Top Rostock Private Sightseeing Tours

Experience East Germany in Rostock: Rostock has a lot of GDR era art and architecture in easy walking distance to experience, as well as a haunting Stasi memorial. I was born in 1970, grew up in Rostock and I love to show this side of our town to our international guests. I always encourage people to see the East German heritage by using the GDR era public transport links.
