Walk · 2 h · Free · The openwork-gabled town hall on the Alter Markt, St Nicholas's, St Mary's and the merchants' houses by the harbour, a World Heritage Site

What it is
Stralsund was one of the rich cities of the Hanseatic League and its old town, on an island between lagoons and the Strelasund strait, is a World Heritage Site together with Wismar's. It is Baltic brick Gothic in its purest form: the town hall on the Alter Markt, with its openwork gabled façade that lets the sky show through, St Nicholas's Church next door and, at the other end, the enormous St Mary's. In between, merchants' houses with stepped gables run down to the harbour.
How it works
On your own: start at the Alter Markt, where the tourist office is, continue to the Neuer Markt and St Mary's and go down to the harbour, the Ozeaneum and the Gorch Fock. Flat and short: two hours without going into anywhere.
