City of Ro­s­tock

Trans­porta­tion in Ro­s­tock

Whether they’re go­ing to the the­atre, zoo or beach, Ro­s­tock­ers love to use their ex­cel­lent pub­lic trans­port sys­tem, con­sist­ing of an S-Bahn (sub­ur­ban rail­way), tram, buses and fer­ries. Over 80% of all des­ti­na­tions are lo­cated near a tram stop. And the best bit is you only need one ticket. This one ticket is valid for the en­tire jour­ney, no mat­ter which trans­port com­pany you’re us­ing – sim­ply change sta­tions and con­tinue on your way.

With a net­work span­ning some 200 kilo­me­tres and more than 550 sta­tions, Ro­s­tocker Strassen­bahn AG (RSAG) is the largest lo­cal trans­port com­pany in Ro­s­tock, op­er­at­ing a to­tal of six tram lines and 21 bus lines within the Verkehrsver­bund Warnow (VVW) trans­port sys­tem.

A ferry trans­ports pas­sen­gers and ve­hi­cles across the Neuer Strom wa­ter­way be­tween Warnemünde and Hohe Düne.

Ro­s­tock also con­sid­ers it­self a bike-friendly city, and is cur­rently in the process of ex­pand­ing its track net­work. Con­nec­tions to the wider world, mean­while, are avail­able at the Übersee­hafen (in­ter­na­tional port) with its fer­ries, and the
Warnemünde Cruise Cen­tre. Ro­s­tock cen­tral sta­tion and Warnemünde have trains to des­ti­na­tions be­yond just Ham­burg and Berlin. And if you
want to travel even faster, take a flight from Ro­s­tock-Laage air­port.
