Learn about the most important attractions
When visiting Gdansk, it would be a sin not to visit Old Oliwa and one of the most charming corners of the city - Adam Mickiewicz Oliwa Park, which was created in the 18th century on the site of the former gardens of the Cistercian monks' monastery. Here you can meet specimens of plants brought from almost all over the world. It is worth going to the newly opened Palm House. Among the most beautiful buildings of old Oliwa is the Oliwa Cathedral - a three-nave vaulted basilica. While strolling through Oliwa Park you can also visit the Abbots' Palace and the Ethnographic Museum. For families with children we recommend a walk in the nearby ZOO. While in the area, it's also worth climbing Pacholek for a panoramic view of the city. The free observation tower offers a picturesque view of beautiful Gdansk.
The legendary place has become a refuge for Tri-City alternative artists in recent years. When visiting Gdansk, it's worth a trip here to see how history combines with avant-garde art in an interesting way and becomes a tourist attraction. The shipyard areas today have more to do with independent culture, art and entertainment than shipbuilding. Nevertheless, visiting them requires passing through one of the most famous gates in Poland, the so-called "historical gate" right next to the Monument to the Victims of December 70. While there, it is worth visiting, among others, ul. Elektryków and 100cznie - a cluster of food trucks, bars and art spaces located in containers and post-shipyard buildings, the Imperial Shipyard, the docking basin and its art installation, WL4 - an art gallery in the old Shipyard building and the M3 Crane - an absolute must see!

A port city with plenty of attractions
The building of the Marine Station used to be crowded with emigrants. From here the legendary Polish transatlantic ships "Pilsudski" and "Batory" set sail. Today you can visit the Emigration Museum here - the first museum in the country dedicated to the history of emigration and the history of Poles around the world. Interestingly, the museum is one of the few institutions that tells about the past in a place that is actually connected to historical events. It is located in the modernist building of the Marine Station. Inside you will see an exhibition that tells the history of emigration from the 19th century to the present day - after Poland joined the European Union. On the multimedia globe you will see what the presence of our compatriots in the world looks like. Without leaving the building you will be able to take a sea voyage to New York and Chicago.
The most famous place in Gdynia and a must-see on any tour is undoubtedly Kosciuszko Square. It is the main place of entertainment and recreation for residents of Gdynia and tourists who want to take a stroll and see, by the way, numerous nautical attractions in the form of the historic destroyer ship "ORP Blyskawica" and the sailing ship "Dar Pomorza." This is the only place where within a 10-minute walk you will find a venue for cultural events and entertainment, the harbor wharf and even a sandy beach adjacent to the yacht basin. An unforgettable experience of the depths of the seas will be provided by the Oceanographic Museum and the Maritime Aquarium located here. From here you can also take a cruise ship to the Hel Peninsula or Gdansk. Lovers of walking can take a walk along the nearby Seaside Boulevard. This most famous promenade runs between the foot of Kamienna Gora and Kępa Redłowska, and the Gdansk Bay. It connects the beach in Downtown with the beach in Redlow.
Gdynia is different from the old Pomeranian cities. It's numerous nautical references: round windows, referring to ships' portholes, sharp building blocks, resembling ships' hulls, superstructures, whose prototype was a captain's bridge, or external stairs like ship's gangways...There are few such large, compact ensembles of modernist architecture in Europe as in Gdynia.The city, built as a Polish dream, a "window to the world", as part of an ambitious economic plan, was at the same time a field for young Polish architects, urban planners, decorators and interior designers. Gdynia's modernist Downtown was formed in the very short period of the decade of the 1930s, which further strengthened the symbolic message of "white architecture" and "sunny city."
