How we check sources

Sources

Every entry names its source, observation period, area covered, how it is used and its limitations.

What these details cover
Practical stay areas inside Kołobrzeg urban gmina: the historic spa district, Old Town/Śródmieście, Podczele and Radzikowo
This source helps check
supporting information

Municipal heritage pages define the historic spa district and Old Town, while the spa-protection resolution maps Podczele and Radzikowo. After a 2021 abolition, Resolution LVI/808/22 created nine current auxiliary districts. Podczele and Radzikowo are among those districts; Śródmieście is also a current district, while the visitor-facing Old Town label refers to its historic core. Dzielnica Uzdrowiskowa is a historic and visitor-facing area, not one of the nine current districts. The four stay labels therefore have different administrative status.

The Podczele–Grzybowska line 5 table remains labelled effective from 1 September 2026. It marks services ending at Jagiellońska–Dworzec PKP with + and states that all stops are on request; not every service continues to the western Grzybowska terminus. POLREGIO's city-ticket page lists Kołobrzeg, Amfiteatr, Ogrody, Radzikowo and Stadion, with linked terms labelled effective from 19 March 2026. The station page identifies Kołobrzeg but does not establish step-free access. Check direction, departure symbols, boarding/alighting rules and current services with the operators before travel.

Official city and heritage material verifies the location and visitor role of all six anchors. Editorial pages use them to shape a day and choose a base; they do not freeze admission prices, opening hours, accessibility or temporary closures.

Christmas Eve is a statutory day off in Poland from 2025. In 2026 it falls on Thursday, followed by Christmas Day on Friday and the second Christmas holiday on Saturday. The dates support closure and transport planning; they do not establish the opening hours of any operator, shop, restaurant or attraction.

Recurring Christmas market beside Kołobrzeg Town Hall; current 2026 date attribution remains unconfirmed
This source helps check
supporting information

The official organiser describes a recurring Christmas market beside the Town Hall and gives vendor operating information, but the public page does not make the event year sufficiently clear to publish its displayed dates as a confirmed 2026 schedule. The guide therefore names the usual setting while directing travellers to recheck the current RCK and city calendars.

Road tunnel and bus links between Uznam and Wolin, the winter Bielik ferry and bus P1 arrangement, Polish rail terminus Świnoujście in Warszów on Wolin, and German-side Świnoujście Centrum rail access on Uznam
This source helps check
trip planning

ZDMiŻ announced on 28 September 2026 that from 17 October 2026 to 18 April 2027 one Bielik ferry serves the Warszów crossing, while some daytime sailings are replaced by city bus line P1 with a van and bicycle trailer running through the tunnel between the ferry landings; two Bielik ferries return from 19 April. The published timetable has no night sailings, and the city bus network lists night line N between Dworzec PKP and Kapitanat Portu. The road tunnel does not admit ordinary pedestrians or bicycles. The Polish PKP terminus is the station named Świnoujście in the Warszów district beside the ferry, distinct from the Świnoujście Warszów halt. The UBB RB23/RB24 timetable is valid through 12 December 2026, and PKP PLK's 2026/27 timetable year starts on 13 December 2026. In 2024 ZDMiŻ published a separate holiday ferry timetable on 23 December; no 2026 holiday timetable was published by 2 October. Check services and temporary closures again shortly before travel.

What these details cover
City procurement plan for the 2026 Christmas market (16–20 December, ul. Bohaterów Września); preferred bid selected, but public opening hours and programme not yet announced
This source helps check
supporting information

The City Hall request for quotations WPT.271.100.2026.MD, published 18 September 2026, gives the planned Christmas-market dates as 16–20 December 2026 on ul. Bohaterów Września. Its procurement result, published 2 October and safely accessible on 5 October, names ProManagement Julia Anna Sienkiewicz as the preferred bid. This does not establish a signed contract, final visitor dates, opening hours or a public programme. Separate procurement WPT.271.97.2026.KR plans tree lighting on 5 December and a concert on 19 December on plac Wolności and warns that December dates may change. No first-party public programme was found in the 5 October check. The 2025 market on plac Rybaka is historical context only.

Official sources verify the terminal station and the existence of rail and municipal transport corridors needed for a car-free plan. They do not justify permanent frequency, journey-time or fare claims; engineering works and replacement transport must be checked for the exact date. The operator page also carries an undated notice about the Pułaskiego–Tylicz section and a diversion via Jakubik. Confirm whether it applies to your travel date before choosing a stop or connection.

Krynica-Zdrój municipality demand-series availability; comparison with Nowy Sącz county GUS accommodation-use publication
This source helps check
supporting information

GUS explains the accommodation statistics and confidentiality limits, but the available 2024 result covers the wider Nowy Sącz county rather than Krynica-Zdrój municipality alone. The municipal report records combined spa-fee revenue while the 2024 daily rates differed between Krynica-Zdrój and Tylicz. The combined revenue cannot therefore be converted into an exact municipal overnight-stay total.
