Bazylika Archikatedralna pw. sw. Jakuba Apostola

Reviewed By Rovingpublover - Great Malvern, United Kingdom

A stunning building, rebuilt post-war after the then German city of Stettin was heavily bombed in 1944. The interior is incredibly lofty and so large that an ordinary camera simply can't catch its immensity. Access is available for a requested charge of 2 Euros or 8 Zloty (Sep 2019), a bargain for the experience. Access to the tower is also available for a supplementary fee. Whether you have religious leanings or not, understand the Polish language or not, listening to a sung Eucharist is an extraordinary experience.

Waly Chrobrego Promenade (Hakenterrasse)

Waly Chrobrego (German name: Hakenterrasse) - promenade with great views on Oder river and port, a favourite among the locals and tourists. Many cafes are situated here. See the Maritime museum (Muzeum Morskie), situated just in the center of Waly which houses some artifacts from history of the city and also has big collections of African and maritime artifacts.

Filharmonia im. Mieczyslawa Karlowicza w Szczecinie

The new seat of the Szczecin Philharmonic was erected at the junction of two streets, Małopolska and Matejki, at the plot where 130 years ago the Concert House (Konzerthaus) commenced its activity. Since 1884 it served as city’s musical center. The building was severely damaged during warfare, and in 1962 it was finally pulled down. The new facility, in line with the intention of its authors, is based on respecting the surroundings and history of the location, co-creating a friendly urban space and at the same time intriguing everyone with bold solutions and original shape of building’s body. According to the intention of the designers, the building reflects the musical order and construction of the instrument whose physical structure becomes filled with life and sounds. For the first time the building of the Philharmonic in Szczecin filled with music in September 2014. This is the beginning of a new chapter in the history of Szczecin’s music experience.

The castle is central and a nice place to get a feel for the old city. The castle is still being renovated but a lot has been finished now and the castle looks great with a lot of nice details. The inner courtyard is very atmospheric and there are often performances held there.
