Begin at Skwer Kościuszki, the city’s lively waterfront promenade, where your guide introduces the story of Gdynia’s rapid rise as Poland’s modern port city. Walk toward Molo Południowe, home to two legendary vessels. First, step aboard ORP Błyskawica, the world’s oldest preserved destroyer still afloat. Explore its decks, crew quarters, and weaponry while learning about its heroic service during World War II and its symbolic role in Polish naval history. Next, board the elegant sailing frigate Dar Pomorza, known as the “White Lady.” Wander through its cabins, engine room, and officer quarters as your guide shares stories of its global training voyages and the generations of sailors who learned their craft on this iconic ship. After your maritime adventure, continue to the Kamienna Góra viewpoint, accessible on foot or by a short funicular ride. From the top, enjoy one of the most impressive panoramas on the Baltic coast, overlooking the marina, port, and Gdynia’s modern skyline. Descend into the city center and walk along Świętojańska Street, the showcase of Gdynia’s 1930s modernist architecture. Your guide highlights the clean lines, geometric forms, and nautical inspirations that make Gdynia one of Europe’s best-preserved modernist cities. The tour concludes at the Basilica of Our Lady Queen of Poland, a distinctive church blending traditional and modern elements. Step inside to admire its peaceful interior and learn about its importance to the local community.
