Szczecin Travel Guide
Poland
Szczecin is a city of 407,811 people in north-west Poland, close to the German border and centred on the Oder River. It is an important regional centre and port city, with a different feel from Poland’s inland historic cities.
Most visitors arriving by air use Solidarity Szczecin-Goleniow Airport, the city’s listed airport. Szczecin does not have any notable named beaches within 40 kilometres, so it is better treated as a riverside city than a beach base.

Tipping: Tipping is appreciated in Poland for good service, but it is not always mandatory. While a service charge is sometimes included in restaurant bills, it's common to leave an additional tip for excellent service. Rounding up the bill is also a frequent practice.
