One of most striking features of Gdansk is the marina. Gdansk borders the Baltic Sea and serves as a major port of commerce and trade for the entire Northern European region. While the Baltic Sea is extremely cold during the spring and winter months, it is also a wonderful place for recreation during the summer months.

Gdansk and the Tri-City area surrounding the Gdansk Bay--which includes Gdynia and Sopot--support a thriving population. While in the city, you can visit impressive industrial complexes, leisurely stroll through the Tri-City Landscape Park, visit the wine cellar and beautifully colored gardens at the Dwor Oliwski hotel, and taste a unique collection of parochial and international cuisines at the many hotels and restaurants that line the streets.

Of particular interest to leisure travelers is the city of Sopot. This hideaway town is well known by locals. You can travel to Sopot easily from the Gdansk City Center and experience lavish spa treatments and relaxation. Especially during the cold winter months, when the Baltic Sea chills to temperatures close to freezing, residents of Gdansk love to take refuge in Sopot.

While in Gdansk, you might also explore the local history of the Pomeranian Voivodship. The best way to explore the region is through one of the guided tours we offer here at Poland and Beyond.
