10 Things to do in Gdynia That You Shouldn't Miss
A small fishing village until the 20th century, Gdynia was rapidly built into Poland’s largest and busiest sea port after World War I. As a result, it’s mainly a very modern city. The most significant older attraction is the 13th-century St. Michael the Archangel Church. Two museum ships in the harbor, a destroyer and a frigate, are also popular with visitors. Gdynia has a thriving cultural life and in September hosts the annual Polish Film Festival, sometimes called the “Polish Cannes.”

This battle ship is a museum now. For kids it can be fun to go on board but for me pictures are enough.

Pier in Gdynia Orłowie is about 180 m long and now is a pier promenade. The first pier was established here in 1924 and was 115 m Five years later it was rebuilt and extended to 430 m so that it could also serve as a haven for coastal shipping vessels. The construction materials used in the exploded at that time a wooden pier in Gdynia. After World War II the pier was destroyed in a storm, and reduced it to its present length, ie 180 meters from the pier on the right we see the most advanced part of Holmes

I walked through Rwdlowo woods and along the beach to reach Orlowo pier. Although the paths through the woods require watching and the signage is minimal, the walk along the beach was very relaxing but slow going. Both the woods and the beach were among the highlights of my stay in Gdansk. Three odd feature of that walk were: firstly, seeing evidence of fires lit using forest wood on the beach and people scrambling through the fragile root systems of the cliff side trees; secondly, the woods are full of birds (woodpeckers... etc) and animals (I even saw a boar and her piglets feasting of windfall apples near where I was staying); thirdly, innumerable couples hold photo sessions after their wedding near the pier... which is either endearing or annoying depending on your point of view!

We spent more than 4 hours there, my daughter wanted to stay longer but we have to go to the next museum. She has great fun and the mom can rest comfortably there as well. You can bring your own snacks but they also have small kiosk where you can drink or eat small snacks. For very small kids can also enjoy, there are something really like normal playground for instance slide. Or some experiments with lego. Some experiments are really educational, like drinking car in normal and drunk mode, so children can learn after alcohol should not drive. Smoking will damage the lung; water is very important for human body....All are very educational. I recommend you must go there with your kids. We went to the science center in Warsaw, they both have something similar. This one is smaller and cheaper. You don’t have to book ticket in advance. It is just 2 mins away from SKM station.

Large shopping center located approx. 500 - 700 mtr from the City Hall with tens of shops, cinema and excellent bars / restaurants where you can really enjoy good food with family and charge your batteries for further shopping. The place is very clean, safe and well maintained. There is a huge 3 level car park under the mall (on the right side) and conventional on the left side and outside as well. Tip: try to use the right one instead of the left which is always very busy because of Auchan supermarket located above. I would also not suggest to use car park outside if you bought a lot of things (long distance to walk).

The mission of the Emigration Museum in Poland is to recount the fates of millions of both anonymous and famous people - whose names emerge in the context of great achievementsin science, sports, business, and the arts. It is the ambition of this institution to make them known to Poles at home, but it is also to encourage our compatriots living at home and abroad to get to know each other. Through educational and cultural projects, the museum hopes to become a place of encounter and discussion. We feel we fulfill a particular duty in achieving this end at the best possible address - Polska Street No. 1.

Gdynia is a nice city on the Baltic coast. Be sure to look at Destroyer Blyskawica . But what you really need to see is that Akwarium Gdynskie . An excellent and instructive place full of life information in the seas.
