Discover Stralsund
Stralsund is one of Germany's best-preserved Hanseatic cities — a UNESCO World Heritage Site surrounded by the waters of the Strelasund and the gateway to Rügen Island. A city that breathes history and yet is very much alive.
The Best of the Old Town
Stralsund's Old Town sits on a peninsula between the Strelasund and several coastal lagoons. Gothic brick churches, historic townhouses and gabled façades define the cityscape — inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List together with Wismar in 2002.
Town Hall & Old Market
The Gothic town hall with its unique blind arcade façade is considered one of the finest in northern Germany. The Old Market (Alter Markt) is the heart of the Old Town.
St. Nikolai & St. Mary's Church
Two of the mightiest Gothic churches in northern Germany dominate Stralsund's skyline. St. Nikolai impresses with an enormous triumphal cross from the 14th century.
Harbour & Bodden Waters
Stralsund's historic harbour with its tall ships and traditional fishing boats offers spectacular views over the Strelasund and the Rügen Bridge. Stroll, fish or take a ferry ride.
OZEANEUM Stralsund
The OZEANEUM is Germany's most visited ocean museum — multiple winner of the "European Museum of the Year" award. Across more than 8,000 m², visitors dive into the world of the North and Baltic Seas and the deep oceans. Live animals, a life-size model of a humpback whale and her calf, and spectacular aquariums make for an unforgettable experience for young and old alike. More at ozeaneum.de.
