Słupsk is the workaday capital of western Pomerania and proud of its unglamorous virtues: a Pomeranian dukes' castle housing the world's largest collection of Witkacy's portraits, a handsome brick town hall, and the cheapest city hotels in the voivodeship — from €39.
Its real role for travellers is as a base: Ustka's beach is 20 minutes, Łeba's dunes under an hour, and the Słowiński lakes in between — all at inland prices with mainline rail connections.
Around the old town and castle for walkability; the station quarter for early trains. Business hotels here cost what a beach pension costs in July.
