Słubice
Spend a half‑day in Słubice: walk the riverfront, visit the Wikipedia monument and Collegium Polonicum, then grab a cheap pierogi lunch.
Słubice is a small border town opposite Frankfurt an der Oder. Its main attractions fit within a 20‑minute walk, so a single half‑day covers the sights and a meal; an extra night is only for convenience if you are crossing the border by car.
