Let’s discover Gdańsk, an old port city, historically the richest city on the Baltic Sea coast. Let yourself be carried away by the smells, sounds, images of this city: I will show you the Middle Ages and modern times in all their glory.

And it is not all. I would also be happy to show you what’s around Gdansk, including the two neighbouring cities, Gdynia and Sopot, which together with Gdansk forms an agglomeration called the Tricity (in Polish: Trójmiasto).

Visiting the Tricity. Here is a brief description of the 3 cities:

● Gdańsk has a history of more than a millennium including history and wealth of Hanseatic city. 

● Sopot is an all-green seaside resort: its quaint turn-of-the-century buildings are enveloped in gardens, the whole town covered in old trees. See Sopot through the eyes of this resort resident. Be amazed by its architecture, greenery, culture. Understand the phenomenon of this used to be called “the Monte Carlo of the North”.

● The port of Gdynia was suddenly built during the 1920s and thus the abrupt start of the city.  Is Gdynia a “no corner city”? Get to know modernist Gdynia as the flywheel for the Polish economy of the interwar period.

● The coast is lined with sandy beaches.

● On the west side of the Tricity are tens of kilometers of magnificent forests set on picturesque hills formed at the end of the ice age and two regions, different ethnologically: Kashubia and Kociewie.

● On the east a flat and very fertile land: Żuławy with its own interesting history of acceptance of other cultures, rich agriculture and noble households.  It is also the area where the Teutonic Knights settled down in the 13th c. and where the largest brick castle in the world has been built: the castle of of Malbork.

● and that’s not all, there is much more to discover 🙂
