Mariacka Street is a small street in Old Town Gdańsk bordered by the Mariacka Gate on one end and St Mary's Church on the other. It’s a narrow cobblestone street lined with three story townhouses. The houses have terraces one level above street level with ornate stone sculptures, wood carvings and decorative ironwork. There are showcases on the street level fronting many of the townhouses which were empty at the time of our visit. We found out later that Mariacka Street houses numerous jewelry shops selling amber jewelry. The showcases would normally be full of amber jewelry. There are also a few restaurants and cafes on the street. The street is charming and worth a visit.

Great place to sit back and enjoy some good food and mulled wine and watch the world go buy. Lots of bars and restaurants and some playing live music. A beautiful part of the city and not to be missed.

This church originally was built in the second half of 14th century and it has castle-like appearance. It is a good example of Warmia Gothic architecture . It is located just a short walk from the old square.The beautiful interior includes Gothic, late-Renaissance, and Baroque art elements. The bronze 2000 door is the new addition and complements the much older character of the church. This beautiful house of worship features often organ concerts but the easiest way to hear it is during the mass. Masses take place here daily several times a day.

Being in Sopot near the Pier is worth going to the Lighthouse. When in 1975 the hospital boiler room was modernized, the very onerous smoking chimney has become redundant. It was rebuilt and a light source was placed on it and it became a lighthouse. One of the tallest buildings in Sopot, blends in nicely with the panorama of the city. At the entrance we are greeted by a very nice man and then the stairs begin . The stairs are very cool and there are a lot of them, after which we get to the top of the tower from which you can enjoy beautiful views. A nice tourist attraction. The ticket is not expensive and it is really worth seeing the beautiful panorama of Sopot.After getting down, you get a certificate of getting the Lighthouse. I highly recommend.

The Water Tower is closed until April. It was built in 1900 entirely of red unplastered bricks in the neo-gothic style with interesting external vaulting around its crown and two coats of arms over the entrance: one Mazurian and one municipal to emphasise its being part of the region. The water reservoir in the tower distributed water to all the dwellings for 97 years. Nowadays, following the great reconstruction of the interior and adding a dome and three additional floors and extending the viewing platform with telescopes, the tower has become Giżycko’s most unique tourist attraction. To reach the top, one has to climb 129 steps (or use the lift). The highest floor of the tower is 162 m above sea level and it houses a café. From this height, one can truly appreciate the panorama of the town and the surrounding areas with lakes and forests – a typical Mazurian landscape. The inside the tower houses the local museum with exhibits that illustrate the past life of the local people.

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!

There are a few ways to book this boat ride and there are different lengths of time in the boat. The most popular one is the 4.5 hour ride which to us seemed like really long time on the boat so instead of taking the boat in Elblag, we drove 30 minutes to Pochylnia Buczyniec from where you can take other shorter options AND also you can also simply see the hydraulic system working without having to ride the boat. If you go to Pochylnia Buczyniec as we did come prepared since there are no restaurants but only a couple of food trucks with ice cream and beers and snacks so come with a full belly. When making the research for this trip we tried booking though their website and the info was not really clear so we decided to drive and see for ourselves...for example on the web page there were no more spaces available for the ride from Elblag but when we walked into their office they simply offered tickets to the next boat ride...so it could be possible to come without booking. To be fair we came right before the start of the season so for sure there were fewer people than normal. In any case I fully recommend!

Honestly speaking, one of the nicest places I have been and something you will not find elsewhere in the world so easily. You will feel like you are in the desert (without the hot temperature) and it is one of the top nature places we have been (we travelled also in Asia, Australia, USA and South America).
