There is no such a walking trail in any other Polish city. It leads from the city center from The Pomeranian Dukes' Castle through John Paul II Alley, Kasprowicza Park to the forest. Although it is a long way to go it is worth traveling as a whole by for example combining the walk with the bike tour. After visiting the antique part of the city, you can ride a bike through Jasne Błonia Alleys, Kasprowicza Park with its charming Rusałka Lake and Summer Theater to the Rose Garden. Next, following the forest pathways you can reach some city recreational facilities. You can take a rest in the city lido or on a landscaped forest fields. On Głębokie Lake you can change your bike for a kayak or water bicycle. Rope Park waits for amateurs of active relaxation. Your trip can be continued through the forest for example following the trail of Seven Mills -Gubałówka.

The Chrobry Embankment, formerly Haken’s Terrace, one of the most beautiful places in Europe. From here you can watch the vast panorama of the Odra River and the harbour. The viewing terraces are 500 m long and are located 19 m above the Odra river bank. The earliest written history of the area dates back to the sixteenth century. In 1873, a demolition of the eighteenth-century fortifications of Szczecin began. Thanks to the great commitment of Hermann Haken, High Mayor of Szczecin, in the years 1902-1905 a viewing terrace was formed on the site of Fort Leopold. Wide staircases run on both sides from the terrace to the banks of the river, where two pavilions were erected as the entrance to the restaurant, created contemporarily in the remains of the fortifications. At the bottom, there is a fountain decorated with figures of John of Kolno and Wyszak and two tall columns stylized as lighthouses. In the years 1906 to 1912 in the northern part of the terrace an architectural complex was built for the then regency of Szczecin, where now the authorities of the West-Pomeranian province have their headquarters. In addition, in the southern part of the Embankment a building complex of the Maritime Academy is located (from the years 1902-1905 and 1918-1921) and, housed in the same building, Contemporary Theatre and the Maritime Branch of the National Museum. Moreover, a large park is situated near the Chrobry Embankment.

Have you ever seen an iceberg in the city center? If not, you must see the new premises of Szczecin Philharmonic which majestically emerges from urban buildings and pervasive greenery. Its metal and glass facade supplemented with light illuminations catch the eye of each person who comes nearby. The building was designed by catalonian architects from Barozzi Veiga from Barcelona and immediately has become the icon of our city. Modern design combined with inspiration taken from historic building of Konzerthaus creates a coherent whole of past, present and future of Szczecin. It has received numerous awards, including the Mies van der Rohe Award in 2015, the Award of the President of the Republic of Poland for the Best Architectural Structure in Poland in the years 2013-2014 in the “LIFE IN ARCHITECTURE” contest, and the award of the “bryla. pl” website dealing with architecture. During the summer there are regular guided tours. There is also a cafe on the ground floor.

Anyone entering Szczecin by bridges over the Oder River can see the towering red-brick gothic Cathedral and an elegant, pale silhouette of a Renaissance castle with green towers, which used to be the seat of the dukes of the Griffins dynasty who ruled the Duchy of Pomerania. The Pomeranian Dukes’ Castle has five wings and two courtyards. Acting as a cultural institution it organizes an array of cultural events: concerts, theatre performances, exhibitions, conferences and meetings to popularize science, as well as to spread knowledge about the history of West Pomerania. The largest wing houses an Opera. In the wing that housed a mint in the olden days one can find today Cultural and Tourist Information Centre. There is a panoramic terrace on the rooftop of the northern wing from where splendid views can be appreciated. The wing’s basement houses a Vault with sarcophaguses of six princes. The Duke Boguslaw X hall, which used to be a princely chapel, is now a concert hall with a polychromatic ceiling decorated in Renaissance style. A 17th century astronomical clock is the Castle’s special tourist attraction. Also a room dedicated to Eilhard Lubinus and the Witches’ Cell are definitely worth a visit.

