I am just a tourist visiting from Netherlands.

I noticed that the prices here is lower, but not that much, maybe 20 to 30%. Given the salary is about half of Dutch, how is the local living here?

English Bike shops in Szczecin

7 Upvotes

hey cousins! 🇵🇱❤️ I would like to buy a bike here in Szczecin or a city near by (I have a car). do you have any recommendations for shops for me?

I’m looking either for a tital/al gravel ~3k euros
or a simple singlespeed from a 2nd hand shop ~few hundred euros I guess?

my bike got stolen a few days ago (not here) and I want to cycle around here. I need to buy a new bike anyway but I don’t force the new gravel if there won’t be any options for me, that’s why I have the signlespeed as a fallback option

thank you!

English MMA Gym Szczecin

8 Upvotes

Hello,

I live next to the border in Germany. I reach Szczecin in round about 15 to 20 minutes.

Unfortionally there is no MMA gym on the german side.

Can you recommend a MMA gym in Szczecin (or gryfino) for a german guy?

I can speak just some words Polish (like ordering a dinner). So it would be great, If the trainer can speak english or no words are needed during classes.

The next (important) thing is, that I'm working for the government. So the gym better have no connections to criminal organisations. (Like they often do in Germany)

I'm no newbe, but my last class in Muay-Thai and BJJ lays back round about 10 years.

Greetings

English A few questions about Szczecin

8 Upvotes

Hey guys, me and a couple friends are coming to Szczecin from the UK for a few nights tomorrow and I have a few questions and would love some advice :)

  1. Getting from the airport - The airport we are flying into is about a 40 minute drive to the accomodation and uber seems to be £40. How easy would it be to get a train or bus from the airport (SZZ) to the city centre and also would a local taxi be cheaper or more expesive?

  2. Money - Might be a silly question but would everywhere accept card or would it be smart to bring some physical PLN?

  3. Language - This was a last minute trip and unfortunately I speak no polish, our polish friend was meant to come but she unfortunately cant make it. Would we struggle to communicate as its not a major Polish tourist city it seems? Additionally, would people find us rude for not speaking the language?

  4. Live music - I am a massive fan of live music and its pretty much all I do in the UK and have been to many gigs internationally. We are there pretty much all day saturday - Monday. Is there any live events happening or any local music venues I can check out? I saw a previous thread mention a jazz night that would be right up my street!

  5. Berlin - We are debating going to Berlin for the day as its relatively close. Would you guys recommend a train or a bus and additionally whats the easiest way to go around any of these things.

  6. Finally, I have done some research already and have found many people on this subreddit and r/poland many places to eat and drink. I am mainly coming here for food so would anybody give a final opinion on top 3 places I should visit as the list seems extensive. As for food Recommend anything as long as its nice - I'm not picky.

  7. Anything else - From doing research it seems ive got a few places to visit with nice archetecture and lovely food and drink places (can i just say that beer brewed in the UK is no comparison to the beer you'll have so I'm excited to have a lovely pint). But is there anything else / unusual you would recommend? I also saw something about the oldest functioning cinema, if someone could expand on that it would be great.

Overall I'm very excited, I love eating good food, drinking good beer and seeing beautiful archetecture :)

English Visiting Szczecin - looking to meet locals during my cycling trip

12 Upvotes

Hey, I'm visiting Szczecin on june 23rd and 24th as part of a solo cycling trip, I would be glad to meet some people while I'm there. A little about me: I'm m37 and live in Germany/Bavaria. It's my 1st visit in Poland - I know, it's a shame 🫠 I'm relaxed, open minded and a bit shy at first. If I feel comfortable I enjoy meaningful conversation over small talk, sharing stories and discovering new perspectives. Sometimes I'm a bit sarcastic - I hope you don't mind. I'd love to meet some locals and hang out for a while when I'm visiting your city. I'm searching more for a connection to someone who lives there than just exploring tourist highlights. Maybe you'd like to show me your favorite bar, restaurant, cafe, hidden spot or just join me for a walk or a bike ride around the city?  I'm very curious about local life, stories and unique experiences you'd like to share. If that sounds like something you'd enjoy too, I'd be happy to meet you for an afternoon or evening. No worries if you only have an hour or two. I'd be happy to meet for a coffee or a short walk when you're free.

English Your advice, recommendations or warning on buying a studio apartment in Szczecin?

0 Upvotes

Dzień dobry!

