Szczecin seemed interesting, from what little I saw. Train station in a bad part of town, perhaps, but that’s not entirely surprising. And, like Prague, prices are low.

Prices are also calculated in a currency other than Euros. That switch is yet to come. But, the border with Germany has been open for a little while now, so there are no passport checks on the train. One minute you’re in Germany, the next you’ve crossed an invisible line.

Trains really are the only way to travel medium to long distances. No worries, no hassles, just easy. Still, four hours travel for a three hour tour of the city (and half of that at lunch) is a bit much to ask, even when it’s train travel.
