Gdynia



A tour to the party centre of the Tricity, Sopot. The town with the most expensive houses in Poland, a popular holiday and party destination for Polish celebrities.

Sopot Walking Tour: Explore the nightlife and historic landmarks of Poland's smallest Tricity town.

Sopot is located between historic Gdańsk and industrial Gdynia, serving as the nightlife hub of the Tricity area. Once a spa town with elegant 19th-century mansions and cafes, it now blends old charm with modern culture along the 600-metre Bohaterów Monte Cassino Street, known as Monciak. This promenade hosts sophisticated restaurants, clubs, and classic cafes, ending at the world’s longest wooden pier.

The city also offers rich history and notable architecture. The Grand Hotel hosted Adolf Hitler before World War II and Charles de Gaulle after the war. Our guided tour includes famous sites such as the Crooked House (Krzywy Domek), the fountain of Johnny the Fisherman, and the Monument to Corporal Wojtek the Bear.
