A
Nikolaikirche
Through the Rathaus' eastern walkway you'll come to the main portal of the 1270 Nikolaikirche, which was modelled on Lübeck's Marienkirche and is filled with art treasures. The main altar (1708), designed by the baroque master Andreas Schlüter, shows the eye of God flanked by cherubs and capped by a depiction of the Last Supper. Also worth a closer look are the high altar (1470), 6.7m wide and 4.2m tall, showing Jesus' entire life, and, behind the altar, a 1394-built (but no longer operational) astronomical clock.

Tafelfreuden
This sunflower-yellow, poppy-red-trimmed wooden villa was built in 1870 as a summer house and is now home to a wonderfully convivial restaurant where set menus utilise fresh produce and are accompanied by an inspired wine list. If you can't drag yourself away, it also has three charming guest rooms (singles €45 to €60, doubles €60 to €75) with beach themes: 'lighthouse', 'shell' and 'Strandkörbe', for the region's iconic sheltered 'beach basket' seats.

Fischermann's
Don't be dissuaded by Fischermann's touristy location in a tall redbrick warehouse on the waterfront. Many of the diners packing its terrace like sardines on sunny days are locals, who head here for its small but stellar selection of fish dishes - the views across to Rügen are just the bonus.
