Szczecin

Stupid me booked the flights before realising just how far the airport is from the city

Has anyone been before and if so what is the best way to get from the airport to the city?

25 miles. Gatwick to London distance without Govia trains to deal with. bus, train or taxi will do. Look it up on tripadvisor.

Was this city Stettin in Nazi days?

I was actually in Szczecin yesterday, my girlfriend and I own an apartment there and we are getting married nearby in a few weeks. You can take a taxi fairly quickly and easily from the airport to the town centre. Where exactly are you staying?

nowhere yet, it cost me £12.50 so I booked it on impulse, cheapish being a student I would have thought. How much is the taxi likely to cost?

Just checked and taxi will be around £30 so might want to go for the minibus option which only costs around £3. You can see the timetable and book tickets here (in English): https://www.interglobus.pl/Default.aspx?language=en You need to go from Goleniow Lotnisko (that's the airport) to Szczecin PKP (main train station).

Once in Szczecin the main street with all the bars and restaurants is called "Księcia Bogusława X" but is known locally as "Deptak" which I think means 'pedestrianised'. You'll probably want to stay somewhere close to there. There are a few other cool, hidden away craft pubs and bars but I'll need to check with a friend to find out exactly where they are as I can't remember. I'll post on here when I get the info. When are you heading over?

Generally it's a pretty safe city although it can look rough in areas. I lived there for around 3-4 months in 2012 while I was renovating our apartment and would regularly walk home drunk at night by myself and never had any hassle.

Why search endlessly on Google when you have NSC, an encyclopedia with a slight obsession with leftbacks
