Szczecin Old Town & Cathedral: Private Walking Immersion

Discover Szczecin's layered Old Town — its Gothic cathedral, Baroque townhouses, and the haunting outline of the rebuilt Old Town Hall — with a private, English-speaking local expert who tailors every step to your curiosity.

What to expect

You begin at the iconic Pomeranian Dukes' Castle gateway and wind through medieval lanes to the soaring Gothic Cathedral of St. James the Apostle, one of the largest brick churches in Northern Europe. Your guide shares the Cathedral's moving post-war restoration story and points out original medieval vaulting. You then drift through the reconstructed Old Town to the ornate Old Town Hall, finishing on the panoramic Wały Chrobrego embankment terrace overlooking the Oder River.
