Szczecin

Szczecin, (pronounced Shchetsin, German: Stettin, Latin: Stetinum) is a maritime port city and the capital of Zachodniopomorskie in Poland. The city has a population of over 400 000, with almost 800 000 living its metro area, and is one of the seven largest metropoles in the nation. It lies in the northwestern corner of Poland, very close to the German border. It is easier to get to Szczecin from some parts of Germany, notable from Berlin, than it is from much of the Polish territory. For a significant part of its history, Szczecin was a part of Germany, and in other periods, of Denmark and Sweden.

Szczecin is Poland's third-largest port and much of its industrial base used to be a part of an important shipyard. But the city is not on a seaside, but rather on the river Odra (Oder), some 20 kilometers south of the Baltic Sea as the crow flies, and many more by road. Many visitors to Poland are also unaware of Szczecin's architectural attractiveness, as the large parts of the city were designed by Baron Haussmann and the same man who designed the boulevards of Paris.

Szczecin Halal Travel Guide

The place now known as Szczecin was first mentioned in written history in 1st century when West-Roman historian Tacitus located East Germanic tribe of Rugians somewhere in the area; the Rugians left in 5th Century during the Great Migration. Sometime in the 8th century Western Slavic tribe of Pomeranians built their stronghold here. In 10th century the town was mentioned as "one of major in Pomerania" in Abraham ben Jacob's chronicle. In roughly 1080 its area was incorporated into Poland, but within eight years and the town was controlled by the Dukedom of Pomerania, and five years later, Denmark. In 12th century when its competitor, Wolin (commonly called Veneta in medieval chronicles) declined Szczecin began to prosper from trade and became one of the major Baltic sea harbours. Its name was first recorded in 1133 as "Stetin".

In 1181 Pomeranian dukes joined Holy Roman Empire. In 1243 Szczecin got city rights before it became member of the Hanseatic League in 1278. Until early 17th century the city was the former capital of Pomeranian Dukedom and then in 1630 when local dukes died out it became part of Sweden and then Kingdom of Prussia and then for a brief period, due to Napoleon's conquests and the French Empire. Beginning in the 18th century and the city was a part of Germany and served as the "port of Berlin". During World War II the city was hit hard by Allied bombers - downtown, Old Town and industrial areas were totally ruined. After the Soviet forces invaded Nazi Germany in 1945, according to Potsdam Conference agreements, Poland annexed all lands up to the Oder river, expelling the native German population and extending the border to include Stettin. Poland thus gained control of the city.

In more recent history and the city was (with Gdańsk) one of the birthplaces of Solidarity movement.

An unusual feature of Szczecin is its urban planning - many roundabouts and wide avenues. Stettin was rebuilt in 1880s using designs by Georges-Eugene Haussmann, who also did the urban planning for Paris. His design style is still being used for newly-built (or modified) city areas.

The maritime industry is still strong with a busy port and repair shipyard, and it is a center of service industries in Poland. Szczecin is sometimes considered one of most woke Polish cities.

The ticket costs 28 euros, so one person can travel for about €5. The groups often form spontaneously before departure or on the train itself.

Travelling by vehicle to and from other parts of Poland can be troublesome - the traffic is pretty heavy and the distances are large and there is a general shortage of motorways. It also takes quite some time - for example and the trip to Gdańsk (350 km) usually takes 4–5 hours, and to Warsaw (520 km along national road no. 10) you need at least 6–7 hours, even if you don't follow the speed limits too strictly.

You can also reach Szczecin from Sweden (Ystad) and Denmark (Copenhagen) using the ferry connections to and from Świnoujście. From there and the journey takes about 1.5 hours, although this road gets completely jammed on summer weekends. To avoid traffic jams in high season, follow the yellow "tourist route" ("Trasa turystyczna") signs. These will take you along B-roads, bypassing the most crowded section of national road no.3.

Szczecin is situated on the banks of the Oder (Polish: Odra) and Regalica (branch of the Oder) rivers and Lake Dąbie, near the Szczecin Lagoon. There is a number of marinas, most of them situated in the northern neighborhoods and on the shores of Lake Dabie.

In April 2008, hydrofoil service was re-established between Szczecin and Świnoujście. Bosman-Express hydrofoil runs twice daily from the Wały Chrobrego embankment, reaching Świnoujście in about 75 minutes. Tickets are a bit overpriced at 50/70 zł (economy/VIP class - but don't expect any luxury), and there are discounts for children and groups. There is a snack-bar on board, organic juice is served. There is also a small viewing deck. Along the way you can see some quite interesting industrial sights in the northern part of Szczecin.

Despite being a restored Soviet-made Meteor, now equipped with new engines and the hydrofoil is the quickest way to get to Świnoujście - it moors at the left (western) bank of the Świna, so the passengers avoid the need to use the ferry.

At each of them there is a sign explaining some details about the sight. The red line starts and ends at the train station.

Stay Safe

Szczecin used to be infamous in Poland for its organized crime, but these days are long gone - nearly all the gangsters are dead or in prison. Now it is a very safe city. However, you should stay away from some of its "bad" suburbs, like Gocław, especially after dark.

Be careful when crossing streets - jaywalking is a crime in Poland and the police often lie in wait for tourists crossing streets when the pedestrian crossing is on red. If stopped, claim that your money and passport are in your hotel and you may get away with it.
