Gdynia is a city in Northern Poland, situated on Gdańsk Bay, on the coast of the Baltic Sea; along with Gdańsk, it is the main seaport of the country. The city is relatively modern; until 1920 it was a small fishing village. It was expanded during the Polish – Soviet war in order to create an independent port. Afterwards, the Polish built a city around the new seaport. Today, it has more than 20,000 residents and, together with Gdańsk and Sopot, forms a metropolitan area called the Tricity.
∙ Gdynia is famous for its international summer events such as the Gdynia Summer Jazz Days and the Polish Film Festival. The city boasts a tourist area that extends around the Poludniowe Pier: here you can visit many interesting museums such as the City Museum and the Nautical Museum, full of models and reproductions, and an original warship that can also be visited from the inside.
∙ Although recently developed, Gdynia still offers some old buildings to visit: the church of St. Michael the Archangel, the oldest church in Gdynia, and the neo-Gothic Manor House, dating back to the 17th century. In the port area, you can visit two museum ships and the Emigration Museum. Worth a visit is the Stone Mountain (Kamienna Gora), a hill in the heart of the city from where you can enjoy splendid views over the bay and relax in the surrounding park.
