What to see in Kołobrzeg - the most important attractions

Kołobrzeg is one of the most popular cities on the Polish Baltic Sea—it combines a wide beach, a port, a spa climate, and a rich history. If you're visiting for the first time, here are the top attractions worth seeing.

1. Pier and lighthouse

A walk along the pier (approximately 220 meters) is a must-see on any visit—from its end, you can admire the beach, harbor, and city skyline. Right next to it stands a historic lighthouse at the harbor entrance, on the site of a former fort. You can climb it and admire Kołobrzeg from the upper gallery for a bird's-eye view.

2. Port and cruises

Excursion and sightseeing boats depart from the Kołobrzeg port—short cruises along the coast are a great activity for the whole family. A modern yacht marina operates nearby.

3. Co-Cathedral

The Co-Cathedral Basilica is a Gothic church in the heart of the old town – one of the most valuable monuments of Pomerania, with a characteristic shape and rich furnishings.

4. Polish Arms Museum and Maritime Open-Air Museum

The Polish Arms Museum presents military items and the history of the city, while the open-air Maritime Museum and ships on the quay present the maritime history of Kołobrzeg.

5. Spa park and graduation tower

Kołobrzeg is a health resort - in the spa parks you can breathe iodine-saline air, and at the graduation tower you can feel a microclimate similar to a seaside inhalation center.

6. Monument to Poland's Wedding to the Sea and the seaside promenade

The symbolic Monument to Poland's Wedding to the Sea commemorates the year 1945. Along the shore runs a promenade with restaurants, cafes, and viewpoints.

7. Eco Park and city greenery

For a more peaceful holiday, we recommend Eco Park Wschodni and the seaside green areas – perfect for cycling or walking outside the season.
