The cruise ships dock in the center of Warnemunde and is only 300 meters from the train station and city center. From there on one can travel to Rostock (20 min) and Berlin (a 2 and a half hour trip) Train schedules. The terminal can accommodate 3 cruise liners at a time. If all occupied, ships dock at the main commercial piers of Rostock at Seehafen on the other side of the river.

Getting to Berlin under your own steam in one day isn't practical, since trains run on specific schedules that may conflict with your ship's time table. Shore excursions use charter trains or coaches, so that is the best way to reach the capital.

Sightseeing:

Being a center of maritime traffic, the district of Warnemünde comprises numerous navigational aids, the oldest is the lighthouse, which is currently still in use. The lighthouse was built in 1897. In the summer, the tower, approximately 37 meters (121 ft) high, allows visitors to enjoy an impressive view over the Baltic Sea and the northern districts of Rostock. The nearby Teepott (Teapot) with its slightly curved roof, the resort’s second famous landmark, is an interesting example of East German (DDR) architecture. Built in the 1960s and renovated in 2002, it today houses different restaurants and a sea voyage exhibition.

Warnemünde's acres of fine sand makes a sure fire hit as a holiday resort and this is where the ship docks. So if your ambition is no more than a touch of sunbathing and a stroll around the resort then all that is very close by.

Yachts at anchor, a jumble of fishing boats, sea, cafes and bars, not forgetting the famous teapot, and a pier all lend character to this small but charming resort.

Trains to Rostock leave about every 10 minutes for Rostock Hauptbahnhof. The train trip is less than 20 minutes, tickets are 1.80 Euro one way, which includes the tram in Rostock.

Nearby Places:

Rostock town center is relatively compact so it is fairly easy to take in a number of sites within the course of a day. The place to start is St Peter's Church (St Petrikirche) in the oldest part of the city in the east. It started life as a wooden church in the 13th century but was followed by a brick Gothic construction with an 117m (380ft) tower which served as a landmark for sailors for centuries. Air raids destroyed the tower and part of the church in 1942. After a long wait of 52 years, the tower was rebuilt to a height of 125m (410ft) this time with a modern lift so visitors can ascend to a viewing floor.

You can also take a train from Warnemunde to Lubeck , with a change in Rostock. Lubeck is a delightful old city to visit. Trains run quite frequently.

Visiting Warnemünde Germany by cruise ship? Here are 9 fun things to do in one day

I visited Warnemünde during my 7 night Northern European cruise aboard the MSC Poesia this summer. Prior to my trip, I’d never even heard of Warnemünde. But after my cruise, I’m sure I’ll never forget this charming little German town. Warnemünde was founded around 1200 and for centuries it was merely a small fishing village on the Baltic Sea. Today, it is one of busiest cruise ports in the world!

It’s super easy to make your way to the centre of Warnemünde from the cruise ship terminal. Just follow the signs for the ‘city centre’ as you leave the ship. The path will take you underneath the train tracks at the main station, and the town lies just on the other side. I would say it’s about a 10-minute walk.

I decided not to book any tours through the cruise line, but to rather explore the town on my own. Below I share nine fun things to do in Warnemünde in one day.

1. Walk along the sea promenade

Warnemünde has a beautiful, wide promenade that runs parallel to the Baltic Sea. It was built over 100 years ago and stretches for 2 km starting at the famous Warnemünde Lighthouse in the east and terminating into coastal forests in the west. The promenade is flanked by beach villas on the one side and white sand dunes on the other. No matter the weather, this is a great place to enjoy a walk.

2. Visit the Warnemünde Church

It’s difficult to miss the prominent neo-gothic church in the old town centre of Warnemünde. It dates back to 1866 when construction of the current brick building began. As impressive as the outside of the church is, the interior is more modest, but still fitted with interesting furnishings such as a carved altar and Renaissance pulpit. Be sure to check out the interior of the church as there is no entrance fee.

3. Enjoy the Warnemünde beach

The incredibly wide (up to 80 meters) sandy beach of Warnemünde is definitely one of the main attractions. Whether you want to swim in the cool Baltic Sea, or laze on a strandkorb or walk along the white sandy beach, the choice is up to you.

Fun fact : The strandkorb or german beach chair was invented here (Rostock) in 1882.

4. Search for the Dutchman windmill

The windmill was built in 1866 and up until 1991, corn was milled here. Since then, the windmill has been converted into a residential building, including a restaurant. As someone who lives in the Netherlands and has seen a large number of windmills, this one isn’t particularly special. But if you haven’t seen a lot, then this one is worth checking out. Just note that the windmill is currently being renovated (July 2019).

