painting in the sky. You'll have plenty of space on the beach to find your ideal spot for watching the sunset. Whether you decide to sit on the sand, take a leisurely stroll along the promenade, or relax at one of the beachfront cafes, you're in for a treat. The soothing sounds of the waves in the background add to the magic of the moment. And as the sun dips below the horizon, casting a shimmering reflection on the water, you'll be left in awe of nature's beauty. These sunsets at Warnemünde Strand are not just a visual delight; they're an experience that leaves a lasting impression. It's the kind of sunset that makes you pause, reflect, and feel grateful for the simple joys in life. In summary, Warnemünde Strand is the perfect place to witness some of the most beautiful sunsets imaginable. It's a destination that reminds us of the wonders of the natural world and leaves us feeling deeply appreciative.

If it so happens that you are traveling by car through Berlin and decide you need to go to Copenhagen, this port is pretty much the only option you have. I see no issues with it other than it wasn’t really hospitable to anyone taking the ferry so don’t come expecting anything other than finding your ferry and driving onto it. There’s nothing good or bad to be said about the boarding process. It was easy. The ferry itself is very nice and comfortable so no complaints here at all.

Vividly evokes the Stasi era, surprise arrests, no clear "crimes", interrogations, no criticism of government allowed. (Sounds a lot like what current POTUS is doing in 2025).

Elijah M — Google review
"Traditio sine innovatio" is the actual motto of this university because 'progress' is a term this establishment rarely uses. The University of Rostock is a place I spent seven years trying to get my teaching career going - would have been five if the bureaucratic system, student involvement and communication wasn't as bad as it is: The university's justiciary and overcomplicated systems such as using more than four online platforms to sign up for studies, refusing good tools like Zoom for worse ones like Big Blue Button and being stubborn and inhumane are the reasons why up to the very last day of my studies, the University of Rostock misgendered and deadnamed me. (In contrast: The University of Music and Theatre Rostock, banks, insurances and even the Ministry of Education managed to adapt to my current data within 24h after notice.) This university has many buildings since it is decentralised. Some buildings are clean and modern, most are in decay - especially the tragedy that is Parkstraße 6. No surprise with its nickname being 'green monster' - moldy green to be specific. My 2 stars go to the main building at Universitätsplatz 1 which is the standard the entire university should reach for, and to the kind professors and teachers who treated the students well and evaluated fairly. Obviously, there are black sheep such as a psychology professor who demands students to buy her book or else, they won't succeed in the exam, and another one in the philosophy section whose opinion must be replicated or else, it's a fail. Though these types of unqualified staff are a minority in my opinion. The true awfulness of this university lies in the architecture, system, judiciary, lack of support and discrimination. If you would like to become a teacher and study in Rostock, choose music and theatre to spend the least amount at the main university and instead be at the University of Music and Theatre Rostock - which beats this university in almost every metric. The drop-out rates for this university here speaks for itself.

The Brunnen der Lebensfreude (Fountain of Joy of Life) located in Rostock, Germany is certainly unique! I've never seen anything like it. It’s a well-known fountain in the heart of Rostock’s city center. There are several bronze sculptures of people dancing, running, laughing, and laying down all surrounding the water fountains. They definitely seem to be enjoying life!! It just seemed a little odd to me to see all the children playing on them. Everyone seemed happy and innocent, though, so I guess that's all that matters!

Church rebuilt after being destroyed in WWII. Plain interior is a work in progress. Parts of the church are used as a rotating display gallery. Votive Ship models hanging from the ceiling are a new innovation. Of interest in understanding the challenges of living a religious like in East Germany (DDR) after WW2.

The church is a three-nave Basilica with a high cross-vaulted ceiling in the west tower. The design of the dividing inner-wall exhibits the round-arched arcade design typical of Roman-Gothic style.

You can go to the top (up 4 floors) by elevator or steps. Their is 169 stone circular steps with 28 wooden steps totalling 197 - trust me we walked them. Once you get to the top you can pay to look in a telescope but pictures are free. The bottom floor is fantastically painted and designed.

I came to visit Rostock from Potsdam and fell in love with the northern German architecture in general. The pointy top and robust-looking bricks make in uniquely aesthetic. This gate is where you start the tour for the old city and has a tram station right next to it. Enjoy!

A place with good ambience. It is a place with a historical significance. It used to be one of the Gates to enter the fortified city of Rostock. One of the only two remaining gates. Pay visit and have a walk around the remaining walls around the east of the city.

Rostock is very pretty, the Steintor is very imposing and well maintained. Placed in the middle of the road, you can't miss it. Best regards #B4YOUDISCOVERY

I don't get why there is so much glamour about this. I think it's really underwhelming but the Wallanlagen nearby are lovely

Pretty and hstorical tower. Has some Griffin statues in front of it and murals above the entrance. The tower was not open and we couldn't go inside. Well preserved.

Beautiful museum with so much historic information about Rostock that you do not usually hear nor find online. Entrance is free and plan up to 1.5 hours inside.

Absolutely amazing free of charge museum that deep dives into historical moments starting from medieval times! Benches are available throughout all halles, foldable chairs are available for pickup at entrance. Super friendly staff! Pity that dedicated to 1945 expo isn't in English :(

I was glad that the first part of the museum of Rostock history had English translations, but the most interesting exhibition for 1945 didn't had. I hope in the future will be added. Otherwise the museum is very nice and with free entrance.

I really enjoyed the Culture Museum, there were a lot of activities for kids, fun for adults too, which made the information even more interesting.

A lovely place. The texts explaining each exhibited piece are both in German and English, the workers are friendly and the items on display interesting. There are also interactive elements for children or anyone curious :) The entrance is free, taking photos costs 2€. There's a lot of things relating to the city's history but on the second floor you'll also get to see quite a few international paintings. Overall, it's a very cute and interesting museum and I would definitely recommend you visit it!

Great museum to visit and learn the amazing city that is Rostock.

Museum is free. They tell that you pay 2 EUR if you take photos, but they do not control it, so it works with honesty. You can put money inside the saving box at the end. Most importantly, do not forget to visit the second floor, especially, if you are with kids. There are very interesting old toys.

We visited here in May 2017 and enjoyed it. We stumbled upon it while in Rostock for the day while our cruise ship was docked in nearby Warnemunde and this was a very neat find. They have a lot of unusual items. I particularly found the historical toy section fascinating, especially as an American who isn't familiar with German toys (much less German toys from a century ago).
