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.
