We echo the other remarks regarding this charming and welcoming little town. Superb beach lovely quaint shops and eating places. Old town blends in well with the new town. Good shopping place for souvenirs. We did however take a ships tour in the afternoon on the "Moli Train" which was really lovely it is quaint, the train runs on the same roads as the local traffic in places. Straight through a little place called Bad Doberon where you can almost shake hands with people at tables outside cafes. Also saw a very large red brick Minster the largest in Europe. This was in a relaxing green park...I left the chat which was too historical for me and wandered in this lovely area in the sun. Enjoy Warnemunde it was a delightful surprise to us.

I agree with a lot of the comments that have been made by several other people. Warnemunde is a lovely town. The berth is almost in the middle of the town and it is only a short walk and you are in the town itself. My husband & I took the little tram that was doing the tour of the town which was very nice, but luckily my husband & I understood German otherwise we would have been lost as to what information was being given. Rostock is also another nice place and like others have said the astronomical clock in the church is a site to see. We found that tour to the Peterhof Gardens and Palaces was really superb. Hope that you have a wonderful time on your cruise.

Berlin can be reached very quickly using the Ice Train. Super fast service. The HOHO bus in Berlin will take you past all the usual must see sites.

We too really enjoyed our day at Warnermunde but made one little mistake - we took one of the local boats thinking it would take us on a cruise up the river, etc. - only to be taken around our ship the Constellation. I think all our fellow passengers were German holiday makers who wanted to get up close to the ship. We still laugh about it. It really is a pretty town and worth a walk along the beach, visit the local cafe's/bars and enjoy the shops.

We enjoyed the relaxed pace of doing our own thing gently in Warnemunde - a leisurely breakfast for a change - then we caught a train to Rostock and a boat back down the river. We couldn't decipher the automatic train ticket machine but there is a ticket office. In Rostock don't miss the astronomical clock inside the church - especially if you can be there at noon for the procession of figures and the chimes. We had a late lunch back onboard and then went out again to stroll through Warnemunde and spend a little time just sitting on the beach.

definately one of the unsung jewels of a baltic cruise. it is a charmng seaside town. there is the canel where the local fishing boats dock. and impressive lighthouse at the harbour entrance. everything is walkable. some charming little bars and coffee shop along canel. a lovely large beach. certainly dnt book any ships excursions ( unless you fancy berlin). just take a stroll, do a bit of shopping and explore.

We were in Warnemunde last year, on a Baltic Cruise (Celebrity Constellation). We took a ships walking tour, which was a waste of time and money. The guide was useless, bad English and what we saw wasn't worth seeing. However, in the afternoon we did our own thing and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Walked to the lighthouse at the habour entrance, which gives a good view of the surrounding area and found a huge beach, which we also walked to. There is a redundant lighthouse near the town and beach, which is open to the public (only cost a few Euro's), from the top of which you get a wonderful 360 degree view of the complete area. The steps are narrow and the head height is low, so watch your head !!! Look out for what seems to be a new housing development on the otherside of the harbour (to the left of the car ferry that goes across the front of the boat). The Germans were so sure they were going to get the 2012 Olympics, Warnemunde was to be the sailing centre and the development was for built for the sailing competitors. What a shame they lost and had to turn the development into flats.

Warnemunde is worth looking around, a pleasant seaside town with a large beach. One of our party went on a cruise up the river and quite enjoyed himself. You can also catch the train to Rostock, about a fifteen minute trip with frequent double decker trains. The station is impossible to miss, get your ticket from the ticket office next door to the information office, don't even try the machines. Note that the trams in Rostock stop underneath the railway station.
