Brama Wolińska is a prominent part of the town's history. Built in the Gothic style in the 14th century, this defensive gate is also known as Brama Chrobrego. At 26 metres tall and with six storeys, it gives a sense of the scale of the structure. The Centrum Informacji Turystycznej is located in the passageway.

Significant sections of the medieval town walls have survived. The most interesting and best-preserved section lies southwest of the Old Town, beside the Ina River. Also by the river stands the Spichlerz, a distinctive, detached three-storey building with a converted attic. It was built in 1749 and stands parallel to the river, about twelve metres from the bank.

The townscape also includes more recent uses of historic buildings. Twierdza Design is a historic industrial site developed from a railway water tower. The tower was renovated in 2019–2020; Twierdza Design is used by social organisations. The Goleniowska Aleja Legend also runs along the Ina River: a riverside promenade renovated in 2013, with granite sculptures depicting local legends.

Wilcze Uroczysko covers just under 63 hectares and extends across the municipalities of Goleniów and Stepnica. The nature reserve protects a marsh and valuable riparian woodland; it also provides a refuge for white-tailed eagles.

Uroczysko Święta has a different conservation purpose. Established in 1973, this 9.5-hectare nature reserve is located in the Goleniów Forest District. As a floristic reserve, it protects part of a deciduous woodland. Those interested in nature and landscapes can explore two distinct environments: wetlands and riparian woodland at Wilcze Uroczysko, and protected deciduous woodland at Uroczysko Święta.
