Sightseeing while walking - guided city tours are underway

Summer holidays can be the perfect time for wandering and discovering new places. Szczecin is full of mysteries, which can be explored during the Transborder Guided City Walks. The upcoming one is this Saturday.

Is it possible to fall in love with Szczecin? What does our city have in common with cinematography and how can you travel back in time to learn about the history of public transport? And these are just some of the questions you will find answers to during the Transborder City Walks.

This Sunday we invite you to the most photogenic walk in the history of Szczecin! Something for Instagram and Facebook lovers. A route prepared for those who, instead of listening to a guide, prefer to have a camera and look for the best shots. A photo with the famous Szczecin sign, a picture with the ‘Crane-dinosaurs’ (Dźwigozaury), or with Wały Chrobrego in the background? Jarek Dulny, a professional photographer, will give us some hints. The walk will start at Łasztownia, by the Szczecin sign.
