Although she has something to brag to an inquisitive and inquisitive tourist. Although in terms of age Gdynia can compete even with ancient Gdansk (the first mention of a fishing settlement dates back to 1253), it does not differ in special antiquities. Why, here, even most of the museums in one way or another tell about the sea. Today's Gdynia in Poland with its sights is a real Baltic pearl, attracting the traveler with many cozy bars, architectural monuments of stylish modernism and a thick, rich smell of the sea, which seems to permeate every pebble of the pavement here. In addition to major infrastructure projects, the city is actively developing trade, entertainment and cultural activities. Today, the Gdynia window to the world is opening wider and wider. During the Nazi occupation, the port and shipyards were destroyed, although residential buildings were preserved, many residents had to leave the city due to the cruelty of the occupation regime.Īfter the war, the city was rebuilt, and thanks to the active participation of its inhabitants in the protest movements of the 1980s, it received a new round of development - large funds were invested in infrastructure, the construction of new roads and residential areas. The architectural appearance of the city changed dramatically in the productive years of the 1920s - residential mansions grew up next to the port enterprises, and cathedral spiers rose between them. It had its own mill, a rice cleaning plant and an elevator. The advantage that distinguished the town even from neighboring Gdansk was the presence of enterprises that “on the spot” processed products that flowed to Gdynia from all Polish provinces. In a few months, shipyards and berths were built, and the deepened bottom made it possible to receive even the largest military and merchant ships. ![]() But in 1935, France came to the rescue, betting that an economically powerful Poland would be able to adequately compete with Nazi Germany in Europe. Unfortunately, the global economic crisis slowed down the work - the young state, surrounded on all sides by ill-wishers, was not up to the port. The initiator of this project was the Polish architect and engineer Tadeusz Wenda, who had no doubt that the lowland, located between Gdansk and Gdynia, protected from strong winds and with great depths near the coast, is the best suited for the construction of a port that can become a worthy competitor to Gdansk. The impetus that breathed new life into the modest fishing village was the construction of a port in Gdynia. The main occupation of the inhabitants was fishing and farming until Poland gained independence in 1920. Such, gray and unremarkable among hundreds of similar stories, was the initial history of Gdynia - a small fishing village in the outskirts of Gdansk. And fishing villages stretched to the ports. The coast was slowly overgrown with ports, among which Gdansk became a real hulk. After the Union of Lublin and the formation of the Commonwealth, active Polish colonization of the Baltic began. Prior to that, the aggressive Teutonic Order, conquered by the Polish kings in the middle of the 15th century, ruled in the Baltic states. Once a deserted and cold place with the sea, swamps, swamps and the cries of lone seagulls, it gained key importance in the 16th century, when the then Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth took over the reins of the European wheat trade. The Baltic coast has not always been for Poland what it is today. And the clearest example of this is Gdynia. If you wake up an intellectual and aesthete-modernist in yourself, you can see an innumerable amount of beauties in the vicinity of the Tricity. Tourists often visit the Baltics on a residual basis, limiting themselves to visiting Gdansk - and completely in vain. ![]() From central Sopot, you can see both the Gdansk Westerplatte and the roofs of the houses of Gdynia. Today, as in ancient times, all these 3 cities are a single agglomeration, all parts of which are interconnected by trains, tram lines and bus routes. But if we compare the second with the luxurious Scythian pectoral, then the first is rather a small pendant with three pearl beads - Gdansk, Sopot and Gdynia, the main of which is Sopot. This is something like the Russian Golden Ring. In the apartment: a grocery store, restaurant, pizzeria, pharmacy.One of the most popular tourist routes today is the famous Polish Tricity. And the side of the road we have already Seaside Boulevard, Beach, Music Theatre, Kosciuszko Square with Oceanarium, ship Lightning, Gemini Centre with a multiplex cinema and many other attractions. It is located about 400 meters from the main railway station Gdynia Osobowa. ![]()
