Słubice is a unique town on the east bank of the Oder river, forming the direct border with Germany. Until 1945, it was the Dammvorstadt district of Frankfurt (Oder). Today, the two cities form a European twin town, connected by a bridge and close cooperation. This dynamic border location shapes Słubice's character, making it a bustling hub for trade, education, and culture. A key feature of the town is the Collegium Polonicum, a joint teaching and research institution of Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań and European University Viadrina in Frankfurt (Oder), which is a symbol of German-Polish reconciliation and cooperation. Another unique attraction is the Wikipedia Monument, unveiled in 2014 to honor the contributors of the online encyclopedia. Visitors also enjoy the lively 'bazaar,' which sells a wide variety of goods and attracts customers from both sides of the border. Exploring Słubice and Frankfurt (Oder) is easy on foot, offering a unique experience of visiting two countries in one day. Travel is straightforward thanks to its location on major European transport corridors, including the A2 motorway from Berlin to Warsaw. The best time to visit is during the summer to enjoy the lively atmosphere and riverside walks.
