Advantages of the guest card & information on the tourist tax
One contribution - many advantages: as in almost all German spa resorts, the guests have to pay a tourist tax in the Rostock seaside resorts (Warnemünde, Hohe Düne, Markgrafenheide and Diedrichshagen). The tourist tax is an important financial contribution to the maintenance and improvement of the tourist and spa infrastructure. As a thank you for their contribution, guests enjoy numerous benefits with local partners as well as free/discounted use of many services provided by the Rostock & Warnemünde Tourist Board.
Your contribution
The amount of the tourist tax is calculated per day during your stay. The days of arrival and departure count together as one day. You pay the tourist tax directly to your host, who then pays it to the tourist office Rostock & Warnemünde and hands out the guest card.
