The Rostock City Guides answer the questions every visitor has: where to find a proper fish roll, how to split a day between the Hanseatic old town and the beach at Warnemünde, which museums cost nothing and where the KTV student quarter goes out at night. Each guide is a short, opinionated list with the reason to go, what to order or see and one practical tip per place, and it opens in your browser as soon as you have paid.

Three places from the guides
Restaurant Käthe
Barnstorfer Weg 10, KTV
Vegetarian and vegan cooking good enough that meat-eaters reserve tables too: inventive seasonal plates and a weekend brunch that is full early. From the food guide.
Culture Museum Rostock
Klosterhof, Kloster zum Heiligen Kreuz
Rostock’s past, from Hanseatic trade to old toys, told inside a medieval Cistercian convent. Entry is free, give it about an hour and a half, and most captions are in English. From the things to do guide.
Gespensterwald
Nienhagen, about 15 km west of Warnemünde
The ghost forest: beeches twisted and stripped bare by the Baltic wind, standing on a low cliff above the beach. An hour there and back, and at its eeriest in mist or at dusk. From the day trips guide.
Plan your days in Rostock
Day one: start in the old town with the town hall, St Mary’s and the free history museum, lunch in a sailors’ tavern, then take the boat or the S-Bahn to Warnemünde for the lighthouse, the pier and a fish roll at sunset. Day two: catch a regional train to Stralsund, Wismar or Schwerin, or ride the Molli steam train to the coast, and end the evening in a KTV bar. For a rainy or slow day, explore the cargo-ship museum and the Stasi prison memorial, linger over Kaffee und Kuchen or take the children to the indoor pool.
