See OfFersRostock is located in Northern Germany on the River Warnow and lies on the coast of the Baltic Sea. This university and port town is steeped in a diverse history and culture and its location gives it a maritime atmosphere. Add this to the vibrancy of the university, it makes Rostock a very interesting place to explore.
The classic redbrick buildings and merchant houses are typical of a Hanseatic City and Rostock is a great example. The strong trade alliance enabled by the Hanseatic League allowed Rostock to thrive in industries such as beer and salted fish. The maritime connections are still there for everyone to see today and the area of Warnemünde is a popular seaside destination. The historic city centre contrasts well with the expansive beaches to offer a well-balanced holiday destination.
If you would like to discover another part of Germany, we also have plenty of Dusseldorf city breaks and hotels in Bochum.
