New Year's Eve with Rossini

The Gothic Gallery of the Pomeranian Dukes’ Castle in Szczecin hosts a unique exhibition celebrating the 160th anniversary of painter Eugen Dekkert’s birth. Recognized as the most important landscape artist of Szczecin and Pomerania, Dekkert is featured through more than 70 works—ranging from Scottish views and rural scenes to port landscapes and mountain vistas.

Lentz Villa is one of the most impressive and intriguing residences in Szczecin. Built between 1888 and 1889 for industrialist August Lentz, it dazzles with elegance and architectural flair, blending elements of Renaissance, Mannerism, and Baroque – a style known as the French costume. Located in the prestigious Westend district (now Łękno), it was a symbol of prestige and wealth from the start. Unfortunately, the founder did not enjoy it for long – he passed away five years after construction was completed.

Looking for an active day trip? You can actually cycle from Szczecin all the way to the Baltic Sea! The route along Lake Dąbie, through Lubczyna and onward to coastal towns, is a perfect plan for a one-day or weekend adventure. Along the way, you'll enjoy stunning views and excellent cycling infrastructure.
