15 Best Things to Do in Gdynia (Poland)

On Gdańsk Bay, Gdynia is a port city that sprouted in the interwar years of the 20th century. With white sandy beaches and coastal forest it quickly became a holiday resort, but was also Poland’s embarkation point for emigrants to America.

A new museum on this delicate topic and the Polish diaspora opened in 2015, and is joined by a few other attractions with maritime themes, like one of Poland’s top aquariums and a naval museum.

Having been built in the 1920s and 30s, Gdynia is endowed with more than its fair share of Modernist and early Functionalist architecture, and its apartment blocks, city amenities and museums bring a certain style to the city.

Let’s explore the best things to do in Gdynia:

1. Emigration Museum

In the interwar period this Modernist maritime terminal at Nabrzeże Francuskie (French Quay) was the point of departure for thousands of poles permanently leaving their homeland.

So at the beginning of the 2010s it was the obvious choice for a swish new museum about the phenomenon of emigration, opening to the public in 2015. The Emigration Museum has gathered lots of archive footage and photography, as well as sound recordings, firsthand testimony and personal items to paint a clear picture of why and how people departed for destinations like Brazil, Australia and the USA.

2. ORP Błyskawica

“Lightning” in English, this “Grom-class” destroyer is the oldest preserved ship of its kind in the world, having been commissioned in November 1937. ORP Błyskawica was built by the J. Samuel White shipyard on the Isle of Wight, and to save it from destruction was manoeuvred out of the Baltic on the eve of the Second World War.

After this it had a busy war, taking part in the evacuation at Dunkirk in 1940 and various battles in Europe and the North Atlantic.

The ORP Błyskawica became a museum ship in the 1970s, with a visitor trail that takes you over the deck to inspect a cross section of a torpedo, anti-aircraft guns, depth charges and naval mines.

Then you’ll go below, into the radio room, engine rooms and officers’ mess, with plaques explaining each area.

3. Dar Pomorza

Maintained by the Polish National Maritime Museum, this fully-rigged sailing ship is on the waterfront next to ORP Błyskawica and has had a career that has taken it around Europe.

Launched in Hamburg at the Blohm & Voss shipyard in 1909, she was sent to Great Britain in 1920 for war reparations.

After that Dar Pomorzia (Gift of Pomerania) became a training ship in France and then for the Polish Naval Academy in Gdynia.

In 1935 she was the first ship to sail around the world flying Polish colours.

And in the 1970s she was entered into tall ship races before retiring as a museum ship in 1983. You can go aboard to see the ship’s inner workings and read about its story on information panels.

4. Skwer Kościuszki (Kościuszko Square)

Named for Tadeuz Kościuszko Poland’s national hero who led the 1794 uprising against Russia, Skwer Kościuszki is somewhere you’ll keep returning to in Gdynia.

The city’s main square is more like a very broad promenade that leads onto the South Pier where the museum ships are docked.

Overlooking the square are Modernist tenement houses from the 1930s, as well as the Polish Navy’s command building, which was only decommissioned in 2014. A very cosmopolitan array of restaurants is at your fingertips in the square, and the marina, cinema, theatre aquarium and main museums are moments on foot.

5. Naval Museum

This institution looks after the ORP Błyskawica on the South Pier, but also has an indoor gallery at the building that it shares with the Gdynia City Museum.

The most valuable exhibit of all is waiting on the left wall just inside the entrance.

The Westerplatte Eagle is a bas relief of an eagle that used to adorn the entrance to the barracks at the Westerplatte Transit Depot.

This was found in a heap of rubble after the Second World War, as Westerplatte was the first land target in the German Invasion of Poland on 1 September 1939. The museum’s collections have been assembled since 1953 and feature uniforms and equipment, indoor and outdoor weaponry, medals, models, paintings and photography, mostly from the Second World War.

6. Kamienna Góra

Just south of the marina and South Pier is the most upscale neighbourhood in Gdynia.

An illustrious array of entrepreneurs and cultural figures have chosen this area for their villas over the last 80 years.

