Top Rostock Private Sightseeing Tours

Experience the magic of GPS playback on this immersive stroll through Rostock’s charming port town of Warnemünde. Trace the town’s transformation from a Baltic fishing village to a seaside resort on this self-guided audio tour. Despite being one of Germany’s busiest cruise ship ports, Warnemünde has retained its character and charm as an old fishing village with over 800 years of history. On this walking tour, you’ll discover traces of the medieval village, which once consisted of just two rows of houses. I’ll point out the oldest house, Warnemünder Vogtei, which dates from 1605 but has foundations as old as 1300. I’ll show you some very pretty corners that most visitors miss and quiet spots away from the tourist masses. Yet, if you enjoy shopping, there will be plenty of opportunities for that too. After a stroll through the village park, Kurpark, you’ll arrive at Seepromenade (the seaside promenade) where you can marvel at the widest beach in Germany.

Walk past Warnemunde’s historic 18th-century houses, the Old Stream Canal, and explore Rostock’s scenic old town highlights.

Rostock has transformed from a medieval trading post to a vibrant Baltic port city, thanks in part to Hanseatic League membership since the 1200s.

Starting at Market Square outside the City Hall — its distinctive pink baroque facade concealing an original Gothic structure. Along the way, visit the Abbey of the Holy Cross, explore the only surviving Gothic facade on Kröpeliner Strasse, and discover the University of Rostock, Germany's fourth oldest. The tour ends at St. Mary's Church and its remarkable astronomical clock — the only one of its kind still in operation.

Home to one of the oldest universities in the world—the University of Rostock dates back to 1419—Rostock has quite the history to unpack.
