Taxis in Szczecin
With a rich history dating back over a thousand years, the city of Szczecin in northwestern Poland boasts a fabulous art scene with several museums to marvel at and beautiful outdoor destinations for everyone to enjoy. While Szczecin is a great town to explore on foot, the centre of the city is quite spread out which is why we recommend using a Szczecin taxi to get around easily and in comfort.
Save time by hailing one from the street, calling a radio taxi company directly or using a taxi app, walking to a designated taxi rank, or booking a private transfer in advance.
