Pomerania Region History

Gdynia doesn't have the history or tourist attractions of Gdansk and comes off rather as a no-nonsense place with the amenities of a port city of roughly 250,000 people. However Gdynia usually offers less expensive accommodation than what you'd find in Gdansk and can still be worth a visit if you're interested in naval history as there are two museum-ships (one is a converted destroyer from WWII, the other is a training vessel from before WWI). For transportation, it is well-connected to other Polish cities via buses and trains and there are several daily express / intercity trains that begin their routes in Gdynia and end them in Krakow via Warszawa. Within the Tri-Cities, Gdynia is at the northern end of a commuter railway service (SKM). A ride from Gdynia to Gdansk via SKM takes about 25 minutes and trains run approximately every 20 minutes daily.

My hometown...The home of Solidarity. The place is full of history. The old town is really nice, loads of pubs and restaurants. If u visit Gdansk in the summer or late spring, go to the zoo! It's amazing and very picturesque.
ps. Fahrenheit was also born in Gdansk. THIS Fahrenheit.

If you are here, you have to go to Maszoperia fish restaurant. The selection of fish there is good and the taste is excellent.
The building itself was the meeting place for the fishermen council ('Maszoperia') since the 19th century. The whole idea and history of the fishermen council in Hel is neatly outlined in the menu.

Great city with plenty of history and historical monuments to see...restaurants and cafes ...and of course alot of boutiques ....all for a very good price just for you...

What you definetly have to see is the " Ordensburg Marienburg" !  This is one of Europe's biggest castles and it is in a nice condition!  Has a long history (builded before 1300) and is open daily (except not all Mondays)
