Gdansk is a great place to spend the winter holidays. When temperatures drop, the beaches become emptier, and the concentration of iodine in the air increases. The perfect time to get to know Sopot from a completely different perspective - you can really have a great time here! One of the biggest attractions of the winter season in the Tri-City is, of course, fun on snow and ice! Ice rinks are sensational places to hang out and have fun. Most of them are open from November to the end of March.

Ski slope in Sopot - Lysa Gora
White madness with a view of the sea? Such a unique combination is possible only in one place in Poland - on Lysa Gora in Sopot. A 286-meter-long ski lift will take you to an altitude of 110 meters above sea level, from where you can ski down the slope while admiring the Bay of Gdansk. Those who don't feel very confident on the slope can try their hand at the toboggan run.
Address: 9 Herbert Street, 81-826 Sopot

The beach, which attracts crowds in the summer months, will now be just for you! You can take a romantic walk, watch the sunset or be alone with nature and the seaside landscape. After a winter walk, we suggest a warming visit to the sauna overlooking the Gdansk Bay or a great dinner in our recommended restaurants. Winter sports enthusiasts will have a unique opportunity to go skiing with a view of the sea. This unusual idea of spending the winter holiday: a combination of walks on the beach with "white madness" and skiing - is possible only in the Tri-City.
Fairy-tale illuminations, treats, original gifts and festive atmosphere await you at the Coal Market in Gdansk and at Grunwaldzki Square at the foot of Kamienna Gora in Gdynia.
A must-see trip during the winter season is the Christmas Market, which will put you in the holiday mood perfectly. It is ideal for both a family outing and a trip for two. There you can visit handicraft stalls, taste Christmas food, as well as watch performances by local artists and, probably most important for the little ones, meet Santa Claus.
