Discover Świnoujście
Świnoujście occupies a chain of Baltic islands at Poland’s north-west corner, combining a major Sweden ferry gateway with one of the country’s broadest urban beaches.
The long sandy beach and seaside promenade are the city’s main visitor draw. Summer cafés, cycle paths and spa architecture give Świnoujście a relaxed resort atmosphere that contrasts with the large commercial and ferry harbour nearby.
The Świnoujście Lighthouse is one of the Baltic coast’s defining landmarks. On the eastern side of the Świna, it stands near Fort Gerhard and the harbour entrance, providing a strong maritime excursion for travellers with time before or after a crossing.
Fortifications around the river mouth reflect the city’s strategic history. Fort Anioła and the Western Fort are accessible from the resort side, while Fort Gerhard sits across the water near the lighthouse.
The unusual island geography matters for practical travel. Tunnels, roads, local ferries and rail links connect the urban areas, while cycle routes continue into neighbouring Germany and along the Baltic coast.
The passenger-ferry network is focused on Sweden. In 2026 the integrated POLSCA Baltic Ferries network sells both Świnoujście–Ystad and Świnoujście–Trelleborg, with multiple sailings and vehicle options across the year.
The ferry terminal is in the port area rather than beside the beach resort. Vehicle travellers should follow terminal signage and the booking confirmation, while foot passengers should check the exact operator arrangements and local transport before setting out.
