TransportPunctualityApart from the 20-minute delay when our bus arrived, the journey from Berlin to Rostock with FlixBus went almost without a hitch. The price I paid for my ticket was more than fair and with a journey time of around three hours, this bus service is an excellent alternative to the sparsely developed rail network or travelling by car. As always, the equipment on the bus did not disappoint either and was in great condition as usual.

Germany uses the euro (€) as its currency. Travelers generally find it convenient to use cards, especially contactless payments, in cities and larger establishments. However, cash is still widely accepted and sometimes preferred in smaller shops, markets, and rural areas. Carrying some cash is recommended for flexibility.
In Rostock, travelers should be cautious of pickpocketing, especially in crowded areas like the city center and public transport. Taxi scams can occur, so it's advisable to use official taxi services or pre-book rides. Additionally, be aware of overcharging in some bars or restaurants frequented by visitors. Staying vigilant and securing personal belongings helps ensure a safe visit.
Pack lightweight, versatile clothing suitable for the destination's climate, and use secure, lockable luggage to protect belongings. Keep essential items like travel documents, medication, and valuables in a carry-on bag for easy access. Use packing organizers or cubes to maximize space and maintain order. Lastly, include a small first aid kit and personal hygiene items for added comfort during travel.
