Gdynia
Gdynia is a relatively new city, located north of Gdańsk
and Sopot. Until 1926 it was a small and quiet fisher's town. But
when after the first world war the map of Europe was reshaped, the
area around Gdynia became the only gateway to the sea for the
reborn state of Poland. Therefore many efforts were made to develop
the port of Gdynia, as a result of which the town grew within a few
decades to a large and vibrant city, with a surprisingly vivid
nightlife.
The main attractions in Gdynia are the museum ships Dar Pomorza
and Błyskawica, which are located along the pier, the Gdynia
Aquarium and the recently built magnificent Sea Towers.
