Welcome to Stralsund
Once the second most important member of the Hanseatic League, after Lübeck, Unesco-protected Stralsund maintains its elegant medieval profile – despite these days being principally the gateway to the holiday island of Rügen.
Square gables interspersed with Gothic turrets, ornate portals and vaulted arches make it one of the leading examples of Backsteingotik (classic red-brick Gothic gabled architecture) in northern Germany.
Add the unusual sight of holidaymakers in shorts and flip-flops wandering along its historic cobbled streets and you have a rare – but thoroughly enjoyable – combination indeed.
