Szczecin

Szczecin straddles the Oder River in Poland’s West Pomeranian Voivodeship, and its navigable route towards the Baltic has made it one of the country’s principal seaports. The city extends across river islands and low-lying banks south of the Szczecin Lagoon, close to the German border. The monumental Chrobry Embankment forms a prominent waterfront promenade above the harbour. Nearby, the Pomeranian Dukes’ Castle recalls Szczecin’s role as a seat of the dukes of Pomerania and now hosts cultural institutions. Its white, angular Philharmonic building received the European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture in 2015.
