What the tunnel changed
Before 2023 the only way for cars to cross between the islands was by ferry, with long queues in season. Today you drive from the S3 straight into the tunnel and a few minutes later you are on Usedom, close to the beach and the centre. Some city bus lines also run through the tunnel.
