Travelling with Pets in Kolobrzeg
๐ต๐ฑKolobrzeg, PolandยทUpdated 1 August 2026
Kolobrzeg is a small, flat resort town, easy to cover on foot or bike with a dog. The nearest airport is Szczecin (SZZ), about 80 km away, and the town itself has a small local bus network (MZK) plus a seasonal tourist train. A dog on a leash and muzzle is the standard requirement across Polish public transport.
| Mode | Policy | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Local buses (MZK Kolobrzeg) | Dogs are allowed on board if kept on a leash and muzzled (except guide dogs). Small dogs in a closed carrier travel without a muzzle. Animals may not occupy seats. | ๐ก Buses are small and can get crowded in summer, a large dog is often easier walked than boarded during peak season. |
| Regional & intercity trains (PKP) | Small dogs in an enclosed carrier travel free. Larger dogs need a dog ticket (around 15 PLN on PKP Intercity) and must be leashed and muzzled for the whole journey, with a valid rabies certificate. | ๐ก Kolobrzeg's main station has direct trains to Poznan, Warsaw and Szczecin, useful if arriving from elsewhere in Poland without a car. |
| Seasonal tourist train (kolejka turystyczna) | The road-train that shuttles visitors between the beach, promenade and Old Town in summer generally accepts small dogs on a lap or in a carrier, at the driver's discretion. Larger dogs are usually better off walking, the route is short and flat anyway. | ๐ก Don't count on it for a big dog, treat it as a fun option for small dogs only. |
| Car & parking | A car is the most flexible way to reach Kolobrzeg and to combine it with day trips to the coast at Ustronie Morskie or Dzwirzyno. Paid parking zones operate in the town centre and near the beach in season. | ๐ก Book accommodation with private parking in July and August, street spots near the promenade fill up early. |
