Some more pics of Rostock:
Here's the beautiful main building of the university of Rostock, which was founded in 1412 und is one of the oldest universities in northern Europe.
This is one of the main shopping roads of the city, a large pedestrian area along the Kroepeliner Strasse. And even if it's the usual mix of fashion and food stores, the beautiful old houses make it special somehow.
And what's the best thing to do after shopping? To enter a sidewalk cafe, sit down, have a huge coffee and watch the people passing by :-)