It is on this mystery Island that the new heart of Szczecin is being born. Today’s Łasztownia is a completely different place to the closed port island from a while back. Once an isolated, mysterious space, today it is one of the favourite places for people going for walks, running, biking or fans of good coffee and international cuisine. Gradually renovated buildings of the old butcher’s complex, historic port cranes, new boulevards, cafés, restaurants, a yacht port and big events bring huge crowds to Łasztownia. It is here where you can find Euroregion Culture Center “Stara Rzeźnia”, the growing Marine Science Centre, and every day the Cranosauruses perform their illuminated dance. The number of attractions creating the atmosphere of this unique place is still growing. In the future we will see more investments and projects which will eventually be the implementation of the winning concept of the international competition for the island development vision. Walking on the Łasztownia wharfs, if you’re lucky enough, you will feel the aroma of chocolate, coming from the Gryf chocolate factory. After dark you’ll surely see the illumination of three historic cranes, nicknamed “Cranosauruses”. Don’t forget to take a picture with a marine sign “SZCZECIN”, located on the square at the end of Old Town Quay. This is also the place where you can best see the Old Town panorama, with the monumental buildings of Wały Chrobrego and the Ducal Castle. From Łasztownia, we go directly onto the neighbouring Grodzka Island, which attracts both children and adults with a beach, beach bar and events for families, kings of the dance floor and fans of open-air cinemas.

“Art Depot” in Szczecin is an old tram depot which was built in 1912 with reinforced concrete. It has a sloping roof and a front glass wall with a clock. Since 2006 it has been one of the biggest Polish museums of a technological profile. The collection of almost 100 antique vehicles that was bought from Leszek Liszewski is the most precious. There, you can find such curiosities as micro-car Smyk or the one and only SUV version of Fiat 126p called in Polish “maluch” (tiny). Moreover, there are trams, buses (that you can enter), motorcycles, bikes,non-typical vehicles, electronic, telecommunication and household equipment and many more.

Jasne Błonia Square is a wide green house located by the Szczecin Municipal Office. It's a great place to rest: you can walk, ride a bike or sit comfortably on a bench or on the lawn. The park was built in the years 1925-27, it was designed with rows of maple plane trees on the sides of a wide lawn with ground-based flower arrangements in the middle. It is the largest concentration of this species of trees in Poland, of which over 200 are growing here. Computational continuity is ensured by an alley stretching towards Kasprowicz Park and further to the Arkonian Forest. Try to come to the park in early spring when the lawns are carpeted with bright crocus flowers.

It's one of branches of the National Museum in Szczecin, where we present the newest history of Szczecin and West Pomerania region, with particular attention given to social protests and breaking events in the years 1970–1971, 1980–1981, 1988–1989, that lead Poland to regain independence in 1989. The building that houses our museum is partially hidden under the Solidarity Square. The exhibition is interactive, apart from subject-related pieces, in its underground rooms you may see films, pictures and recordings of the events’ witnesses and participants. Location of the museum has not been chosen by an accident - it was here when on 17 December 1970 first shots were fired at the protesters. In July 2016, the Dialogue Centre Upheavals was ranked the Best Public Space in Europe. Four months later, on November 18, the same building was named World Building of the Year during the Festival of Architecture in Berlin.

St. James’ church in Szczecin was founded in 1187 be a wealthy townsman Jakob Beringer from Bamberg and it was constructed outside the city fortifications, on a hill, just like the Benedictine monastery church of St. Archangel Michael in Bamberg. The building was rebuilt several times. In the 13th century, the building had the form of a three-nave Gothic basilica, without buttresses, but later the naves were raised. In 1534, the temple passed into the hands of Protestants. Inside the cathedral there is a chancel with an altar table and decorative brass reliefs. There is also a triptych with reliefs from the 14th century and an elaborate crucifix from the turn of the 15th and 16th centuries. The cathedral has 19 chapels, including the Chapel of Our Lady of Częstochowa with a neo-Gothic interior and the image of Our Lady of Częstochowa; the Baptism Chapel with a triptych from the 16th century; and the Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament with a beautiful altar from the end of the 14th century. The organs in the cathedral are truly impressive. The first mention of the instrument comes from 1679; unfortunately, they did not survive the turbulent history of the place. In 2008, new, large organs were built. An interesting fact about the instrument is the fact that the main part of the organ, weighing about 30 tons, is suspended above the nave without any support. The counterweight is the construction located at the end of the choir. The instrument is 10 m high, has 66 voices and consists of 4743 pipes, from 11 mm to 10 m high. In 2008 the cathedral’s tower was rebuilt and its original appearance was restored. There is a viewing platform on the tower, available for tourists all year round. After the renovations, the tower is 110.18 m tall and is the second tallest building in Szczecin. The building is currently the second tallest temple in Poland, right after the basilica in Licheń. The temple is part of the European Route of Brick Gothic.

