Szczecin is located on the lower Odra River at the estuary of the Szczecin Lagoon and Lake Damm. In Polish, the capital of the West Pomeranian Voivodeship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Szczecin was once a Hanseatic city, the residence of the Dukes of Pomerania and a fortress city of the Swedes and Prussians. During the Second World War, a large part of the city was destroyed and only later was it possible to rebuild much of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today, Szczecin is the seventh largest city in Poland and has the second most important port in the country. Goods are transported from here across the Odra to the Katowice area. But there is also a connection to the Baltic Sea, which makes the port an important transhipment centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The city is a fairly young, lively city with industry, trade and universities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the most beautiful and largest parks in Szczecin, Kasprowicz Park, is located just outside the Old Town area.
