Plac Lotników
This year's 12th edition of International Tour Guide Day will take place on Saturday, 1st March.
Once again, Żegluga Szczecińska Turystyka Wydarzenia, in cooperation with the West Pomeranian Association of Tour Guides and Tour Leaders, will organise several dozen themed tours led by our qualified city guides.
As part of the 12th International Tour Guide Day in Szczecin, most city tours will depart from Lotników Square at 11:00 and conclude with an organ concert at St. James Archcathedral Basilica at 14:30.
An exception will be a few groups with visits to sites located further from the city centre, so please pay attention to the start time of your chosen walk.
A list of all unlimited (unnumbered) tours, as well as those with a limited number of places (numbered 1-12), is available at tourszczecin.eu (select the date 1st March).
