Modernist architecture, a lively seafront and one of Poland’s principal passenger-ferry links to Sweden
Gdynia is the youngest of the three main Tricity centres and feels very different from historic Gdańsk. Its broad avenues, white modernist buildings and seafront grew rapidly with Poland’s interwar maritime ambitions.
Kościuszki Square and the South Pier form the visitor heart of the city, with museum ships, the aquarium, marinas and easy access to the seaside boulevard.
Further south, Orłowo combines a wooden pier, fishing boats and the distinctive cliff, while Kamienna Góra gives an elevated view over the centre and harbour.
The Emigration Museum, housed in the former Marine Station, adds an important historical dimension by telling the story of Polish migration through a building directly connected with the port.
For ferry travellers, Stena Line operates the established Gdynia–Karlskrona route with day and overnight departures, making the city one of Poland’s most useful passenger gateways to Sweden.
