About This Tour

Visit Szczecin, one of Poland's largest port cities, known for its bourgeois 19th- and 20th-century tenement homes and a nearby crooked forest — a natural phenomenon that has never been fully explained. A private cross-border day trip to Szczecin, Poland, exploring its historic tenement district — often called the 'Paris of the North' — and a real, unexplained crooked forest just outside the city, with Polish food along the way.

Szczecin, a major port city in northwestern Poland near the German border, built much of its visible character during a period of rapid growth in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when its boulevards filled with ornate, bourgeois tenement buildings — a style distinctive enough that the city is sometimes nicknamed the 'Paris of the North.'

Your private guide walks you through this historic tenement district, pointing out architectural details and explaining how the city's layered German and Polish history — it was a German city, Stettin, until the border shifted after World War II — shaped the buildings you're looking at.

Just outside the city, the day's other highlight is the real Crooked Forest, a grove of roughly 400 pine trees planted in the 1920s and 30s, each bending sharply near its base before growing straight upward. Despite decades of study, including tree-ring analysis, no single explanation has been definitively proven — the leading theory involves early mechanical damage to the young trees, though it's never been conclusively confirmed.

Polish food along the way rounds out the day, giving you a genuine taste of the region alongside its architecture and unsolved natural curiosity.
