Have you ever seen an iceberg in the city center? If not, you must see the new premises of Szczecin Philharmonic which majestically emerges from urban buildings and pervasive greenery. Its metal and glass facade supplemented with light illuminations catch the eye of each person who comes nearby. The building was designed by catalonian architects from Barozzi Veiga from Barcelona and immediately has become the icon of our city. Modern design combined with inspiration taken from historic building of Konzerthaus creates a coherent whole of past, present and future of Szczecin. It has received numerous awards, including the Mies van der Rohe Award in 2015, the Award of the President of the Republic of Poland for the Best Architectural Structure in Poland in the years 2013-2014 in the “LIFE IN ARCHITECTURE” contest, and the award of the “bryla. pl” website dealing with architecture.

It's one of branches of the National Museum in Szczecin, where we present the newest history of Szczecin and West Pomerania region, with particular attention given to social protests and breaking events in the years 1970–1971, 1980–1981, 1988–1989, that lead Poland to regain independence in 1989. The building that houses our museum is partially hidden under the Solidarity Plaza, adjacent to the Concert Hall. The exhibition is interactive, apart from subject-related pieces, in its underground rooms you may see films, pictures and recordings of the events’ witnesses and participants. Location of the museum has not been chosen by an accident - it was here when on 17 December 1970 first shots were fired at the protesters. In July 2016, the Dialogue Centre Upheavals was ranked the Best Public Space in Europe. Four months later, on November 18, the same building was named World Building of the Year.

Anyone entering Szczecin by bridges over the Oder River can see the towering red-brick gothic Cathedral and an elegant, pale silhouette of a Renaissance castle with green towers, which used to be the seat of the dukes of the Griffins dynasty who ruled the Duchy of Pomerania. The Pomeranian Dukes’ Castle has five wings and two courtyards. Acting as a cultural institution it organizes an array of cultural events: concerts, theatre performances, exhibitions, conferences and meetings to popularize science, as well as to spread knowledge about the history of West Pomerania. The largest wing houses an Opera. In the wing that housed a mint in the olden days one can find today Cultural and Tourist Information Centre. There is a panoramic terrace on the rooftop of the northern wing from where splendid views can be appreciated. The wing’s basement houses a Vault with sarcophaguses of six princes. The Duke Boguslaw X hall, which used to be a princely chapel, is now a concert hall with a polychromatic ceiling decorated in Renaissance style. A 17th century astronomical clock is the Castle’s special tourist attraction. Also a room dedicated to Eilhard Lubinus and the Witches’ Cell are definitely worth a visit.

In 1873 city's authorities decided to demolish all of the Szczecin's fortifications. Due to the contribution of the overmayor of Szczecin, Hermann Haken, a new construction was formed on the site of former Leopold Fort. It is a complex of the three buildings: from the South – Marine University, the building of the National Museum together with the Modern Theater and the Provincial Office. In front of the Museum you can find a statue of Hercules fighting with centaur and wide stairs from the leading to the Oder River, where cruise ships await. At the foot of Chrobry Embankment there is a fountain ornamented with figures of Jan z Kolna and Wyszak and two high columns in the style of sea lanterns.

Cinema Commercial films are evaded. Yet, it is a cinema on a high-level. Or even two levels. Films can be watched in a soft armchair in cozy, historical room or at the table in “Kiniarnia” which is 2 floors below It a retrostyle room with a jabbering projector and a piano from 1898. You cannot buy popcorn at a bar but a glass of good wine. Seems like atmosphere in an old cinema? It is even better as it is the oldest cinema in the world which has been operating in the same place continuously since 1907. Before you enter the cinema please look at the glasscase, there is a certificate from The World Guinness Book.
The movies are shown in their original languages (with Polish subtitles), which is beneficial for all tourists visiting the city.

Boulevards are always a good choice to go to. Pedestrian zones on both sides of the river Oder are places of loads of small events such as "Bulwarove" or food truck festivals. Many people approach there to relax, chill and to admire the astonishing view of the Szczecin's waterfront. An unusuall experience that you might take a part in on the boulevards is a sort of aroma therapy, with a lovely smell of chocolate straight from the chocolate factory located nearby.
Obviously, it's also a good place to berth your boat there or go to one of plenty caffees and restaurants, that are always opened until nightfall. When it is hot, then you also should know, that there is an island between two banks of Oder, where a beach is located.

Łasztownia (ger. Lastadie) is located in the very heart of Szczecin, vis-a-vis the Chrobry Embankment. It is a river island whose history stratches back to the Middle Ages. After the Allied air raids of 1942 - 1944, most of the buildings on Łasztownia were destroyed. Currently, Łasztownia is one of the most interesting (and most mysterious) places in Szczecin. One particularly interesting spot is the part of the Old Town Wharf situated right next to the historic cranes, affectionately dubbed the "cronosaurs". Following recent renovation works, they have regained their former splendour. Symbols of the port of Szczecin, these historical cranes from 1929 are their most beautiful during the cyclic events organised on the Oder river.

The "BOMBAY" restaurant is one of few in Poland that uses a specially imported, charcoal-fired, earthen "TANDOOR" oven. This ancient universal device serves in Indian cuisine as both a grill and an oven. It is used to cook meat dishes and bread. Indian dishes are perfect to eat in company as a traditional meal consists of many dishes. A typical family menu in India includes: meat, poultry, fish, stewed vegetables, lentil, a lot of rice and a few home-made "breads". The restaurant has been recognised by Robert Makłowicz and Piotr Bikont as "a highly recommended establishment". This recognition was awarded only to the 20 best restaurants in Poland. The only restaurant in Szczecin recognised by the Pascal Guide as "a place with a unique atmosphere." Thank you very much for having honoured us with your presence. I really do hope that we will have the opportunity to serve you again in the future.
