I have lived in Rostock for over 10 years (I transplanted myself from the otherside of the planet for work). In those 10+ plus years I have visited, as a solo traveller, almost every village, town and city in the state of Mecklenberg-Vorpommern, by local transport, cycling and even walking, and I have always felt safw. If you do not speak German, you will always find someone who can help. The city of Rostock is beautiful, and you are never far from the beach. There are always events on, and a good social scene. Tipps: (1) when you are on the street, in parks, on the beach, in shops, at events or restaurants, greet people with "Moin". Its how many locals greet each other, and it may win them over. (2) hire a bike, and head over to the beachbetween Marktgrafenheide and Graal Muritz. They are mostly empty and you can relax and enjoy yourself. Bring food ans drink with you. Its FKK (nude beaches) as well. Not compulsory, but you should know.

Really safe. I personally never witnessed any Creme. I feel as safe as i can feel. Its also rallye safe for LGBTQAI+ people. In one year you hear about 2 to 3 shocking news (a gay bar was destroyed and some kids attacked euch other with knives).

Rostock is a small town which is pretty divided into two parts… inside circle of quarters has higher living standard, therefore higher class people, therefore less criminality than the outside quarters.

Rostock a spacious, windy and a very safe place. It is in located in one of the poorest regions in Germany, but has a great history, ond of the oldest universities in Germany, an astronomical clock and some really cool bars. There are quarters with different vibes. The one I live in is left-oriented and very open to diversity.
