Łona & Webber

Adam Zieliński, hip-hop artist and Andrzej Mikosz, music producer. Both are based in Szczecin In order to get acquainted with Szczecin one should head in the opposite direction from what common sense would suggest and upon leaving the train station follow the road leading away from the city centre. The most picturesque part of the city is located on the far side. The Venice of Szczecin – as this is the area in question - is a riverside industrial estate. Some of its buildings were constructed in the interwar period. The area is easily reached (locals will gladly provide the necessary directions) from Kolumba Street lined with characteristic, beautiful post-industrial edifices.

Wojska Polskiego 46, mon – fri: 10  am –7 pm, sat: 10 am – 4 pm Visitors to Szczecin absolutely must take a bite of pasztecik.
