The town is located on the Odra Wschodnia (Reglitz), the eastern branch of the Oder river, about 20 km south of the pomeranian capital Szczecin (Stettin). The western branch of the Oder, 2 km away of the town center, marks the border to Germany since 1945. There is a straight road link between Gryfino and the German town of Mescherin across the two rivers.
