Attractions in and around Warnemünde
Warnemünde: Strandurlaub mit Hafenflair vor den Toren Rostocks
Warnemünde combines what rarely comes together: one of the widest sandy beaches on the Baltic, genuine fishing-village charm along the Alter Strom canal, and the big-ship romance of an international cruise port. The lighthouse and the Teepott are the landmarks between which holiday life plays out.
The places to stay range from the long-established Ostseehotel Warnemünde via the Hotel Bellevue to modern concepts like the a-ja Resort right on the promenade. Those preferring independence rent a holiday flat – the Residenz Seestern and the Apartment SeeTang stand for the many privately let quarters with balcony and sea view.
Rostock's old town is 20 minutes from Warnemünde, Rostock Zoo tempts families, and the Molli steam railway and the resort of Kühlungsborn lie within excursion range. Booked directly with the host, the holiday budget is spared agency fees – and the landlord will tell you when the fish rolls on the Alter Strom are at their freshest.