Insider tip : You can get the best view of the windmill from, you guessed it, Mühlenstraße.

5. Climb the Warnemünde Lighthouse

This is a fun activity that the whole family can enjoy. The lighthouse has a height of 37 meters and was built in 1897. Approximately 100 stairs take you to the top of the tower and at 31 meters, you can practically see the whole town. Entry is only €2. Note that you can only climb the tower from Easter to autumn.

6. Explore the area around the Alter Strom

The Alter Strom is the lively heart of Warnemünde, a canal filled with boats and surrounded by restaurants and shops. It’s a great place to take a stroll or do some people watching. So grab an ice cream or a fresh German pastry and just watch the boats go by…There is also a market where local fishermen sell freshly caught fish.

7. Check out the pretty houses on Alexandrinenstraße

With its quaint little houses and tall trees, this pretty street looks like it belongs on the canvas of some famous painter. Long ago, fishermen, sailors and pilots used to live in these houses.

8. Shop till you drop in the local shops

If you like shopping as much as I do, then the local shops in Warnemünde will not disappoint. You can expect to see a variety of products, from spices to homemade liquor and treats to art galleries and everything in between.

9. Walk along the west pier

Take a romantic stroll along the west pier that runs 500 meters into the Baltic Sea. Believe me, the view is great! The pier mainly serves as a breakwater to stop the currents of the Baltic Sea and to facilitate the approach of incoming ships. At the end of the pier is a green and white lighthouse.

Bonus: Warnemünde Sand World

Just as you exit the cruise ships (Pier 7), there is a temporary sand sculpture exhibition (Warnemünde Sand World) featuring artists from all across Europe. This is the best sand art that I’ve ever seen and it’s completely free to visit! From what I’ve read on the internet, there is a sand sculpture competition/exhibition every year. The exhibition runs until the end of October.

Although Warnemünde is fairly small, there are lots to see and you can do all these activities at a leisurely pace. If you crave more excitement or you simply want to see more, Rostock is only a 30-minute train ride away. Now technically, you can also travel to Berlin or Hamburg. But these cities are huge and hours away. I wouldn’t recommend visiting them on this port stop. Rather, stick around and explore all that Warnemünde has to offer.

I’m a travel fanatic, nature lover, geek, metalhead, and writer. My promise to you: transparency, depth, and passion. Keep it real and stay weird everybody!

Warnemünde – A Cruise Port Guide

Warnemünde, on the mouth of the river Warnow is a both a busy port and an elegant ‘fin de siecle’ seaside town. Warnemünde increasingly features on the Baltic Cruise circuit and its large modern terminal, which has two berths, is home port for AIDAdiva and AIDAmar. The entrance to the harbour is guarded by a new lighthouse – it is a very deep channel but it does look a dramatically tight entrance, especially from the shore!

The port of Warnemünde is labelled as ‘for’ Berlin which is a little misleading as is is quite some distance away (240km or 3 to 4 hours on a train to be precise!) and this is one of those situations where we would probably suggest that you use a ships tour to visit unless you are a very confident traveller. German trains are generally exceptionally reliable and, as Warnemünde is it’s are generally a little longer than normal to allow for travel to Berlin, it would be possible to DIY the day but the downside is that the next day or two will probably be sea days and then home to Southampton so if you miss the boat your holiday will be over! If you are based in the UK a weekend trip to Berlin will be less stressful than a DIY day from the ship and probably much cheaper than a ships tour to Berlin for two! (Funnily enough the same applies to the other major German port, Hamburg – basically Berlin is a long way inland!) There is a lot to do local to Warnemunde – so consider spending the day locally – I think you’ll have fun!

Warnemünde was originally the fishing port for its larger, more prosperous neighbour – the city of Rostock. Strategically placed upriver to be more easily defended from attack, Rostock is the largest city in the German Federal state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and is the academic, cultural and economic centre of the state with over 200,000 inhabitants. It is a Medieval town, founded in 1218, with a long history as a Hanseatic port and harbour. The Hanseatic League was effectively the worlds earliest trading association – you can still see Hanseatic warehouses on various cruise stops around Northern Europe ( Hamburg, Riga, Bruges, Tallin and Bergen) and these Hansa cities effectively ruled the Baltic from the 1200s until the 30 Years War in 1618. The strategic location of Rostock made it strategically important and over the years it was occupied by the Danish, the Swedes, the French under Napoleon and the Prussians under Peter the Great. It was the largest port in East Germany and for some time was a popular cruise port itself.

