Awesome tour.

Nice tour!

Great great great!

Great photos. It may be poor, but so rich in culture and great people. And I'm sure many of those buildings will be rehabilitated to then resemble the many historic buildings found in Krakow and Wroclaw.

Thanks for the pics!

Poor? I don´t think so. What I see is a nice city, with very pretty buildings. I like it.

Congrats and greetings from Madrid, Spain!

Instead, you might compare them to the many historic buildings found in Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, etc, as this was a German city for centuries until 1945. If it resembles Polish architecture, it might be closest to other former German cities now in Poland like Wroclaw.

Wonderful thread. It's great to see pictures of that part of the world.

That's very true. Frankly, my comparison primarily entailed my own first hand account of its similarity to other Polish cities as I have only visited Poland at this point and hopefully Germany in the future.

Really good photos of an interesting looking place.

[espalorius]

these are the first pics of Szczecin I've seen, interesting place but I was expecting some more dupy - polish women are breathtaking

[MayDay]

Very nice, thanks for posting!

[Kingofthehill]

Yeah, straight up German architecture right there. It is interesting how architecturally and aesthetically European Poland is, only for Western Europeans to diss it as not being "culturally European."

[Robert Pence]

Excellent photos, fascinating place. It presents an appealing contrast compared with the popular tourist cities.

[Bedhead]

Great contrasts all the way through - looks like a city with a lot of soul.

[Private Dick]

Poor but sexy... sounds like a Polish chick from Jersey I once knew..

The cat on the dumpster... got one just like it.

Interesting place. Thanks for trip to Szczecin. That name is just crazy Pomeranian... szcz, what?!

[the pope]

[Thundertubs]