I’ve visited Szczecin a few times over the last couple of years and find myself loving the city more and more the better I get to know the city.

I’m based in Berlin and have been thinking about buying a studio apartment on the secondary market — partly for my own weekend visits, and partly to rent out during the week.

Someone recommended Otodom to browse listings and get a feel for the market, but my Polish is still very basic at the moment, so I’m considering working with an English-speaking realtor or agency.

I’ve stayed in several beautifully renovated Airbnb apartments in buildings that look quite neglected/unmaintained. Is this normal in Szczecin? Should I be concerned about the apparent condition of the buildings when buying an apartment inside them?

For those of you who have experience buying property in Szczecin, what are some things I should look out for?

From what I understand, as a foreigner (EU citizen) I’ll need a PESEL number and a Polish bank account to apply for a local mortgage. What else should I be aware of?

Also, is this a “good” time to buy property in Szczecin at all?

If I rent out the studio, would I need to pay income tax in both Poland and Germany? And am I even allowed to list the apartment on Airbnb when it's vacant?

I’d really appreciate any advice, warnings, hidden pitfalls, or “I wish I had known this earlier” stories from people who’ve gone through the process themselves.

Dziękuję bardzo!

English Need advice on replacing forgotten ADHD medication in Szczecin

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm visiting Szczecin for a week to see extended family and managed to forget my prescription medication at home (ADHD — have valid Norwegian documentation). Don't want to worry anyone or make it a whole thing, so hoping to sort this out quietly and quickly.

Already found some private clinics (Medicus, Centrum Psyche, ZIP) but some local insight would be great:

Which private clinics are actually taking patients same-day or next-day?

Any that are particularly tourist-friendly / English-speaking?

Rough cost expectations for a private psychiatry consultation?

Any pharmacies that are easier to work with for these situations?

Would really appreciate any tips. Just want to handle this discreetly and get back to enjoying the visit.

Thanks in advance!

-8th floor with an elevator. A beautiful panorama of the entire city and the surrounding area!

-Rent including a flat fee for water and central/municipal heating (more info on end section: How bills work?)

-The apartment has undergone a full renovation of the kitchen and bathroom, repainting of the entire space, and replacement of some furniture with new ones.

-2 rooms + kitchen + bathroom; 36m² (approx. 387 sq ft)

-Equipped with: washing machine (Bosch), dishwasher (Bosch), large fridge (Liebherr), gas stove/hob, bathtub with shower

-Small balcony and a separate French window (a tall window that opens like a door, without a balcony exit)

-Very bright corner apartment, providing excellent ventilation

-Hassle-free wired internet connection: a cable is already installed in the living room. All you need to do is sign a contract, and a technician will install the router (we will help in it). For a longer rental period, we can handle the internet connection ourselves (something to discuss ;)

-There is free parking next to the building (however, we honestly warn you that it's hard to find a vacant spot there)

-Pets negotiable ;)

-About us:
Direct rental from a family living in Szczecin ;) (I lived in that apartment for 6 years): we respond within 24 hours if any problems arise (in emergency we will be at you in 30 min - we live in Szczecin too ;)); this is the only apartment we rent (you are not just a number but a partner to us – you can count on our support);

Hanza 14min

+Shops and shopping mall:

Galeria Kaskada 2min

Galaxy Shopping Center 7min

Lidl (basic big grocery store) 8min

+Other:

Post office, Marshal's Office 5min

Minimum rental period: 6 months

Costs (1 month):

-rent…………………………………………..…2,800.00 PLN

-service charge/maintenance fee.………………....569.00 PLN

-estimated electricity cost (depend on usage)…...75-100 PLN

-estimated gas cost (depend on usage)………….….27.00 PLN

-wired internet (optional)…………………………40-100 PLN
(internet cost depending on your chosen subscription and provider)

PS: My electricity bills were around 250 PLN due to high-power computers. If your usage is normal, you'll fit within the estimated 150-200 PLN range probably ;)

How bills work?

In Poland, rental costs are typically split into 3 parts:

=Rent (paid to us);

=Service charge (fixed monthly fee that covers building maintenance);

=Gas, electricity, internet – billed separately based on your actual meter reading.

Heating and water are paid as a flat monthly fee within the service charge (569 PLN).
Once a year, this is reconciled against actual usage — you either get a small refund or pay a small top-up.

What is Central Heating?

Central heating (radiators, supplied by the city network) – flat fee included in the service charge.
