Explore Rostock
Rostock is a Historic Highlight in Germany, not found anywhere else in the country and is situated on the coast. The salty air of the Baltic Sea belongs as much to the city as the sound of the sea gulls. You will experience a refreshing mix of urban life, marine flair and beach culture when visiting this city.
