At the coast - Gdańsk, Sopot, Gdynia
Description
Jan-Pol Incoming Tour Operator in Krakow presents:
Gdansk, the biggest and most important of the three-cities which constitute theTri-city metropolis is also one of the oldest in Poland - it already celebrated its millennium. Its tempestuous history covers the periods from when Teutonic Knights reigned, followed by incorporation into Prussia, finally becoming an Independent City after World War I. It is where World War II broke out and where the “winds of change“ started blowing in one of the Gdansk shipyards and the Solidarity movement was born. Gdansk, Sopost and Gdynia together create a centre of splendid cultural and scientific achievements, as well as haveing the delightful atmosphere of sea ports and seaside resorts, comparable to Copenhagen, Lubeck or The Hague. However each one of the three is different: Gdansk means history, culture and science; Sopot is more of a sea resort and Gdynia, the youngest is an example of urbanization concepts of the early 20th century. Gdansk, at the heart of the Three-city region, makes an ideal destination for a city break, and a good base for discovering the northern part of Poland as well as Russian Kaliningrad.
