Gdansk, Sopot and Gdynia in one day (private Tricity tour)

 

Last update – March 2024

If you are coming to Poland via a Cruise ship, why not visit 3 cities in one day!

Gdansk, Sopot and Gdynia are popularly known as the Tricity. Even though they have much in common they are very different. Gdansk is an old Hanseatic league city – and now capital of the Pomeranian Region. Sopot is a much younger and popular spa city. It is beloved by young people because of its easy-going attitude and large numbers of discos and bars. The youngest member of Tricity is Gdynia as it was only born in 1926, when the Polish government, unable to use the Gdansk port dominated by Germans, decided to build a new port in the location of this small fishing village.
