Book a 2-hour private walking tour of Szczecin’s City Center and Old Town highlights. This Best Of route is ideal for first-time visitors who want to understand the city beyond monuments and dates.

Admire the Sacred Heart of Jesus Church from outside and learn how its architecture reflects the city’s modern ambitions. Step inside the Church of St Wojciech, a free-entry sacred site connected with Szczecin’s military and postwar history. Continue to the Archcathedral Basilica of St James the Apostle to view its soaring Gothic form from outside and understand why it dominates the skyline.

Stroll through the Old Town at a comfortable pace, stopping for photos and local stories. See the House of Loitzs from outside, an elegant merchant house linked to trade, wealth and Pomeranian influence. Walk through the Rynek area and admire the exterior of the Pomeranian Dukes’ Castle, connected to the Griffin dynasty and Szczecin’s ducal past. End near the National Museum in Szczecin — The Dialogue Centre Upheavals, where your guide will explain the city’s modern struggles, protests and resilience. This private walk adapts to your interests, making it suitable for solo travelers, couples, friends and families.
