Szczecin & Wolin Coast
A short West Coast route from the port city of the Oder River to the cliffs of Wolin and the beaches of Świnoujście.
A short coastal route on the western edge of Poland. Spend the first day exploring Szczecin's castle and terraces, then transfer to Międzyzdroje for a two-night stay to hike the sea cliffs, spot European bison, and visit the Turquoise Lake. Finish your trip in the border beach town. Close to Berlin, it is perfect for a short getaway in Central Europe. Points of interest within the national park are scattered, so you will need to rent a car, ride a bike, or take a taxi on Day 3. Not recommended in winter as the seaside is very quiet and cold.
July and August are peak seasons for the coast; accommodation is tight and needs to be booked well in advance.
