For culinary specialities, we recommend a visit to one of the many restaurants on the harbour, where you can try freshly caught fish. Typical regional dishes such as potato pancakes or matjes should also definitely be on your list!

Outdoors, in good weather, you can go on wonderful hikes along the coast or take bicycle tours through the idyllic landscape. Water sports such as sailing or surfing are also on offer. In bad weather, there are also numerous indoor activities such as visits to museums or wellness offers in the nearby spa hotels.

It is particularly beautiful in Sassnitz in spring and summer, when nature is in full bloom. But autumn also has its charm with its colourful foliage and mild temperatures. In winter, you can enjoy the fresh air on a walk along the coast and then stop off at a cosy beach bar.
