The Chrobry Embankment, formerly Haken’s Terrace, one of the most beautiful places in Europe. From here you can watch the vast panorama of the Odra River and the harbour. The viewing terraces are 500 m long and are located 19 m above the Odra river bank. The earliest written history of the area dates back to the sixteenth century. In 1873, a demolition of the eighteenth-century fortifications of Szczecin began. Thanks to the great commitment of Hermann Haken, High Mayor of Szczecin, in the years 1902-1905 a viewing terrace was formed on the site of Fort Leopold. Wide staircases run on both sides from the terrace to the banks of the river, where two pavilions were erected as the entrance to the restaurant, created contemporarily in the remains of the fortifications. At the bottom, there is a fountain decorated with figures of John of Kolno and Wyszak and two tall columns stylized as lighthouses. In the years 1906 to 1912 in the northern part of the terrace an architectural complex was built for the then regency of Szczecin, where now the authorities of the West-Pomeranian province have their headquarters. In addition, in the southern part of the Embankment a building complex of the Maritime Academy is located (from the years 1902-1905 and 1918-1921) and, housed in the same building, Contemporary Theatre and the Maritime Branch of the National Museum. Moreover, a large park is situated near the Chrobry Embankment.

At this museum, you will find audio guides and free guided tours to help you understand the work of contemporary artists. The permanent collection is not really permanent, as sections can be re-arranged, expanded, or reduced in the spirit of renewal typical of contemporary art. Other exhibitions focused on various types of art, from photography to media art, await you inside as well.

The Jean Lafitte National Historic Park and Preserve offers a fantastic opportunity to immerse yourself in Cajun culture and the natural beauty of the bayou. Named after the legendary "Gentleman Pirate" Jean Lafitte, who played a key role alongside General Andrew Jackson in defending New Orleans during the War of 1812, the park provides a rich historical experience. Visitors can also explore the Chalmette battlefield, where the pivotal Battle of New Orleans took place.