Rostock is home to cruise company AIDA Cruises and their ships are home-ported at Warnemünde. Nowadays although some smaller ships still travel upriver to Rostock the majority of cruise moor at the Warnemünde Cruise terminal. The two towns are quite different and it is perfectly possible to visit both quite comfortably in one day.

Lets start with Warnemünde where you will almost certainly be berthed at the Cruise Terminal , opened in 2005 it is a large two-storey steel and glass terminal with all the usual facilities for passengers. It is probably one of the most convenient and pleasant terminals for a stopover because of its exceptionally good position. The terminal is only 300 m from the local railway station and not much further from the town of Warnemünde itself so it is very easy to explore. It is worth mentioning here that English isn’t very widely spoken in the area so a translation app or book might come in handy. If you turn away from the town and walk through the underpass beneath the railway (towards the water) you will reach the Pier 7. The local ferry travels to Rostock from here every half hour or so. You can purchase a days travel pass for the local public transport system for 5€ with further reductions for groups. From the Station trains go to Rostock every 10 minutes or so. It is a twenty minute train journey to Rostock Hbf which is actually on the outskirts of town. From the station it is a short tram ride to Neuer Markt – the town centre. We took a nice round trip going into Rostock by ferry, walking back down through the town, taking a tram to the station and return to Warnemünde by train (you could do the opposite!).

Warnemünde town is a short level walk from the ship – you can pick up a walking map of the town at the cruise terminal or railway station. Although quite small in comparison to Rostock with a population of only about 35,000, it is both a busy fishing port and a seaside town.

The town surrounding the old fishing port expanded at the end of the 18th century as tourists discovered the towns beautiful long sandy beach and dramatic sand dunes. The grand 18th Century architecture of its casino, hotels and spas contrasts with that of the ancient timber framed fishermen’s cottages and the captains houses which sit overlooking the river and the new marina on the Alte Strom.

Warnemünde Church built in the 1860s has strong evidence of its maritime links with a lovely carved wooden statue of St Christopher and a fleet of small model sailing ships hanging from the ceiling. Warnemunde is a very popular seaside resort, you can hire bikes and ride for miles along the flat sea front.

Architectural highlights include the UNESCO World Heritage Site at the Warnemünde Lighthouse and the Teapot which is an unusually shaped shaped building situated directly on the beach, containing bars and restaurants. The old lighthouse was first constructed in 1836 and restored in 1898, there are great views over the coast and the port from the top of its 36m high spiral staircase. The beach is wide and sandy with high dunes – quick warning, part of it is a naturist area!

Excellent restaurants and bars line the habourside area and the path continues right out to the Port ( green) entrance lighthouse which can be quite a bracing walk! Warnemünde is a popular sailing town with a popular weeklong regatta in July each year. The renowned Norwegian expressionist painter and graphic artist Edvard Munch (1863 – 1944) spent eighteen months in Warnemünde from summer 1907 and his former home is now used as part of a cultural exchange scheme for visiting Norwegian artists. Although not generally open to the public it sometimes holds exhibitions and events when you are able to see inside.

The medieval city of Rostock is 13km up the Warnow river from Warnemunde. It dates from 1218 when its main exports were ships, beer and fish and its position as an important port in the Hanseatic League ensured the cities wealth. Ship building flourished on the banks of the river and in the early 20th century Rostock became famous for aircraft manufacture; the Heinkel factory produced planes for the Luftwaffe in the 1930s. Rostock was East Germanys principal ocean port but since Reunification at the end of the 20th century has declined in importance in comparison to Hamburg. If your cruise arrives in August you may catch the annual Hanse Sail Rostock in August, when upwards of 200 Tall Ships and other classic sailing boats arrive for four days of regattas, fireworks and markets.

Rostock is also northern Germany’s oldest university town, it has an excellent reputation both academically and as a centre for performing arts.Although some of the city’s older buildings were destroyed by Allied bombing in World War II, the grand marketplaces, bridges, city ramparts and gates have been restored and newer buildings are still designed with the traditional Hanseatic red brick, stepped gables.

