City tour Frankfurt (Oder) - Słubice: Boundlessly beautiful

The city tour takes you across the busy city bridge to the eastern side of the river to Słubice in Poland. The city tour starts at the German-Polish Tourist Information. St. Mary's Church is located directly on the market square and features colorful medieval stained glass windows on its three impressive twelve-meter-high choir windows.
Following the Oder River, one can cross the 250-meter-long bridge that connects the two cities, forming a twin city, from Frankfurt (Oder) to Słubice. The bridge serves as a symbol of overcoming borders in Europe and is illuminated at night.

The “Collegium Polonicum” is not only a joint teaching and research facility of the European University, but also offers a wonderful view of the Oder from its roof terrace.
Not far away is the "Smok" cultural center, which is the largest cultural center in Słubice and is both an exhibition and event venue. Here you can discover the OKNO gallery and have a short stop at the local restaurant.
After the parish church of the Holy Virgin Mary, which can be seen from afar, you come to the Orthodox Church. The influences of the Russian Orthodox religion are clearly visible in this building. The church's typical onion dome is particularly striking.

Afterwards, various green areas invite you to linger. On the "Plac Bohaterów" there is a barrier-free play and recreation area with modern seating and beautiful, colorful fountains. On the "Plac Wolności" a life-size statue of "Käthchen von Heilbronn" commemorates the twin towns of Heilbronn and Słubice. The "Plac Przyjaźni" with its playful fountains is also a wonderful place to take a break. The way back leads over the city bridge back to Frankfurt (Oder) past the Museum Viadrina, where works of art from the Brandenburg State Museum can be viewed.
