Phoenix from the flames
Gdańsk is one of Europe’s best kept secrets. Expecting a glum commie city? Think again. The Old Town captivates, and couldn’t look any sweeter if it was built by the good Mr Kipling and his little helpers.... -

Goldwasser
No visit to Gdańsk is complete without sampling the local fire water, Goldwasser vodka. Created by Ambrose Vermollen, a Dutch migrant living in Gdańsk, the first recorded mention of it dates to 1598, though it would be years later that Vermollen would open the first recorded distillery, Der Lachs (The Salmon) on ul .... -
Wałęsa's old home
Before Lech Walesa was thrust into the limelight and into the history books from the beginning of the 1980s, he lived like most of his co-workers in one of the huge housing developments which were built up around the city.... -
Scottish Gdańsk
If you’ve been reading our reviews and using our maps you may have noticed that the Tri-City is the home of two suburbs named Nowe and Stare Szkoty (New and Old Scots)....
Let's Gdańsk!
Gdansk Waterfront with ZurawGdansk, as the overachieving senior sibling, is the most popular and well-known of the three cities thanks to its role in World War II and the Solidarity movement. This year Gdansk is also celebrating the year of Johannes Hevelius, the famed astronomer and inventor who was born 400 years ago and is considered the city’s most famous resident. The renovated History of Gdansk Museum in the heart of the Old Town has an impressive exhibit on the man Gdansk is rightly so proud of.
Sopot is the middle sibling trying to establish itself as the destination of choice for trendy clubs and bars, boasting an array of hotspots like Vinoteque Sopot for wordly wines and the thumping beats of clubs like Versalka lining the recently refurbished Monte Cassino. The city’s refurbished wooden pier is the longest of its kind in Europe, offering excellent access to the Baltic Sea and views of the rolling waves.
And finally, Gdynia is the up-and-coming sibling, doing its best to cultivate a personality distinct from her sisters - - and having to work harder at it since the city doesn’t have the historical city centers of the others. But that doesn’t mean Gdynia lacks attractions; when the temperature drops visitors that crowded the beach get to shift their focus to attractions like the Gdynia Aquarium or wandering the four stories of the modern Gdynia City Museum.
Like a dutiful parent we can’t pick between these three coastal cities and recommend spending at least a little time in each. As always we sincerely hope you enjoy your time in Gdansk, Gdynia and Sopot and the guide we have put together, and we welcome your feedback at editor_poland@inyourpocket.com

A little about the city to get you started
Gdansk is a city with an incredible history not least in the 20th century when two major changes in civilisation were sparked by events here. The opening salvos of WWII were followed 41 years later by the signing of the August Accords in the Gdańsk shipyards: a key moment in history which many regard as the spark that inspired the fall of communism.
You should also check out our special Solidarity section.
Gdańsk In Your Pocket is the most comprehensive guide you will find covering the city, and includes everything from hotel and restaurant listings to bars, clubs and museums.
