Drink[edit]

Heringsdorf, Ahlbeck and Bansin each have their own distinctive centers with a nightlife of their own. Don't expect too many wild parties though, as they have a rather laidback flair with elegant lounges, cozy pubs and intimate music venues. Bordering Świnoujście (nicknamed "Swini") is known for its colourful nightlife with various dancing clubs.