This is one of the two former gates to the city, which still exist today. There are (also online) numerous engravings, paintings and photographs showing the Royal Gate (Brama Królewska) in the past. Amazing monument, which together with the buildings in the area (philharmonic, Museum of Upheavals, Church of St. Peter and Paul, st. James' Cathedral ...) creates a unique atmosphere.

Łasztownia (ger. Lastadie) is located in the very heart of Szczecin, vis-a-vis the Chrobry Embankment. It is a river island whose history stratches back to the Middle Ages. After the Allied air raids of 1942 - 1944, most of the buildings on Łasztownia were destroyed. Currently, Łasztownia is one of the most interesting (and most mysterious) places in Szczecin. One particularly interesting spot is the part of the Old Town Wharf situated right next to the historic cranes, affectionately dubbed the "cronosaurs". Following the renovation works, they have regained their former splendour. Symbols of the port of Szczecin, these historical cranes from 1929 are most beautiful during the night.

The touristic route leads among the thirteen tenements located in the down town area and their extraordinary residents of pre- and postwar period. The first walk was an exceptional event with adventures and surprises that reflected the old residents' passions. Over one hundred people, interested in our city's history, participated.

After the 1147 crusade against the Polabian Slavs, Szczecin became a place of German colonisation. St Jacob’s Church, intended for German colonists, was consecrated in 1187. It was founded by Beringer, a Bramberg pilgrim, and given to the custody of the Benedictine brothers from the St Michael Monastery in Bramberg. The construction of the brick church continued for dozens of years, starting in the middle of the 13th Century from a three-aisle basilica with two spires and a basilica-like presbytery, surrounded with a by-pass and a circle of chapels. The altars were founded by the Szczecin guilds and companies. The presbytery reconstruction started in 1370. The basilica frame was changed into the hall frame with a circle of chapels between the interior buttresses. At the outset of the 15th Century Henry Brunsberg built additional chapels on the southern aisle, decorating them with impressive ornaments made of tiled moulders. In 1456 the southern spire collapsed during a hurricane, destroying the basilica corpus. During reconstruction, additional chapels were erected in the northern section, together with only one spire in the western part, as a result of which the corpus was changed from the basilica frame into a hall church frame. The reconstruction work was completed in 1503. In the last 25 years of the 17th Century, the interior section was reconstructed in the Baroque style. The St Jacob bell, constructed by Wawrzyniec Köckeritz, the Szczecin bell-founder, was placed in the church tower. The altar was created by sculptor Erhard Löffler, and the painting, entitled “Taken down the cross”, was made by Lengereich. The organ front was sculptured by the Amsterdam master Van der Linden. While assembling the organs with a large scale of sounds, advice was provided by master Buxtehude from Lübeck. The capacity of this instrument was wonderfully utilised by organist and composer Karl Loewe, residing in Szczecin in 1820-1866. The church was badly damaged during the 16 August 1944 shelling. Its reconstruction did not start until 1972 and has continued until today. The official consecration of the cathedral was performed on 31 May 1982 by Kazimierz Majdański, the Szczecin-Kamieniec Bishop. The status of Cathedral Basilica was given by Pope John Paul II on 23 May 1983, and the status of Metropolitan Basilica on 25 March 1992. Considering the ongoing additions to the rich furnishings of the church, we suggest that you buy a current version of the guidebook while visiting this astonishing place. The tower is an element of the St. James Metropolitan Basilica Cathedral. An observation deck is available for tourist all year long. The entrance to the terrace is only via a lift.

The National Museum in Szczecin was established in 1945 and is situated in a beautiful, old building. Here you can see exhibitions including ancient and modern works of art as well as ethnographic and archaeological objects.

