Aparthotels & serviced apartments in Szczecin

7 stays · 7 aparthotels and 0 serviced apartments

Aparthotels and serviced apartments suit Szczecin well, because the city works as a base for several kinds of trip: a few days of architecture and river views, a work assignment at the port or the universities, or a stopover on the way to the Baltic coast. A kitchen and a separate living area help on longer stays, and families or small teams get more room than a standard hotel room offers. If you are weighing the formats, see aparthotel vs hotel.

Where to stay in Szczecin

Old Town and Ducal Castle

  • first-time visitors
  • sightseeing
  • nightlife

The Old Town on the left bank is where the Pomeranian Dukes' Castle stands, along with the History Museum in the Old Town Hall, both listed by Wikipedia. Wikivoyage says most pubs and bars are found around the Old Market (Stary Rynek) and along Bogusława street. Wikipedia notes that most medieval buildings in the city centre were destroyed in the Second World War, and Wikivoyage says the Old Town's reconstruction is still ongoing.

Getting around Szczecin

The airport is Solidarity Szczecin–Goleniów Airport, which Wikipedia places north-east of the city centre. Its operator says the railway terminal is next to the airport, that trains run to and from Szczecin and Kołobrzeg, and that a trip from Szczecin takes about 40 minutes. Wikivoyage also notes that the airline LOT runs a free minibus for its passengers on its flights. Berlin's airport is described by Wikivoyage as a viable alternative, reached by minibus, car or train.

Visit Szczecin says the easiest way to get around is by tram and bus: 12 tram lines, plus a seasonal tourist tram in summer, over 60 daytime bus routes and 16 night routes. Tickets are time-based and allow unlimited transfers within their validity, and can be bought from machines on board, at ticket offices and kiosks, or through several mobile apps. ZDiTM, the network operator, publishes timetables and maps in English. The Szczecin Tourist Card comes in 24-hour and 72-hour versions and includes unlimited travel on public transport lines, per the tourist board. Wikivoyage adds that the city has a bicycle path network and a public city-bike system, and that the centre is walkable.

The Oder and Regalica rivers split the city into a left bank (Lewobrzeże) and a right bank (Prawobrzeże), with the port between them. Wikivoyage says the centre and most attractions are on the left bank.

Living in Szczecin for longer

For a longer stay, the practical question is which side of the river you want to live on. The left bank has the centre, the Old Town, the station and the Plac Grunwaldzki district, so errands are usually on foot or a short tram ride. Wikivoyage lists a number of shopping malls in the city, and says some malls have free buses on lines numbered in the 700s.

Public transport is billed by time rather than by journey, and Wikivoyage mentions periodical tickets running from days to a quarter; check the ZDiTM site for the current options. Wikivoyage says English teachers and IT developers or engineers are in high demand, which gives a sense of the working population. The city is also a base for the coast and the lower Oder valley: Wikivoyage lists Kołobrzeg, Międzyzdroje and Świnoujście among places to visit next. See Świnoujście and Międzyzdroje for stays by the sea, or serviced apartments for relocation if you are moving for work.

When to visit Szczecin

Wikipedia classifies Szczecin as having an oceanic climate, with winters colder than on the immediate coast and summers warm but moderated by the Baltic. It names July as the warmest month and January as the coldest, and gives an average annual rainfall of 537 mm. Visit Szczecin describes the air as moist and the climate as mild, with summers increasingly hot.

Summer suits boat trips on the Oder, kayaking and walks along the embankment, and the seasonal tourist tram runs then. The tourist board says winters are a little warmer than in the rest of the country.

Wikivoyage describes Szczecin as a maritime port city and the capital of the West Pomeranian region, on the Oder (Odra) river rather than on the sea itself. It adds that large parts of the city were laid out in the 1880s on plans associated with Baron Haussmann, which explains the wide avenues and roundabouts. For other places in the country, see Poland or Poznań.
