The Best Things To See And Do In Tczew Poland

Historic Tczew is a marvellous riverside town in the Kociewie region of Poland. It ranks as Poland’s 63rd biggest settlement, with just over 60,000 residents. For those visiting the world’s largest castle (by area) in nearby Malbork, Tczew makes a handy stopover on the other side of the famous Wisła river. This region now attracts tourists due to the unusual activities you can partake in and it has that special rural appeal away from the mighty tourist hubs such as Poznań and Gdańsk. These are the best things to see and do in Tczew.

1. Cross the famous Most Tczewski bridge

Bridge

Tczew has a sad history which is not often known by first time tourists. Officially, World War II started here; any Tczew resident will tell you the same. The earliest Nazi German attack was here around 4am on September 1, 1939 – the same day when there were two other attacks in Gdańsk. the Germans advanced across the main bridge (Most Tczewski) and were spotted and thwarted initially by the Polish army. The bridge has since been rebuilt and today, you can cross it by foot, vehicle or train.

Watch the sunset

Dreamy Tczew has a prestigious bank on Poland’s longest river, the Wisła. By day there is the the chance to sail down it, cycle by it and cross it. Come sunset, there is a stylish bar and restaurant called Pub Przystan, which is a favourite spot for locals to relax. It is just such a peaceful place to sit and have a drink watching the sunset that it may never occur to you that you are staring at the bridge where World War II began.

Pub Przystan, Nad Wisłą 6, 83-110 Tczew, Poland, +41 605 120 050
