Tczew, Railway town in Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland

The city stretches along the western bank of the Vistula River, featuring an Old Town district and two monumental railway bridges from the 19th century.

The settlement received town privileges in 1260 from Duke Sambor II of Pomerania, establishing control over river traffic and regional trade routes.

The Museum of the Vistula River, housed in a former industrial building, presents exhibits about maritime heritage and regional water management traditions.

The central railway station connects multiple regional lines, providing direct access to major Polish cities including Gdansk, Warsaw, and Bydgoszcz.

The town witnessed the first military action of World War II when German forces attacked its strategic bridges on September 1, 1939.
