About LGBTQ+ Rostock

Rostock is the largest city in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, a Hanseatic Baltic port with a small but steady queer scene. Bars cluster near the city center, with a cosy gay-and-friends spot on Burgwall and a relaxed cocktail bar out at the Warnemünde seaside resort. The city hosts the biggest Pride in the state, CSD Rostock, drawing several thousand people each July as part of the long-running HanseQueer Kulturwochen. It anchors LGBTQ+ life across the region alongside smaller cities like Schwerin and Greifswald. The seaside setting makes it an easy summer stop on the Baltic coast.
