Gdańsk, Gdynia and Sopot

Tri-City is located on the Baltic coast and consists of three cities, Gdańsk, Gdynia and Sopot. The three cities are situated adjacent to one another forming one of the most-visited tourist destinations in Poland. Each of the cities are proudly independent and have their own unique character and history. You’ll find Gdynia in the north, Gdańsk in the south and Sopot in the middle with great transport links between each other.

Within Tri-City, Gdańsk is the most well-known Internationally. In the 1980s, Gdańsk was the birthplace of the Solidarity movement, which played a major role in bringing an end to communist rule in Poland and helped precipitate the collapse of the Eastern Bloc, the fall of the Berlin Wall and the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact. Gdańsk is also famous for being the location where the first shots of World War II were fired. Not surprisingly, two of the city’s main attractions are the World War II Museum, and the European Solidarity Centre.

There’s plenty to explore in Gdańsk including the picturesque Old Town, which includes the Royal Way leading to the riverfront via several city gates.

Gdansk’s little sister but still a tourist hotspot is Sopot, one of the most fashionable towns in Poland and Tri-City’s primary party destination. The town’s reputation as a spa resort began in the early 19th century, this quickly grew into a reputation as a playground for Europe’s elite, many of whom purchased summer homes there.

Just 62km away from Tri-City, is Malbork Castle, the largest castle in the world measured by land area and was designated a World Heritage Site in December 1997 by UNESCO. Located on the east bank of the River Nogat, this Gothic brick-built fortress once belonged to the Teutonic Order, and it served as their headquarters for almost 150 years.

Pomerania also boasts two national parks, Slowinski National Park and Bory Tucholskie National Park, it also has nine landscape parks and 127 nature reserves.
