Oktoberfest Szczecin 2026 - a beer-filled weekend in the city centre

This Saturday, 26 September, the Castle Terraces will turn into a medieval stronghold, bringing to life the history of the symbol of Pomerania and the Griffin dynasty.

The programme will feature combat demonstrations by warriors and knights, an executioner’s station and the “Trial on the Battlefield” presentation, an armoury and historical kitchen, medieval games and traditional folk entertainment, as well as a blacksmith, herbalist and coin minter.

Shorter days and less sunshine don’t have to mean staying indoors. Autumn is one of the most beautiful seasons of the year, with its colours inviting us to venture beyond the city centre and explore places we often leave for another time during the summer.

On Tuesday, 22 September, it is worth leaving your car at home. To mark European Car-Free Day, Szczecin has prepared several options for those who choose to travel by tram, bus, train or bicycle. It is also a great opportunity for tourists to explore the city without having to worry about public transport tickets or finding a parking space.

Nearly 1,800 tickets sold, 18 cruises and boats sailing close to capacity – the first Cross Oder season has shown that connecting Szczecin with the German towns of Mescherin and Gartz can be an attractive way to discover the Polish-German border region. The journey also offers passengers a chance to experience one of the area's most interesting natural landscapes: the Lower Oder Valley.

One of the most remarkable natural areas near Szczecin has a chance to receive nationwide recognition. Lower Oder Valley Landscape Park has been nominated in National Geographic Traveler’s Wonders of Poland 2026 competition. The winners will be chosen by an online vote, which remains open until 13 October.

Planning to visit the Maritime Science Centre or Fabryka Wody in Szczecin this September? It is worth checking the temporary changes before setting out. Both popular attractions have scheduled technical breaks in September 2026, although the dates and the extent of the restrictions are different.