The lively pedestrian zone of Kropeliner Strasse is lined with shops, restaurants and bakeries and is a nice place to walk, at its far end you will find the remains of the old city wall some of which is still walk-able and next to it the peaceful Wallangen park, a good spot for a picnic. At the end of the main Plaza you will find a large fountain – celebrating Zest for Life – and the beautiful 600 year old facade of Rostock University, founded in 1419 it is one of the oldest universities in the world. Also close to Wallangen park, tucked down behind the old city wall is the Cultural History Museum which displays various paintings, relics, crafts & artifacts in a converted 13th-century monastery on Klosterhof, various art and craft galleries cluster nearby.

At the opposite end of town you will find the 13th century Petrikirche (St. Peter’s Church) which unbelievably was once the tallest building in the world, although post war restoration has left it shorter than it used to be! The steeple is now 335 feet high and its viewing platform can be accessed by climbing 196 steps or you can cover the 12 stories in a lift. Also nearby is Marienkirche (St. Mary’s Church), built in 1230 – definitely worth a visit to see its intricate astronomical clock and the beautiful model boats that hang from the ceiling.

The midway ferry stop between between Rostock and Warnemünde (or accessible by bus) is the IGA park , which was built in 2003 for the 17th World Horticultural Exposition. The park was created on the banks of the river, in a derelict area around the ruins of the village of Schmar. Many cultural events are held here and It also houses a Maritime Museum housed in an old merchant ship as well as a spacious park with playgrounds, landscaped gardens & sporting facilities. Rostock has a large Zoo with many animals including elephants, jaguars, gorillas and polar bears, it is slightly outside the city on the other side of the woodland park Barnstorfer Anlagen .

‘For’ Berlin?

As I mentioned Warnemünde is usually labelled ‘for’ Berlin which is a trip that I really wouldn’t advise but because of that stops here are generally a little longer than normal to allow for extended travel times, so there are other things that you can do a bit further afield than you might normally consider…

Bad Doberan is worth a visit – it is accessible by taxi, bus or train , the drive takes 30 minutes or it is about an hour by train. The town is lovely but the ‘Molli” train which leaves from here is great fun! It travels through the streets of the town and then out across fields and open countryside to the seaside resort of Bad Kühlungsborn. Opened in 1886, the Molli is apparently the worlds oldest narrow gauge steam train and a regular train service runs every hour during the summer and every 2 hours during the winter. It is all delightfully old fashioned, with hand operated level crossings and traffic giving way to the train as it travels down the centre of the main street in town! There are currently five trains that date from 1886 to 1932 and although the oldest carriages are now ‘retired’ the newer ones still feature hard wooden seats, if you are offered the option of an upgrade to a ‘Salon’ coach with upholstered leather seats it will be worth it! There is a nice restaurant at the Kühlungsborn Ost station.

If you fancy going even further afield you could investigate the medieval port of Wismar or take a trip to Schwerin, both of which are accessible by local transport in a couple of hours or by taxi or car in under an hour. Schwerin is a beautiful old town dating from the 11th century which is almost completely surrounded by water. The beautiful castle (Schloss) is an extravagant, ornate palace on an island accessed by a causeway over Lake Schwerin, surrounded by elaborate gardens intersected by canals. It is a riot of architecture with a golden dome, Gothic and Renaissance turrets, Slavic ‘Onion’ domes and terracotta brick Hanseatic step gables. The Schloss contains the State parliament of the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, a museum, cafes and galleries. In Schwerin town you could visit the museum which has a wonderful collection of medieval art, the 13th century cathedral and the rococo State Theatre.

The local food is quite hearty and filling. Look for Fischbrotchen, Warnemunde’s own speciality, which is a smoked fish sandwich – available in all sorts of fish – halibut, mackerel, herring, butterfish, flapper, bismarck – many cafes and restaurants have their own smoker just outside on the terrace to prepare the fish. Local Rostock beer is also very popular in both ‘white’ and ‘dark’ forms, and, as elsewhere in Germany, bratwurst and other sausages are found everywhere!

Shopping is quite good in Rostock and Warnemunde and if you are reaching the end of a Baltic cruise you will find it substantially better value than some other ports you have visited. Amber jewellery and various arts and crafts seemed good buys and various gourmet food items made with local orange Sanddorn (sea buckthorn) berries.

So unless you have a burning desire to visit Berlin I really can recommend a day spent more locally, as you can see from many of our pictures we had some pretty poor weather and still had a great day. When the sun is out it is a really lovely area to visit. I hope you’ve found this helpful, its always great to hear what you think so it would be great if you commented below!

