Introducing Szczecin
When you first encounter the western port city Szczecin (shcheh-cheen), the impression is of an unaesthetic muddle of architecture inherited from wildly different ages. But on a sunny day you can’t help noticing the rough-edged beauty of the crumbling German-era apartment buildings and mansions, and the city’s unkempt but spacious parks, and reflect on its past splendour and future potential. Though a busy working port, there’s plenty of scope for play, with enough entertainment and sights to warrant a stopover.
