💡 Tips

  • Explore the Old Town on foot; the historic center is compact and best experienced walking around the medieval walls and High Gate.
  • If you drive, look for parking spaces just outside the immediate old town center to avoid narrow streets.
  • The Parsęta river runs through the town; renting a kayak or taking a riverside walk is a great way to see a different side of Białogard.
  • Visit the Gothic Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary; the best light for photos of its brick exterior is in the late afternoon.
