In my opinion, studying in Szczecin is a great idea. but it is also a great city for holiday. We can stay there for example in 100 years old Dana Hotel, which is very comfortable and has a good service.
Besides, there are many places, worth to see like Wały Chrobrego Promenade or Pomeranian Dukes' Castle:)
Yes I agree with Regina :) I stayed in Hotel Dana when I visited my friends in Szczecin and I am so happy I could to stayed there. Very comfortable and tidy rooms and do tasty cusine. Hotel is in the city center. Szczecin is great place to visit for sure!
