Berlin is very far away. You should come back to see the history and architecture in Berlin. Berlin in a few hours is impossible to see and understand.
You can take the train from Warnemünde to Rostock. From port to the train short walk from 10 minutes.
Rostock is a beautiful city that you can visit on foot. There are old churches, a big university and the old town is nice too.
Alternatively, you rent a car and drive to Schwerin (capital city of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern) and look at the city and the castle. Or you drive to the Darss peninsula by car. Typical houses, very nice people, pure relaxation and lots of nature.

If the weather is nice on the day, stay in Warnemünde. The city is small and very touristy but traditional. On the “Old Stream/ Alter Strom” a small river you can do guided harbor cruises and eat a typical North German “Fischbrötchen” fish sandwich with matjes (herring). Shopping is also possible ?
The hotel “Neptun” is the largest hotel in Warnemünde (5 stars, all rooms with seaview) and is still from the socialist era (GDR) where the supreme people of the party lived. In the hotel there is the “Broilerbar”-Restaurant where you can eat traditional East German chicken. We call it “Broiler”. In Bavaria they say “Händl”. ?
The beach of Warnemünde is one of the most beautiful in Germany. It is 5 km long and 100 meters wide.

Please remember that not many people speak good English in this part of Germany. The old people do not speak English at all. In this area of Germany only German and Russian were spoken until the fall of the Berlin Wall 1989. Russian was a compulsory language to learn at school. Please do not be angry if you are not understood.
I hope I could help you something.
Tschüß – we say at the farewell ????
