The Hansestadt Stralsund with its varied history offers the architectural and historical interested visitor a fascinating experience.
About 800 buildings, which are under monumental protecton making Stralsund unique along Germany's Baltic Sea coast.
The approach through Stralsund's charming landscape between the island Rügen and Vorpommern's mainland is an experience in itself. The steep and flat coasts, forests and fields can be enjoyed peacefully from the decks of a ship.
Passengers will be fascinated from the picturesque panorama while entering the harbour of Stralsund. After the brick-trench-bridge one can see the bright brick-red silhouette of the three parish churches.
Especially the time of the Hanse formed the city - the enourmous clinker churches, the imposing monastery grounds from different religous orders, patrician houses - an island city, that is still in parts surrounded by its city wall and its gates.
