Szczecin: Baltic Sea Tour

The coast of the Baltic Sea is the northern border of Poland and stretches for approximately 500 km. Although the sea is not very warm, Baltic sandy beaches are one of the most beautiful in Europe with charming cliffs and large dunes covered with tempting green pine forests. This is the reason why thousands of people set off to the Polish seaside for every long weekend and during summer holidays. Let us take you to the most attractive places on the western part of the coast such as Swinoujscie – important seaport, picturesque Wolin National Park with Turquoise Lake and unique European bison show farm, Miedzyzdroje – fancy sea resort and open-air Museum of the Slavs and Vikings in Wolin town.
