Świnoujście is a unique Polish city located in the extreme northwest, primarily situated on the islands of Usedom, Wolin, and Karsibór. It serves as a vital seaport on the Baltic Sea and the Szczecin Lagoon, bordering the German resort town of Ahlbeck. Connected by a 12km beach promenade, it offers a distinct cross-border coastal experience. The opening of the Świnoujście Tunnel in 2023 has significantly improved connectivity between the islands. As a key part of the Szczecin metropolitan area and home to a major LNG terminal, the city blends industrial importance with serene seaside charm. Its vast area and low population density provide spacious, tranquil accommodations away from crowded tourist hubs, making it an ideal base for travelers seeking quiet Baltic coast relaxation and easy access to both Polish and German seaside attractions.

The name is an easy clue that this restaurant inside the Radisson Blu hotel is all about seafood. Although there are meat dishes, fish and shellfish lead the way on a menu where you could opt for a light, wallet-friendly meal or splash out and celebrate. Oysters are available to start, of course, but the Baltic herring is a great alternative and main dishes like halibut with spaghetti show subtle creativity while still highlighting the natural flavours of the ingredients.

WebsiteNamed after the Polish national dance, this intimate restaurant is set within the Hilton Swinoujscie Resort & Spa. As you settle into the bright and colourful dining room, look out for the wines in illuminated cabinets and the meat and fish in ageing fridges. The menu mixes Polish aspects with a classical French base, in dishes such as lamb saddle with dauphinoise potato and mint pesto. The wine list features plenty of German options, with a few Polish ones too.
WebsiteRight next to Ahlbeck's main church, this cosy restaurant has a charming and down-to-earth atmosphere. The proprietress manages the service with warmth, ease and expertise, while her husband takes care of the cooking. The cuisine is predominantly regional. Both of the three- to five-course menus (one of them vegetarian) and the à la carte options are popular – the decision won't be easy. If you wish to stay on, two holiday apartments are available.
