Gdansk is back! The Baltic's golden oldie has a new spring in its step, and what's more, her two brothers Sopot and
Gdynia are making sure that Poland's coastline has more than one ace up its sleeve. If you're curious about branching off from the Prague - Krakow - Budapest route, then the Tri-City has much to offer the traveller. Known historically as the powderkeg whose spark (lit by Hitler) ignited the Second World War, it was also in Gdansk where the flame that signalled the collapse of communism was raised (by native son, Lech Walesa). Shedding the stigma that the city is little more than a bunch of battered cranes in a dingy shipyard, Gdansk's Old Town has been scrubbed clean, shined up, and stocked full of hotels, restaurants, cafes, clubs, bars and amber shops amidst the picturesque Burgher houses that line its streets. 
Beyond Gdansk's Old Town, a gamut of wonderful destinations await travellers: the suburb of Oliwa hosts numerous parks, a zoo, and a spectacular cathedral en route to the hedonistic atmosphere of Sopot's beaches and nightlife. Venture into Gdynia and you'll find some of the area's finest restaurants, a number of lively bars and more beautiful coastline. But don't stop there. Daytrips to immaculate Malbork Castle, the dunes of Leba and the hot sands of Hel are mandatory stop-offs for those with a little more time on their hands.
Whether you're booked to travel or you're already in the Tri-City, Gdansk Life is here to help you make the very best of your stay. We look forward to passing on all the best information and advice about Gdansk, Sopot and Gdynia with our guides to accommodation, entertainment, drinking and dining, as well as tips on culture and travel, the latest news and events and a fully interactive map.
