Sopot Travel Guide | Day Trip from Gdansk, Poland
Come join us for our Sopot travel guide as we take a day trip from Gdansk to visit this popular seaside resort town located on the southern coast of the Baltic Sea in Eastern Pomerania of northern Poland.
Although many come to stay overnight in hotels, doing a day-trip from a nearby city such as Gdańsk might be your best best considering Sopot (Zoppot) is a little pricey in terms of restaurants and accommodations.
How can you spend the perfect day visiting Sopot? Our recommendation would be to to walk along the Sopot pier (Molo w Sopocie), take a boat ride (Pirate ship) and then enjoy hanging out around the main square and market while spending plenty of time at the beach in between ice creams and a leisurely lunch.

Sopot Travel Guide | Day Trip from Gdansk, Poland travel video transcript:
Today we’re taking you on a day trip to Sopot, a town whose name we hadn’t heard before visiting Gdańsk. Sopot is a beautiful seaside town that sits on the shores of the Baltic Sea, and it proved to be the perfect little day trip. Come join us as we explore the town, take a boat tour of the harbour, and find out what makes this destination a summer hotspot.
Tickets in hand. That was super easy. We got our tickets they were only 3.80 Zloty. Uh-huh. Yeah. That is less than a Euro so we are not spending much to get there. Ready for our day trip and our train is pulling into the station right now.
We have made it to Sopot. And I think the main attraction here it the pier. Uh huh. Isn't it the largest in Northern Europe? The largest wooden pier in all of Europe. That is the main thing we're going to do here.
So we made it to the pier and we actually had to buy tickets. You have to pay to go walk on the pier which I didn't realize you had to do. So it is 8 Zloty per person. Got our tickets.
At 511.5 meters, this is the longest wooden pier in all of Europe, and it’s the one attraction you can’t miss when you visit Sopot.
And look here. There are swans at the beach.
It is a beautiful beach day, the sun is out, blue skies and we can hear seagulls squawking off in the distance. It is just nice to be at the beach oh my gosh. I can't remember the last time I went to the beach.
Alright, update from Sopot. We came here thinking maybe we'll spend a couple of hours or maybe half a day but we are really liking it here. Really liking it. This is going to be a full day excursion. Yeah, so instead of just putting this in the Gdansk city guide this is going to be its own vlog. Own vlog. Well as you would know already because you would be watching the vlog but anyways we made a decision at this moment just so you know. We like it.
So Sam found us a Pirate Ship. A proper pirate boat.
That means we are ready to set sails. So we made it on the boat like barely. It was leaving within five minutes from us buying the tickets.
And how much was it? Was it thirty five Zloty?
So today is a really nice day to be out on the water. The waters are so calm it looks like glass.
Now we're going to explore a little bit more of the pier. And we've heard rumors of fish pierogi and we're hungry.
The restaurant we had read about online doesn't have fish pierogies. We found it but they don't have it on the menu so maybe they used to at one point but they don't right now.
The good news is that they do have baked pierogi and we've been wanting to try those for a while so we've ordered a whole bunch of like savory ones and sweet ones and we also have soup coming and salad. So it is going to be a really good meal.
So we somehow stumbled on a bodybuilding competition. And everyone looks super tan. Now let's check out the market.
As you may have noticed there are more people sunbathing than there were people swimming and that is because the baltic sea is refreshing.
That was a very busy outing and I think the verdict is we both loved Sopot.
This is part of our Travel in Poland video series showcasing Polish food, Polish culture and Polish cuisine.

Informacje ze strony:
Żuraw w Gdańsku to zabytkowy, najstarszy zachowany w Europie dźwig portowy. Jego budowa trwała dwa lata od 1442 - 1444 roku. Stworzone zostały dwie ceglane baszty, natomiast pomiędzy nimi umieszczony został drewniany mechanizm dźwigu. Gdański Żuraw spełniał rozmaite funkcje. Podstawową, do której został stworzony była funkcja przeładunku towaru – głównie piwa, do jego zadań należało również stawianie żagli. Oprócz tego wykorzystywany był jako fortyfikacja obronna oraz brama miejska.
Dziś Żuraw jest oddziałem Narodowego Muzeum Morskiego, które udostępnia dla zwiedzających w obiekcie wystawę, obrazującą życie miasta portowego w czasie jego największego rozkwitu (XVI – XVIII w.). W tamtym czasie Gdańsk nosił miano spichlerza Europy i był portem najdynamiczniej rozwijającym się na morzu Bałtyckim.

2012 Sopot
Sopot is a city in Poland next to Gdansk and is a very big tourist place on the Baltic Sea
Pier Panorama of Gdansk Bay
This is a short film clip I took on May 28, 2007 while on vacation in Poland. It's a panoramic shot I took of the gloriously beautiful scenery and surroundings that day after tiny showers that gave the most awe inspiring skyline. In addition, the pier on which it was took, as you can make out, extends further into the sea, because it is the longest wooden pier in Europe. If you'd like to go see it, it is in the Tricity area of Pomorenian Poland near the Baltic sea. It is specifically in the city of Sopot.

Gdańsk alternate spellings (German: Danzig - Latin: Gedania)
Our visit Gdańsk travel guide documentary covers some of the top attractions including a food guide, top sightseeing tourist attractions and the city by day including visiting castles, churches and museums. We also cover off-the-beaten-path outdoor activities you won't find in a typical Gdańsk tourism brochure, Gdańsk itinerary or Gdańsk, Poland city tour.
10 Things to do in Gdańsk, Poland Travel Guide script:
After visiting the Basilica, we walked over to the main pedestrian street in Gdansk: Dluga, also known as Long Street. Unlike most Polish cities, Gdansk doesn’t have a main square, but this stretch of road acts as the equivalent with lots of vendors and performers along the way.
On the west end of Dluga (Dooga) we came across the Amber Museum, which sounded a little unusual, so we bought tickets and went up. Here we learned the history of Amber trade in the Baltic, and we also discovered that the tower that now houses the museum, was once a prison and torture chamber.
Not done with museums just yet, our next stop was the Historical Museum of the City of Gdansk. I think we spent more time staring at the ornate doorways, ceilings and staircases, than we did at the exhibit itself!
Here, we also saw the Medieval Crane, which was first mentioned in texts in 1367, and was at one point the biggest working crane in the world.
Next, it was all aboard the SS Sołdek, a Polish coal and ore freighter which is now a ship-museum.
And since we’re on the topic of food, we need to show you a milk bar we really enjoyed.
On our last day in Gdansk, we walked over to the European Solidarity Centre, which is about a 15-20 minute walk from the Old Town. The museum tells the story of Solidarity, a Polish trade union and civil resistance movement, founded in 1980 at the Lenin Shipyard. This was the first union not controlled by the communist party, and it’s a fascinating museum to learn a bit more about the history.
And that’s a wrap for our Gdansk travel guide. We hope you guys enjoyed this video and that it gave you a few ideas of things to do in Gdansk on you visit. You know the drill, if you have any other tips or suggestions to share with travellers, feel free to pop those in the comments section below. Happy travels and until next time!
