ATTRACTIONS IN THE AREA

CULTURE

During longer stays at Manowce or when the weather does not allow for sunbathing, some guests look for cultural attractions. In July and August, a lot is happening in Szczecin, despite some venues also having a holiday break. To check what’s going on in Szczecin’s cultural scene, visitors can use ticket-selling services such as Bilety24 or eBilet. However, it is best to check the repertoire on the websites of theatres or cinemas.

MUSIC

Mieczysław Karłowicz Philharmonic in Szczecin. Throughout July and almost all of August, the Szczecin Philharmonic does not hold concerts. However, visitors can take a tour of the building, as described above.

Opera at the Castle Szczecin. Unfortunately, the local opera also takes a break in July and August. Therefore, during this period, Szczecin focuses on pop and entertainment music concerts.
Summer Theatre Szczecin. For guests who want to attend a concert, Szczecin offers this picturesque venue with an amphitheatre. In summer, Szczecin attracts well-known stars, so it is worth checking the event schedule at the Summer Theatre. The programme mainly features entertainment music and comedy shows.

THEATRE

For those who love theatre, Szczecin has two great venues:

Teatr Polski. Many famous Polish actors have performed at the Polish Theatre, including Andrzej Kopiczyński, Krzysztof Chamiec, Ryszard Pietruski, and Edward Żentara. The Polish Theatre has five stages, including the Shakespeare Stage, which refers to the London’s Globe Theatre of Shakespeare.

Teatr Współczesny. For many years, the artistic director of this theatre was Maciej Englert. Many renowned Polish actors and actresses have performed here, including Danuta Stenka, Maria Seweryn, Katarzyna Bujakiewicz, and Krzysztof Czeczot.

CINEMA

If someone feels like going to the movies, it is worth checking the repertoire at Helios and Multikino cinemas, as well as at Pionier Cinema, the oldest operating cinema in the world, open since 1909.

EXHIBITIONS

Art enthusiasts can visit private contemporary art galleries in Szczecin or institutions that organize temporary exhibitions of painting and other arts. It is worth checking what is currently on display at places such as Trafostacja Sztuki, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Lentz Villa, or the Pomeranian Library.

MUSEUMS

While sightseeing in Szczecin, as described above, visitors can also visit a museum. Szczecin has several of them, but we particularly recommend those dedicated to maritime and technical history.

The National Museum in Szczecin has several branches, with the main one housed in a majestic building on Wały Chrobrego. It contains, among other things, collections of historical art related to Pomerania. It is also worth visiting the Dialogue Centre Przełomy, located in an underground building next to the Philharmonic. This modern museum presents key turning points in the history of Western Pomerania in an innovative way.

The Maritime Museum, known as the Maritime Science Centre, is one of Szczecin’s attractions included in our suggested city sightseeing routes.

The Museum of Technology and Transport houses an extraordinary collection of cars, motorcycles, and other vehicles manufactured in Szczecin since 1858, as well as vehicles produced elsewhere in Poland from the early days of Polish motorization.
