Rostock Christmas Market

Start your day of explorations in Rostock at this large pedestrian-only plaza, lined with restaurants and historic buildings that make for pretty photos.

Behind its pink façade, this historic civic building conceals treasures, from Hanseatic murals to a medieval restaurant and a secret snake statue bringing good luck.

A famed astrological clock, a magnificent wooden altar and a collection of Baltic religious art fill this church next to Rostock’s New Market.

Learn about the various insignias of the Hanseatic League and their meanings, as well as stories of Rostock’s past, at this former part of the city wall.

Learn about the local history of Nördliche Altstadt when you spend time at Standehaus. Stroll along the area's beaches or simply enjoy its bars.

Get panoramic views of Rostock, the Baltic and the surrounding countryside from the steeple of this church, one of the oldest religious structures in the area.