I hope you enjoyed reading about how to spend your cruise visit to Warnemunde and that it will be useful on your cruise. The port features on many Baltic and Northern Europe itineraries cruises – if you are looking for inspiration you could start here …

Cruise 2020

See cruise ships up close

Various organisers and shipping companies have a wealth of offers for you. Regardless of whether you’re planning a short trip on the Baltic or the Norwegian Sea or if you want to tour the seven seas. Of course, the ships belonging to the Rostock shipping company AIDA are regular guests, while the Queen Elizabeth and Norwegian Star have both moored at the port of the Warnemünde resort on multiple occasions. Anyone wanting to observe the impressive ships coming in, from the Warnemünde pier for example, will usually need to get up early as these ships arrive in the mornings or mid-morning. The floating hotels invariably head back out to sea towards the evening. To make sure that you’re in the port at the right time to witness an arrival or departure, take a look at the latest Warnemünde cruise ship calendar when planning your trip!

As finding a parking spot around the port is really difficult, especially during the peak season, your best bet is to park at one of the park and ride facilities at the town entrance and then use local public transport.

Previous guests to Warnemünde

The ninth ship in the Kussmund fleet, the AIDAmar , which launched in 2012, has already visited Warnemünde on several occasions. 253 metres long, it has seven restaurants as well as its own brewery on board. The 294 metre-long Norwegian Star , meanwhile, has an open-air beer garden. The ship, originating from the Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, has been fitted with six hot tubs and a volleyball court.

Among other ships to have arrived in Warnemünde is the Vision of the Seas , which bears the epithet of “glassy ship” due to its large panoramic windows. While at sea, its passengers enjoy spending their free time on the climbing wall or playing mini golf. Meanwhile, the Princess Royal – 330 metres long, 3,600 beds – attracts people thanks to its “Seawalk”, a walkway made of glass which juts over the side of the ship 40 metres above the sea.

Warnemunde, Germany

Passengers are usually taken by train from the port of Warnemunde to Berlin, 150 miles southeast, but the resort town offers a seaside promenade, white-sand beach and beer gardens. In Germany's capital city, visit the Berlin Wall Memorial to see the surviving portion of the barrier, then head to the Brandenburg Gate, which has come to symbolize the city's reunification. Most tours stop at Charlottenburg Palace, situated amid an expansive garden, as well as Bebelplatz square, home to Humboldt University, the State Opera House and an underground installation that honors the authors who were silenced when Nazis burned their books in 1933. Learn about the Holocaust at a memorial to the lost Jews of Europe, and revel in more than 6,000 years of history in the five museums on Museum Island. After browsing the shops along Kurfurstendamm boulevard, duck into a pub for a bratwurst and beer.

Warnemunde Cruise Port

• Ports Of Call

Germany 0 Comments 721 Views

Warnemünde cruise port is a district of Rostock and represents one of the most significant ports in Northern Europe. Being small and quiet, it differs from many other ports of call. It is its hospitality and inimitable charm Warnemünde is popular for. The port is a real hidden gem of the Baltic Sea for those who prefer peacefulness and tranquility to the bustle of huge and vibrant German cities like Berlin. This brief guide will acquaint you with Warnemünde cruise port which is always included in Baltic Sea itineraries .

Where Cruise Ships Dock at Warnemünde Cruise Port

On arrival, cruise ships dock near the quay which is conveniently located in the very center of Warnermüde, two kilometers from the railway station. The cruise terminal can accommodate up to three cruise ships simultaneously, and if there is no place they are allowed to dock at one of the commercial quays located in Rostock and Seehafen, on the opposite side of the river. If you find out that your cruise ship will dock there you should not worry as in such cases, cruise lines can provide a transfer to the city center of Warnemünde. You can also take a bus or grab a taxi to get to the railway station or to get to the most important city sights.

How to Get to Warnemünde Cruise Port from Berlin Airport?

Having arrived at Berlin Airport you, first, have to get to the Hauptbahnhof (the Main Railway Station) and after that having spent approximately 2.5 hours get to Warnemünde cruise port by train. You can get from the airport to the railway station by the Airport Express (FEX) which departs every 30 minutes and the travel time amounts to 33 minutes. You can also use alternative regional trains (routes RB14 and RE70) which depart once an hour. 

What to Do in Warnemünde Cruise Port?

The name of the port is literally translated from German as the “Mouth of the Warnow”, the river at the estuary of which it is located. Warnemünde dates back to the 13th century when it was founded as a small fishing village. As it did not have much economic importance a century later it became a part of the city of Rostock allowing it to get access to the Baltic sea. Only in the 19th century, Warnemünde became an important port town and remarkable resort with a population of almost 10 000 people.

