Practical information
How to get here, how the tunnel and ferry work, where to park, how to get around without a car and what to know when coming from Germany.
Świnoujście lies on islands, so the logistics are a little different from other resorts: there is a tunnel and there are ferries, and the centre and beach are on one side of the river while the railway station is on the other. We have gathered what is worth knowing before you arrive.
Timetables, prices and rules (for example on parking) change. We describe the general rules and point you to sources where you can check the current details.
