Cities & towns
The Piast Boulevard is a riverside promenade in central Szczecin, also known as the Sailors’ Alley. It offers views of the Oder, Łasztownia and the waterfront. Maritime sculptures and monuments make it an outdoor introduction to the city’s port character.
The most interesting section features sculptures of captains, the sailor Umbriago’s cat and navigation instruments such as an astrolabe, chronometer, compass and sextant. The retaining wall carries the Maritime Chronicle of Szczecin — 42 compositions unveiled in 1968 and dedicated to people of the sea.
From the boulevard you can see the Oder, the quays and river traffic, while Łasztownia and the Maritime Science Centre lie across the water. Extend the walk towards the Chrobry Embankments, the Dukes of Pomerania Castle, Sienny Market Square and the Cranosauruses. In summer, cruises and seasonal food outlets operate nearby, but their timetable and offer depend on individual operators.
The boulevard is a free outdoor public space with no fixed sightseeing hours. Access to individual sections may change during events, works or high water. Leave your car in a designated Szczecin car park and check current traffic arrangements before travelling. Allow about an hour for a relaxed walk with the installations.
