Stralsund trip planner

Set on the Baltic Sea across from the island of Rugen, Straslund has for centuries focused on fishing and shipbuilding industries. In recent years, a more cosmopolitan vibe has emerged. The town was damaged during World War II, then trudged through 60 years of Communist rule. Straslund wasn't able to restore its historic center to its former glory until Germany was reunited. A Hanseatic trading town, you can still sense how deeply the community is connected to the seaside. Despite its growing tourist industry, Straslund's skyline resembles much more the 1500s than the 2000s. Take a look at our Germany holiday planner to refine the details of your trip to Stralsund.
