Stettin is located on the Oder River, south of the Lagoon of Szczecin and the Bay of Pomerania.

The postcard shows The Chrobry Embankment, one of the trademark's city, the most representative part of Szczecin. It comprises terraces, beautifully surrounded by trees, going down to the Odra River. A walk along the Embankment is one of city’s main attractions. Here you can have a rest on a bench or in one of the restaurants. Or you can take the stairs down to walk along the river.
The Chrobry Embankment is a popular meeting point for the residents of Szczecin, especially in summer. During season various events are organised here, such as concerts of the celebration of the Sea Days.

THE NIGHT IN SZCZECIN (By Lena Mo)
Szczecin is a big city with many interesting places you can visit. There are many students so the most popular places are pubs (London Pub, Brama Jazz Cafe, Porto Grande Pub...) or night clubs (City Hall, Rocker's Club, Baila Club...). You can drink there vodka (Finlandia, Sobieski), beer (Lech, Zywiec) or drinks. People are friendly & talkative - especially after drinking :) When you're tired with drinking and dancing you can go for a walk to Park Kasprowicza (the biggest park in Szczecin), to the Old Town or along the Odra river. But I don't recommend going for a walk in winter's nights, it can be very very cold.
Some phrases:
- Czesc - hi
- Bardzo podoba mi sie to miejsce - I like this place very much
- Wiecej piwa/wodki! - More beer/vodka!
- Jestem pijany - I'm drunk
- Lubie placki - I like pancakes :P
- Zdrowie! - cheers!
- Chodzmy poplywac w Odrze - Let's swim in the Oder river
- Kocham Was wszystkich - I love you all
Hope you'll find it usefull :)
Cheers!
Lena
