Hi, With the exception of seaside/tourist towns like Warnemunde and some shops in large railway stations there is no Sunday shopping in Germany. Museums and tourist attractions are open Sunday, if they have a day off it is usually Monday. Cafes and restaurants are open of course.

 

A day ticket is always the best option if you are going further than Rostock. However, if you buy a Mecklenburg Lander Ticket (eg for Schwerin) you will still need local transport tickets for the tram journey from the Rostock central station to Rostock city centre. For more information and prices please see pages 'Tickets - Deutsche Bahn' and 'Tickets - Local Transport' on my web site.

 

Happy cruising :)

thanks, Anni. I'm thinking about going to Rostock for the 11 a.m. walking tour (does it operate on Sundays?), and then moving onto Schwerin to visit the Palace. Finally, returning to Warnemunde for the evening (our ship is in port from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.). Does this itinerary make sense? And if so, I assume we would take the train to Rostock with the tram into the city centre, and then return to the train station to travel to Schwerin, correct? and in Schwerin we can walk to the Palace?

thanks again for all of your help.

Anni,

this is a wonderful thread but it's so long now, I hope you don't mind me asking a couple of questions that are probably already answered!

we will be docking in Warnemude in June, on a Sunday. Our plan is to spend some time in Warnemude, Rostock, and Schwerin. But I did find a post from you indicating that shops in Rostock and Schwerin are closed on Sundays. Can you tell me what you would recommend doing in those towns on a Sunday? Also, we will use the train service...should we purchase a day ticket, or individual tickets?

appreciate your help....

Got Caribe Hilton for $167 plus taxes of $44.75, for one night. Bid only on Resort category, San Juan. Original bid of $135 was rejected, at which time it was suggested that I add $32 - that did it!
