The tour through the eastern part of the old town leads between St. Petri and St. Nikolai through winding alleyways, old house facades and quiet courtyards. The highlight is St. Peter's Church with its tower and sweeping views. The district tells of traditional craftsmanship, harbor life and historical stories that can still be felt today.
In the Eastern Old Town, where workshops used to clatter and traders offered their wares for sale, every alley tells of Rostock's long tradition of craftsmanship. The tour between St. Petri and St. Nikolai leads through a district where history remains tangible: winding paths, old house fronts and quiet courtyards that still shape the character of this historic district today.
A striking highlight is the Petrikirche church. Its slender tower has towered over the city since the Middle Ages and points far above the rooftops. Those who climb the viewing platform are rewarded with a sweeping view over Rostock and the Warnow - a moment in which past and present come together in the panorama. (A separate ticket is required for the ascent. Access to the viewing platform and the church is subject to the current opening times).
Between St. Petri and St. Nikolai, a Rostock unfolds that still sounds like craftsmanship, harbor winds and old ways: authentic, approachable and full of stories waiting to be discovered.
