Tczew (, formerly ) is a city on the Vistula River in the Pomeranian Voivodeship, in northern Poland, with 59,111 inhabitants (December 2021). It is the capital of Tczew County and the largest city of the ethnocultural region of Kociewie within the historic region of Pomerania.
Founded in the Middle Ages with city rights since 1260, Tczew was a major river port on the Vistula, and prospered as a major center for grain trade in Poland. The city is known for its Old Town with medieval Gothic churches, and the Vistula bridges, which played a key role in the Invasion of Poland at the onset of World War II. During the war, it was the location of a major German-operated transit camp for Poles expelled from the region, now home to the Vistula River Museum, the main museum devoted to the history of Poland's longest river.
