 Location
Szczecin is located south of the Szczecin lagoon, which is part of the Oder river estuary, draining into the Pomeranian Bay of the Baltic Sea. Szczecin is the capital of Western Pomerania and located in the vicinity of three European countries: Germany, Denmark and Sweden. The historical and cultural milieu of the city originates from more than thousand years and has been shared by several nationalities. Large parts of the city architecture go back to the last half of the 19th century, bearing a striking resemblance to Paris, which was re-constructed by the same architect. The urban built-up areas contain green enclaves as well as parks featuring rare tree and bush species. The squares in Szczecin are planted with many varieties of magnolia that bloom in spring. The city of Szczecin and Western Pomeranian Province are one of the most attractive tourist regions in Poland.
