Discover Stargard Szczeciński

Explore Stargard on a walking route

The “Stargard – Klejnot Pomorza” walking route can be started at any point and passes the city’s main historical attractions. This gives you flexibility: you don’t have to plan around a single prescribed starting point. If you want to explore several historical sites as part of a connected experience, you can use the route as a thread to guide your exploration of the city instead of planning your visits solely as separate destinations. The circular route gives your exploration a clear structure while leaving the starting point open.

Before setting out, consider how you want to fit the walking route into your stay. Should it be the focus of a day, or would you like to use it as a guide to exploring the city? Check the route and its details locally before setting off. This lets you compare your own plans with the route described and choose your starting point flexibly.

The church and city fortifications as historical highlights

Another way to explore the city’s history is through the Collegiate Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the city fortification complex in Stargard. In 2010, both were included by the President of the Republic of Poland on Poland’s list of historical monuments. This shared distinction brings together two different types of historic structure: a church building and a city fortification complex. If you want to give your stay a cultural focus, these landmarks offer a concrete starting point for exploring Stargard’s history.

The route and the distinction answer different questions: the walking route describes one way to pass the city’s main historical attractions, while inclusion on the list recognises the historical significance of the church and the city fortification complex. This distinction can help you choose your focus—either a connected exploration or the historical importance of individual buildings. You can include both perspectives in your travel plans without combining them into a single activity.

Plan your trip around Museum Night

Museum Night also offers a specific date around which to plan a visit to Stargard. It has been held there since 2011; since 2014, it has taken place in the main building at Rynek Staromiejski and in the Bastion. The programme varies from year to year. If Museum Night is the reason for your trip, check the date and programme for that year’s event in advance. This lets you plan your stay around the specific event rather than assume that it will take place on a date unrelated to that year’s programme.

When looking for a hotel in Stargard, you can first decide what you want your stay to centre on: a flexible exploration along the walking route, learning about the distinguished buildings, or attending Museum Night. If a specific event date is central to your trip, it’s worth checking the date before booking accommodation. If, on the other hand, you want to focus on exploring the historic city, the walking route offers a freely chosen starting point and a connected way to find your bearings among the attractions.
