Layover in Szczecin (SZZ)
Solidarity Szczecin–Goleniów Airport (SZZ). Here's how much of a layover you can really use, and what fits in it.
About Szczecin
Szczecin, is a maritime port city and the capital of Zachodniopomorskie in Poland. Many visitors to Poland are also unaware of Szczecin's architectural attractiveness, as the large parts of the city were designed by Baron Haussmann, the same man who designed the boulevards of Paris. Szczecin is Poland's third-largest port and much of its industrial base used to be a part of an important shipyard. But the city is not on a seaside, but rather on the river Odra, some 20 kilometres south of the Baltic Sea.
