The eastern part of its territory is dominated by industrial estates and the forested Rostock Heath. Rostock is considered as the only regiopolis in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
Regiopolis Rostock
Rostock is the first city region that defines itself not only as a city in its boundaries but as a regiopolis, with a supra-regional sphere of influence. A regiopolis can be compared to a metropolis but on a smaller scale. This is a sign for the inter-regional cooperation and economic dynamics that can be found in the Rostock area. A task force with different actors such as the Hanseatic city of Rostock, the administrative district of Rostock, the Regional Planning Association Middle Mecklenburg/Rostock and the local business organizations are working on the promotion and advancement of the concept.
Rostock is located nearly centrally on Mecklenburg-Vorpommern's Baltic Sea coast. The city is crossed by the Warnow.
The seaside part of Rostock, Rostock-Warnemünde, is about 16 km (10 mi) to the north of the historic city center. The west and the southeast are the most densely populated parts of town. The overseas port is to the east of Rostock. Rostock stretches 21.6 km (13.4 mi) from the Baltic Sea to the south and 19.4 km (12.1 mi) from east to west.
Rostock has an oceanic climate typical of the South Baltic Sea region, and the climate has more in common with that found in southern Sweden and in Sealand, Denmark than the typical German oceanic climate that usually has milder winter days.
Rostock features a good inner-city system of trams, buses, S-Bahn, and ferries. A bus system serves other locations in the surroundings.

We thought a lot whether we should have called in Rostok or not. For some reason, it seemed to me a purely industrial (port) city and a very, very German one! However, I'm glad that we stopped there! Well, there are no so many places of interest as in other big German cities, but the Old Town is... |