The first mention of the wooden market hall, which was also the venue for the deliberations of the court and the meetings of the city councillors called “theatrum”, dates back to 1245. The current Gothic town hall hails from mid-15th Century, with Henryk Brunsberg considered to be its builder. The richly-decorated façade featuring glazed stones adds a painterly style to the structure. The building has arcades on its south wall, which used to play host to court proceedings on summer days. The City Council convened here twice a week. From the 14th Century the resolutions of the City Council were announced twice a year, i.e. on 1 May and 29 September. As some of them were quite peculiar, it is no wonder that such announcements sometimes left the city in tumult. Examples included the introduction of the anti-Hussite tax in 1428 and the raising of the prices of spirits in 1616. Less severe regulations were e.g. the resolution from 1418 against calumniators and rumourmongers slandering “lords, dukes, knights, squires, ladies, girls, priests, and vassals...”, or one law from 1558 which limited the luxury and excess during wedding celebrations, baptisms, and funerals. From 5 to 13 December 1570 the town hall hosted a Peace Congress ending the Northern Seven Years' War between Sweden and Denmark. After the damage suffered during the Brandenburg sieges, it was rebuilt in the Baroque style and served its purpose until the City Council was moved to the New Town Hall in 1879. Reconstructed again after the War in 1975 as the National Museum, it houses exhibitions dedicated to Szczecin’s past.

The Museum of Contemporary Art is located in a classicist building of former Szczecin stronghold garrison headquarters, built in the last quarter of the 18th century, repeatedly converted in subsequent years. As long, as until the end of World War II, it was used by military authorities. In 1970s it was handed over to the National Museum in Szczecin. In 1980, after a conversion, it became the seat of a branch of the Museum related to contemporary art.

For those eager for adventures and communing with wild and unspoiled nature the best way to see this region is by kayak, which makes it possible to discover its wild and intimate corners. While kayaking through a picturesque network of winding canals, you pass fields of forget-me-nots, kingcups, irises, ferns and hundreds of beautifully blossoming plants.

Among dense bulrush you can look out for about 200 species of birds that have their hatcheries here, including herons, cormorants, sea eagles, buzzards and kingfishers. The winding flood waters of Międzyodrze are the result of human activity. The remains of regulation works from the beginning of the 19th Century such as forgotten sluices, pumping stations, embankments, etc. make a huge impression.

The Fanaberia tea house opened its doors to you in 2003, but the idea of its creation germinated and matured much earlier. The curiosity of the world and the journeys resulting from it became an inspiration - the closer ones, for example to Krakow, as well as those further, even to Paris. During my stay in these cities, the aura of local cafes, all these mysterious, discreet and at the same time vibrant places, had a soothing effect on me. Wanting to take at least a bit of charm of those memories with me to Szczecin, I set out on the most important journey of my life - a journey through the world of flavors and aromas. Journey through distant cultures, but also the quiet corners of home.

The first mention of the wooden market hall, which was also the venue for the deliberations of the court and the meetings of the city councillors called “theatrum”, dates back to 1245. The current Gothic town hall hails from mid-15th Century, with Henryk Brunsberg considered to be its builder. The richly-decorated façade featuring glazed stones adds a painterly style to the structure. The building has arcades on its south wall, which used to play host to court proceedings on summer days. The City Council convened here twice a week. From the 14th Century the resolutions of the City Council were announced twice a year, i.e. on 1 May and 29 September. As some of them were quite peculiar, it is no wonder that such announcements sometimes left the city in tumult. Examples included the introduction of the anti-Hussite tax in 1428 and the raising of the prices of spirits in 1616. Less severe regulations were e.g. the resolution from 1418 against calumniators and rumourmongers slandering “lords, dukes, knights, squires, ladies, girls, priests, and vassals...”, or one law from 1558 which limited the luxury and excess during wedding celebrations, baptisms, and funerals. From 5 to 13 December 1570 the town hall hosted a Peace Congress ending the Northern Seven Years' War between Sweden and Denmark. After the damage suffered during the Brandenburg sieges, it was rebuilt in the Baroque style and served its purpose until the City Council was moved to the New Town Hall in 1879. Reconstructed again after the War in 1975 as the National Museum, it houses exhibitions dedicated to Szczecin’s past. In Cellars there is a restaurant serving polish cuisine named "Wyszak".

