The cobbles of Rostock’s Old Town feel different underfoot compared with the port’s broader quay: narrower, older, each shopfront bearing the patient salt-worn look of a Hanseatic city. Meet under the Kröpeliner Tor and the guide pulls the past forward — church bells, market shouts, the Baltic tug of ships unseen beyond the buildings.
