About Kołobrzeg

Including tips for the best time to visit Kołobrzeg

Located on the Baltic Sea, Kołobrzeg – meaning ‘by the shore’ – is a seaside resort and spa town in Poland. It boasts a sandy beach that stretches for about 12 kilometres, a host of interesting museums and a charming old town.

Reminiscent of a turreted castle, Kołobrzeg’s town hall is a red-brick structure that was constructed in the 19th century. Home to a contemporary art gallery, a music venue and a café, the Neo-Gothic building sits on a lively square with plenty of dining and retail options. A few minutes’ walk away, the Kołobrzeg Cathedral was originally built in the 14th century, destroyed during the Second World War and rebuilt after. Today, you can still see a few precious artefacts from centuries ago that the Gothic church has retained. Towards the port, the Kołobrzeg Lighthouse stands tall, offering panoramic views and a mineral museum.

The Kołobrzeg Pier, or Molo, is one of the most popular spots in the city for locals and tourists alike. Extending into the Baltic Sea, the 220-metre-long structure promises views of the sea, the promenade and the lighthouse, as well as sightseeing cruises and a café. Nearby, the city’s beaches beckon with sun-drenched sands and crystal waters.

Not a pretty town.

12 February 2024

Not a pretty town. I wouldn't recommend or come back. The beach is pretty and relatively empty in winter, but in reality, there is nothing worth visiting. We just had a good time because we were together as a family, the room was big enough, and we were taking everything as a joke. We will definitely not go back. But in case someone goes, I strongly recommend the Italian restaurant Volare. Best part of the trip! Amazing pizza, worth much more than the rest of the town.

Kolobrzeg has a very charming old center and a great access to a wide clean beach. I enjoyed our visit to Amber Museum, old church and city hall. There is beautiful park in the heart of Kolobrzeg where you can just sit and relax away from the crowds.

Not my favourite place, too much of commercial entertainment.

16 August 2023

Not my favourite place, too much of commercial entertainment. In restaurants they did not speak much English nor Czech. In one they served expensive food in plastic bowls, drinks in plastic cups, with the excuse there is no running water. Otherwise beach was ok, water in July terribly cold. Almost no one was swimming. Be ready for the mountain's creek water temperature. Prices same as in the rest of Europe. Coffee for 4 EUR as well as beer. Only cigarettes are cheap - but much lower quality....

A beautiful city with a peaceful atmosphere.

A beautiful city with a peaceful atmosphere. A big added value is clean air and a beautiful beach. It is possible to engage in both health and wellness activities here. It is possible to use city bikes and electric scooters. You can choose from a number of restaurants in the locality. In general, you can eat very cheaply. It is also possible to buy quality food in supermarkets.

Friendly and welcoming owner.

Friendly and welcoming owner. We would like to stay here again. I forgot some documents in the apartment and the owners were very kind to send them back. The communication is perfect, quick and frinedly. We had one evening the singer under the terace and enjoyed her well done performance. It was another bonus :-). Except the main attraction like lighthouse, molo we also recommend to visit, Kołobrzeski Skansen Morski.

Such nice green location, lots of green shady places fir walking and cycling. Wide beach with gradual sea entrance and the finest sand ideal for sand castles. The weather may be cold sometimes (19-22), but it is ideal time for some walks. The sea is rather cold, needs getting used to. Can be windy.
