From Berlin to Rostock I was able to use the regional express train, which took less than 3 hours. It was very crowded at the beginning, which made it difficult for me to get a seat. This seat was very uncomfortable for long periods of time and there was also no internet connection. There were plenty of power sockets available. The staff were very friendly and provided further information about connections. The train itself was very clean, but the toilets didn't look very hygienic. As I arrived in Rostock without changing trains and without any delays, I can recommend the journey.

Be sure to take note of its striking red-brick façade adorned with ornate gables—an architectural style known as Brick Gothic—that truly sets this landmark apart.
