Hanseatic and University City of Rostock - Private Tour (from Warnemünde )

Rostock was granted town rights in 1218, became one of the leading cities of the Hanseatic League, and in 1419 founded one of the oldest universities in northern Europe. On this walking tour you see that history up close: red-brick Gothic churches, the old city wall and gates, merchants’ gabled houses, and the university square. We start and finish at your cruise terminal in Warnemünde and travel to Rostock by train and tram, the way locals do. In the old town we walk through 800 years of history, from medieval trade to the GDR years and today. This is not a race through a checklist. We take a proper break for lunch or coffee, and there is time for questions and conversation along the way. On the way back we stroll through Warnemünde itself, along the Alter Strom canal to the lighthouse and the beach..
