Szczecin or Stettin?
by georeiser
You need a functional speech disorder to pronounce the city name Szczecin. The funny polish name should have been renamed to Stettin for a long time ago. Anyway, foreigners call it by the english name "Stettin". Use it if you like to.
Bosman beer
by ZiOOlek
When in Szczecin you may see that most people drink only Bosman. It is really popular beer here, served in almost every restaurant. I think it is great to explore and try regional beers and Bosman is tasty and I would recommend it.:)
The Bosman Browar Szczecin has made 960,000 hl of beer, over 200,000 hl of beer more than the year before. Crossing the 1 million per year barrier is only a question of the near future. The leading product of the brewery is Bosman Full, called the "red Bosman" by consumers. Poles recognise this beer thanks to a specific advertising campaign which in a way contested the ban on advertising alcohol, in force several years ago. The words "alcohol-free" were said with a wink of the eye - this created many jokes repeated not only in pubs. The Szczecin-based brewery calls on more than 150 years of tradition.
What you can find on the street
by ZiOOlek
This kind of advertising is probably one of the best in attracting people's attention when walking on the streets. You may find good examples of the averts on streets of Szczecin and the one is really unique.:)
Wrap up warm.

I know it might sound almost superfluous to say this, but if you are visiting in winter, bring gear like that in the photo. When I was a kid growing up in Northern Ireland, we used to have an expression for really cold weather. We'd say "It's really Baltic out there." Well. you are right on the Baltic, at a fairly high latitude in Europe, and it can be bitterly cold. fleeces and thermals are the order of the day. A modern European city, all the usual toiletries etc. are freely available.
Kayaking around picturesque neighbourhood
by J4r0
Dziewoklicz is a magical place. Sometimes it's hard to say where's the water and where's the land there. It's all thanks to the Mother Nature, who divided river Odra into so many arms. Spending a whole day there, kayaking around and watching the places that have been untouched by the human would be a great experience. I believe you won't find another city in Poland where you'd be able to make such an excursion without crossing its limits
