Gdynia is a young city, it was built on the site of a small fishing village after the end of the First World War. It was then that Poland got access to the sea, then the construction of a sea port began in Gdynia. The first naval ship entered the port in 1923. The port became the most important city-forming factor, and by 1926 the population of Gdynia had grown from 1,000 to 100,000 people.

The port is also famous for the fact that it was here that the Solidarity trade union movement was born, thanks to which Poland regained its independence.

During the Second World War, the city was captured by the Nazi troops and almost completely destroyed, after the war, the Poles restored it literally from the ruins. Today Gdynia is one of the largest and perhaps most modern equipped ports in the Baltic.

Entertainment, excursions and attractions of Gdynia

Gdynia gives the impression of a modern, bright, spacious city - this effect gives the architectural concept chosen for the city. The central part was built in the 20-30s of the last century, here prevails the modernist style, very popular at that time.

Tourists are sometimes amazed by memorial tablets with the inscription "monument of antiquity", but if we consider that time interval during which Gdynia exists, it becomes quite obvious that the buildings built in the first third of the 20th century are precisely the monuments of antiquity.

As in any Polish city, there are a lot of churches here, often with innovative architectural solutions, thanks to which they became not only places for prayers, but also decorations of the city. The square of Kosciuszka is decorated with various fountains worthy of tourists' attention.

Are very picturesque areas of the city of Orluv and Redlevo. On the steep bank, in which the high sea waves of all shades of blue are beating, a number of snow-white villas are built, which you can admire from the promenade. The landscape is good in any weather, and any weather gives him its colors. Next to these areas is the nature reserve Kemp-Redlovska, a favorite place for walking and playing sports with the citizens.

To view the panorama of the city center, the port and its water area can be viewed from the observation platform of the Stone Mountain, you can climb it on a rather comfortable wooden staircase.