One of the reasons is its elevation, 50 metres over the rest of the city on an abrupt clay hill composed of till (glacial sediment). From the observation terrace, crowned with a monumental cross, you can trace the outline of Gdańsk Bay, see the yacht harbour and all of Gdynia’s northern districts.

7. Kamienna Góra Gdynia Funicular

The free funicular shuttling up and down the slope at Kamienna Góra is another new addition to the city, making its first trip in July 2015. The lower station is at the newly revitalised Plac Grunwaldzki, and both this and the upper station were designed to chime with Gdynia’s Modernist architecture.

The track is 115 metres long and there’s a single unmanned carriage that can take as many as 12 people up and down the slope between 10:00 and 22:00. The system is passenger operated, with buttons to call the train and start the journey.

8. Gdynia Beach

The main beach in Gdynia isn’t massive, but the location couldn’t be better, just down from the Marina and at the sitting below Kamienna Góra.

The fine white sandy beach curls around the bay for about 300 metres and is everything you could need on sunny days.

Although the water temperature is more than a little brisk, the beach is low-shelving and has ankle -high waves on calm days.

The sand is also hemmed by a long promenade that winds off into the Kępa Redłowska natural park to the south.

At its northern starting point are cafes and restaurants with outdoor tables giving way to a long grassy strip.

9. Orłowo Pier

Opened during the First World War, this pleasure pier serves the village and seaside resort of Orłowo a few short kilometres down the coast.

At one time, when Orłowo was competing with the neighbouring resort of Sopot, the pier was 430 metres long.

But after being swept away in a storm in 1949 it is now at 180 metres.

People love the pier today for the simple elegance of its whitewashed timbers and benches, and its views to the north of the Orłowski Cliffs.

For early risers there’s no better place to watch the sunrise, and within a couple of minutes you’ll come across a few cafes and restaurants.

10. Motor Museum

Stepping into this private automotive museum, you can tell that the owner has put a lot of love into the attraction.

There are 200 historic vehicles a hall with a vintage theme; even the floor is laid with Gdynia’s cobblestones from the 1920s.

The exhibition has 50 cars, which are outnumbered by by a collection 150 motorcycles from the first half of the 20th century, made by Indian, Harley-Davidson, Zündapp, Royal Enfield, BMW and the Polish Sokół brand.

Some special vehicles to seek out include the sleek WFM Osa moped, a Škoda Tudor, a Model T Ford and a Buick Master Six from the mid-1920s.

This last car still has its original coat of paint, upholstery and holds American air in its tyres.

11. Museum of Gdynia

Gdynia may be a new city, but its rapid development in the interwar period is well worth looking into.

This museum has lots of artefacts detailing those early years, with archive photography documenting the construction of the port and then its destruction during the Second World War.

There’s also a miscellany of documents from that time, like posters, driving licences, school certificates, passports, tickets, restaurant menus, maps and marriage certificates, shedding light on daily life in interwar Gdynia.

At the time of writing there were two short term exhibitions, for the history of Gdynia’s Protestant community, and the photography of Tadeusz Wański who photographed the city’s architecture in the 1920s.

12. Kępa Redłowska

Between Gdynia and Orłowo is a 118-hectare nature reserve created in 1938 to protect coastal beech forest and rare swathes of Swedish whitebeam.

The park is within the city’s boundaries but civilisation will feel a long way away in this unspoiled woodland and by the sea on deserted beaches.

And if you want to make a day of it you could walk on a seafront trail all the way to Sopot.

Things get very scenic at the park’s headland where the Orłowski Cliffs create a natural balcony for 650 metres.

These are made from glacial sediment and climb above narrow beaches clustered with rocks.

13. Torpedownia Babie Doły

This eerie disused torpedo station is a sight for people interested in military installations, as well as those who see the beauty in dilapidated buildings.

The station is inaccessible, a few hundred metres offshore, some ten kilometres north of Gdynia.

It was built as a research centre by the Wehrmacht at the start of the Second World War and back then was connected to the shore via a pier that was finally dismantled in the 1990s.

Now the facility is a shell easily visible from the beach and being slowly taken apart by the sea and severe winters.

14. Centrum Nauki Experyment

A joint initiative by the city and the Pomeranian Science and Technology Park, Centrum Nauki Experyment is one of Poland’s top interactive science museums.

