The City

"Echte Stettiner" (True Szczeciner) - this was the way to describe someone stubborn, resolute, courageous, raw - in XIX-th century. Genius loci of Szczecin is felt here easily: in the communist era Szczecin was the city, where strikes broke out, where people put up a continuous resistance to the communist regime. Today, Szczecin is also full people with a firm, but at the same time welcoming character. Szczecin was the capital of the Duchy of Pomerania, but also had been ruled by Denmark, Prussia, France, Sweden, Germany. Today it's inside the Polish borders. This extraordinary past can be seen today on every step: in architecture, urban planning, squares, parks; while walking you pass the still operating water pumps, shelters, old signs. During the Second World War, Szczecin was destroyed in 80%, so - in contrast to most of the cities - we don't have the Old Town. Currently, it is being re-built. Even visiting pubs and discos brings you a trip in time: in one of the pubs you can move to the seventeenth century, to the time of the Swedish Szczecin (it is opened in the former city fortifications); in another - to the Communist times (when there was a militia station). One of nightclubs is located in the former headquarters of the Royal Iron Railway. The past is everywhere here and it is always clearly visible - while walking in Poland's largest cemetery, which is both a park and botanical garden; the largest shelter in today's Poland, during the session in the oldest cinema in the world... Szczecin is also the history of technology: the wreck of the tanker made of concrete, Poland's only one railway drawbridge or the oldest floating dock in Europe. At the same time Szczecin is not afraid of momentum and bold architecture. Two buildings that have won the highest architectural awards make this city even more woth visiting: Szczecin Philharmonic, that gained the Mies van der Rohe award and the Centre for Dialogue Upheavals with the World Building of the Year award that was won during the festival of architecture in Berlin in November 2016. How much time is needed to see Szczecin? Someone may say that the one-day intensive tour will do the trick. But this is not true, because Szczecin is not only about the past. Szczecin is also the vastness of space, water and greenery, which is best viewed from boat or kayak. Szczecin is a Floating Garden - many rare species of aquatic plants and animals have here their home. Szczecin has many faces. How much time is needed to see and get to know them all?

Top 10!

Szczecin is a city with lots of stunning places. Some are famous for their history or architecture; some of them are hard to find and you really need a good guide to show you them. And some are to find here!

Dining

Szczecin offers an abundance of restaurants to suit all tastes and pockets. The choice is yours but whilst here, you ought to indulge in a hearty traditional Polish meal. Savour one of Poland's favourite meat dishes "kielbasa" (Polish sausage), and do not forget to sample the numerous pickled dishes as well. Polish food is truly flavoursome and plentiful. In Szczecin, we have few regional dishes, such as Pasztecik, Paprykarz Szczeciński, Szczecińskie Pierniki, and Frytburger. Paprykarz Szczeciński: A Polish canned fish spread made from ground fish, rice, tomato paste and vegetable oil, seasoned with onion, salt, and spices. The recipe was developed in the 60s on a 20th-century laboratory of Deep-Sea Fishing and Fishing Sevices Company "Gryf" from Szczecin. Those were the golden years of the cult can. Szczecin production finished in the early 90s. Later the brand has been used by many manufacturers. Pasztecik – Pasztecik (Pastry) is a favourite snack of many Szczeciners and tourists. Pastries are made of deep-fried rolled yeast cake, stuffed with meat or vegetable filling. The most popular stuffings are meat and mushrooms with cheese. On the outside, the cake is crispy and slightly crunchy; inside it is tender and delicate. Pastries are usually served with spicy beetroot soup. The origins of Szczecin pastries dates back to 1969 when the first bar serving meals cooked with the use of a machine bought from the Russian army. The same bar is still serving them. In 2019, there was the 50th birthday of the bar called “Pasztecik”, the one that first served pastries. The bar is located at aleja Wojska Polskiego 46. Szczecińskie Pierniki (Szczecin’s gingerbread cookies): The tradition of baking gingerbread cookies in the Pomerania region dates back to the mid-nineteenth century. Stettiner Poperkoken could be bought in all bakeries and pastry shops in the city. Sweet treats took the shape of ships, sailors, anchors, fish, and seagulls. Today, we can also boast the fragrant, edible souvenir in "Filipinka" bakery at Witkiewicza 1b street. Frytburger – It’s the local version of a kebab. It’s is just meat with fries in a roll with sauces. You can always go with the vegan version without meat, which is called Bułka z Frytkami – roll with fries.
