Holiday in Kolberg

About Kolberg

Kolberg (Polish: Kołobrzeg) is Poland's most popular Baltic Sea resort and a place of longing for German vacationers – a city that uniquely combines brine spas, a wide sandy beach, a lively promenade, and a tumultuous German-Polish history. As a former German Hanseatic city, Kolberg still bears traces of its past: The Gothic St. Mary's Cathedral, the lighthouse at the harbor entrance, and the remnants of the historic old town tell of a city history spanning over a thousand years. The beach in Kolberg stretches for several kilometers – broad, fine sand lined with a modern promenade featuring cafés, souvenir shops, and the iconic pier ensemble. The promenade has been extensively modernized in recent years and today offers a successful blend of Polish seaside charm and contemporary architecture. In summer, life pulses here, with street performers, open-air concerts, and the ever-present scent of smoked fish and fresh waffles. What makes Kolberg particularly attractive for German visitors is its excellent spa and wellness tradition. The city has natural brine and peat spa resources, and numerous spa houses and wellness hotels offer professional spa treatments at prices that are significantly lower than in Germany. Many Germans regularly come to Kolberg for spa treatments – the combination of medical expertise, sea air, and affordable prices is unbeatable. Getting there is very easy for German vacationers: It takes only about 4 hours by car from Berlin via the highway, and the German-Polish border at Pomellen is hardly an hour away. Many hotels and restaurants speak German, making the stay particularly uncomplicated. The season runs from May to September, with Kolberg also being visited as a spa resort in autumn and winter.