Today, Warnemünde represents the center of marine traffic on the Baltic Sea. It attracts numerous tourists with its authentic and original appearance. Being there and exploring its narrow streets with typical colorful and quaint half-timbered houses you can feel the spirit of the past centuries' village of fishermen.

Am Strom Promenade is the most popular place in Warnemünde where you can find numerous cafes, restaurants, taverns, and souvenir shops. Here you can take amazing atmospheric photos in the background of numerous floating boats.

The Lighthouse is the hallmark of Warnermünde cruise port. It is more than 36 meters high and can be seen from everywhere in the town; from the top of it, you can enjoy a breathtaking panorama of the entire Warnemünde and its outskirts. The entrance fee is 2 euros. For more information please follow the link: https://warnemuende-leuchtturm.de/.  

Sailing is another popular tourist entertainment in Warnemünde cruise port. You can buy a boat tour and have an amazing experience that can not be forgotten ever!

Tours from Warnemünde to Berlin and Rostock

It takes about 2.5 hours to get to Berlin by train. As the travel time is not that short you have to plan the whole day for such a significant sightseeing tour. Of course, it makes sense if you have an extra day in advance. Otherwise, you can be at risk of being late for your cruise ship. 

A short trip from Warnemünde to Rostock can be an excellent idea. The distance is insignificant, and it will take not more than half an hour by train to get there. For more information concerning the schedule, please consult here https://www.bahn.com/en . Rostock can offer you a lot! Among its most popular sights, you can find Sankt Marien Kirche (the oldest, most beautiful, and most important church), the famous University Square, Kröpelin Gate (one of the city’s fortifications dating back to the 13th century), Abbey of the Holy Cross, and many others. Those who are traveling with children will never remain indifferent after having visited the Rostock Zoo. 

Warnemünde as the Seafood Paradise

Warnemünde as the center of the fishery can attract even the most demanding gourmands who like tasting dishes cooked from fish and other sea products. At the cafes and restaurants, you can find a variety of seafood dishes that you can not find anywhere else not only in Germany but in the other parts of Northern Europe. The famous fish sandwich with numerous varieties of fish to choose from, such as herring, halibut, mackerel, and others will be appreciated by everyone. 

Where to Swim in Warnemünde Cruise Port?

In addition to all the above-mentioned, Warnermünde represents a popular seaside resort having some beautiful sandy beaches with clean water and stretching three kilometers along the coast. Of course, it is an excellent idea to relax at one of them!

CRUISE PORT GUIDES

Rostock – Germany

Cruise Port Guide Rostock – Germany: docked

Cruise ships dock somewhere in the port of Rostock. To check where your cruise ship will dock go to: http://www.rostock-port.de/en/cruise-shipping/port-calls/ . Pier 1 to 8 is actually the cruise terminal in Warnemunde , which is a town nearby. The other docks are in the town of Rostock. The information underneath only applies to the docks in Rostock.

The cruise dock in Rostock has limited facilities. Because of the remote location of the dock your cruise line should offer a shuttle service into Rostock. Check this with the front office on board of your ship. The cruise dock in Rostock is about 13 km away from the city centre of Rostock.

Taxis in Rostock

There are usually taxis available at the port. Negotiate a price before you step in. Expect a taxi to Rostock will cost you about 25 euro one way.

Getting from Rostock to Berlin by train

Taking the train from Rostock to Berlin takes between 3 and 4 hours and costs between 40 and 50 euro one way. The train schedule is pretty infrequent. Always plan your journey ahead of time through this website: https://www.bahn.de/p_en/view/index.shtml . The train station to choose are Rostock Hbf and Berlin Hbf (main train station).

Warnemunde, Germany

Passengers are usually taken by train from the port of Warnemunde to Berlin, 150 miles southeast, but the resort town offers a seaside promenade, white-sand beach and beer gardens. In Germany's capital city, visit the Berlin Wall Memorial to see the surviving portion of the barrier, then head to the Brandenburg Gate, which has come to symbolize the city's reunification. Most tours stop at Charlottenburg Palace, situated amid an expansive garden, as well as Bebelplatz square, home to Humboldt University, the State Opera House and an underground installation that honors the authors who were silenced when Nazis burned their books in 1933. Learn about the Holocaust at a memorial to the lost Jews of Europe, and revel in more than 6,000 years of history in the five museums on Museum Island. After browsing the shops along Kurfurstendamm boulevard, duck into a pub for a bratwurst and beer.