The Museum of Contemporary Art is located in a classicist building of former Szczecin stronghold garrison headquarters, built in the last quarter of the 18th century, repeatedly converted in subsequent years.

In 1980, after a conversion, it became the seat of a branch of the Museum related to contemporary art. Series of temporary exhibitions carries out a programme of propagating and promoting contemporary art on the basis of the Museum's own collection (Polish and foreign art) and projects co-arranged with other institutions, organizations and artists in Poland and abroad. Beside presentations of vital phenomena of Polish art, regional programme focused on the most important artists of Western Pomerania, the Museum coordinates international Mare Articum programme, within which, among others, it organizes Baltic Contemporary Art Biennial.

The Museum of Regional Traditions is located in Baroque Landed Gentry House (Pommersche Landsmannschaft), built in years 1726–1727 according to the order of Prussian king Frederick William I. The building was designed by Gerhard Cornelius de Walrave (1692–1773), the author of, among others, famous Kłodzko fortess and fortifications of Szczecin. The palace served as the session hall of Pomeranian provincial authorities and a royal residence during king's stays in Szczecin. Over the entrance, there is the coat of arms of Pomerania and at the top of the facade – coat of arms of the king of Prussia against a background of panoply (crossed military equipment) and allegoric images of royal virtues: Justice and Sagacity. In the period between the world wars the palace was re-arranged into the seat of the Pomeranian State Museum (Pommersches Landesmuseum), and after World War II the building was taken over by the Museum of Western Pomerania, presently the National Museum in Szczecin. It houses exhibitions of, above all, relics of Pomeranian art from middle ages to Baroque, including Romanesque capitals from Kołbacz, early-Gothic Crucifix from Kamień Pomorski, a portrait of duke Philip I by Lucas Cranach the Younger and impressive jewels of Pomeranian dukes from the 16th and 17th centuries.

'Little Spain in the heart of Szczecin' - this is how Ole Bistro & Tapas restaurant located on the Boulevards can be described in a few words. The idea for its creation was born in the minds of the owners long before the opening, and the search for a suitable place took over 2 years ... Having and running your own restaurant was a natural need. Inspired by the Spanish climate, they decided to move a small part of the Iberian Peninsula to their hometown. They wanted to create a unique place where the door is always open, the atmosphere is loose and joyful, and the food and wine delicious and non-standard. The choice of location was not accidental. A beautiful view of the Szczecin panorama and the flowing Odra River have made the Szczecin Bulwary an ideal place. However, before the restaurant could serve delicious Spanish food, the chefs carefully composed the menu for two months, taking care of every detail and repeatedly testing the menu items. At the end of October 2017, Ole Bistro & Tapas was officially opened. A warm, energetic place has been created, where you have the opportunity to try wonderful Spanish-European cuisine and regional specialties in a pleasant atmosphere, with a beautiful view and Spanish music in the background.

'Little Spain in the heart of Szczecin' - this is how Ole Bistro & Tapas restaurant located on the Boulevards can be described in a few words. The idea for its creation was born in the minds of the owners long before the opening, and the search for a suitable place took over 2 years ... Having and running your own restaurant was a natural need. Inspired by the Spanish climate, they decided to move a small part of the Iberian Peninsula to their hometown. They wanted to create a unique place where the door is always open, the atmosphere is loose and joyful, and the food and wine delicious and non-standard. The choice of location was not accidental. A beautiful view of the Szczecin panorama and the flowing Odra River have made the Szczecin Bulwary an ideal place. However, before the restaurant could serve delicious Spanish food, the chefs carefully composed the menu for two months, taking care of every detail and repeatedly testing the menu items. At the end of October 2017, Ole Bistro & Tapas was officially opened. A warm, energetic place has been created, where you have the opportunity to try wonderful Spanish-European cuisine and regional specialties in a pleasant atmosphere, with a beautiful view and Spanish music in the background.
