Where to stay in Skolwin
The practical side of choosing where to sleep.
Szczecin keeps the beds. Skolwin is residential ground of single-family detached homes and tenements with an industrial area of manufacturing buildings alongside, so most visitors book in the city proper and travel out to the North district for the Mścięcino Forest Park and the water. If you want a base by the trees rather than the centre, Skolwin and the smaller neighbourhoods of Babin and Skoki inside it are where to look.

Its Polish name is Kościół Chrystusa Króla w Szczeciniu.