There are 200 interactive stations and learning is guided by a large team of enthusiastic attendants.

One of the best bits is Hydroworld, where kids can get to grips with the basics of hydrological engineering, creating a whirlpool, building a sluice dam and an Archimedes screw.

They can also perform surgery (virtual, thankfully), experiment with magnetism, experience an earthquake and find out how the human senses can be deceived with tricks and illusions.

15. Gdynia Aquarium

This immensely popular visitor attraction on the South Pier opened its doors in 1971 and is in a Modernist ferry terminal from 1938. In aquarium’s tanks are some 215 species of fish, invertebrates, reptiles and amphibians, from Chinese turtles to garden eels, exhibited in more than 900 square metres.

Among the variety of habitats are coral reef, the Baltic Sea, seagrass beds and the Amazon.

The tanks are combined with static displays about oceanography and hydrobiology, and there’s also a movie theatre that opened in 2005 and screens underwater films.

The Baltic Hall deserves special attention, on the top floor with great vistas over Gdańsk Bay.

What other guests say about our tours and locals

Amazing Food Tour Experience

"Easy booking experience, good communication with details and contacts. Markek was unfortunately unwell on the day, however arranged a collegue Christoph to cover the tour. Christoph was excellent-very personable, good knowledge and friendly. Food experience was amazing - tried local dishes (zoup)drinks experience (inc: cherry liqueur and local vodka/beer). The places we visited and the food we had, we would not of tried had we not gone on the tour. Highly recommended."

Wonderful tour of old yown Gdansk

"Marek took us on a short two hour tour of the old town of Gdansk that was highly interesting and entertaining. Marek’s passion, enthusiasm and extensive knowledge of the subject matter was plainly obvious, plus in spite of the short amount of time, he conveyed everything clearly and in a very enjoyable manner. Plus, when we were caught in a brief 30 minute downpour, he paused the tour while we took shelter and then resumed where we had left off, still putting in the full 2 hours of tour time. We could not recommend Marek more highly - you will be happy with your choice should you decide to use his services!"

Brilliant Guide with Great prospective!

"Marek was punctual and kept a good pace while keeping all the information he had to share in a very understandable format. He is very well studied with history and architecture and shared several points that are not found in tour books. He also shared recommendations to pubs and eateries from a local perspective. Amazing young man with a brilliant character. "

Excellent food and history tour with Marek

"We had a really fantastic afternoon with Marek. He kindly put together a food and walking tour based on our requirements, and we were treated to the sights and flavours of gdansk. It is such a beautiful town! Marek is so knowledgeable about local history, and also recommended us places to go on other days (for food and cultural excursions). We are a group of 3 adults, and it was great to have a private tour with Marek. We can be a little unruly and probably demanding, and Marek dealt with us with humour and kindness. We would completely recommend contacting Marek for a tour around Gdansk."

Really great guide

"We enjoyed our tour with Marek. He customized it to our needs, was very informative, and helped with local recommendations. "

Outstanding

"On time. Tour exceeded our expectations and Marek full og knowledge and gave us time to ask questions and no shortage of answerers. Highly recommend. "

"Marek was right on time. Happy to take us around Gdansk answering our questions, stopping for endless photos. We really enjoyed the tour which was exactly the right length for these old legs. Bravo Marek!😀"

Brilliant Food and Cultural Tour

"After a minor delay (5 mins due to snow related traffic) we met our host Marek. Marek was extremely knowledgable regarsing the architectural and historic sights in and around Ghdansk, which really added to the food tour. The Polish Resteraunt qe went to was first class, we experinced 10 different tastes of Ghdansk/Polish cuisine. From Sour Soup, to Pierogies and Amber Beer, it was all excellent and really ticked the box as authentic Polish cuisine tasting. With the stunning knowledge and passion Marek shared his passion for food, history and architecture of this stunningly beautiful city. Excellent tour."

Very good introduction

"Marek introduced us to some lovely spots and nice dishes. He also gave recommendations for a lot more to explore. He also had a lot of knowledge about polish history and the town of Gdansk. "
