Szczecin

The historic capital of West Pomerania goes by the name of Stettin or Szczecin in Polish. The city is located right where the Oder River flows into the Baltic Sea. For hundreds of years, Szczecin has been a city at the crossroads of roads running from east to west, up to Scandinavia and down to southern Europe. This has certainly influenced the city's development and today Szczecin is a centre of trade and industry, education and culture and although the city has changed a lot over the years, it remains a very attractive city with a cosy atmosphere and both charming and exciting sights and impressive architecture, which include the National Museum, the Cathedral and the impressive Ducal Castle.

Along the square runs a red dotted line which is a tourist route. Follow the line and discover the main sights of Szczecin. The walk can take a few hours, especially when exploring the Old Market Square. The route starts near the main railway station, Dworzec Glowny PKP, and leads to 42 attractions.
