My favourite city on the Baltic Sea in Poland. I love especially Orłowo and Kamienna Góra in Gdynia. Enjoy your stay in northern Poland. You should visit both the Hel Peninsula and the Moving/Travelling Dunes near Łeba in the Słowiński National Park (+Czołpino Lighthouse). Both are unique in the world and really worth visiting even if you had to move from your track/route. Warmest wishes and greetings from the Hel Peninsula, Gosia 🙂🧡💙💜

@5:05 Oh man, this is a legendary destroyer from WW2! The ship fought in Norwegian waters and battled U-boats in the English Channel, Atlantic and Mediterranean. She became famous for saving the English town of East Cowes, which she single-handedly covered with anti-aircraft fire against a powerful German air raid. She also masked that town by laying a smoke screen. East Cowes still honors this event today. A true legend!

BTW Cowes was her home town, cause she was build there 😄

Actually ORP Błyskawica is something like a National war hero. The ship is decorated (as the only polish ship) by gold cross of Virtuti Militari, which is the most important polish military order. She Defended the city of Cowes, rescued sailors from destroyed alied ships, hunted for Uboats, escorted transport ships and fought during landing in Normandia. It was also one of the best and the most modern destroyers in the latw 30'. Great patch of history

As Robert said, Blyskawica was built on the Isle of Wight, she was evacuated to the UK before the German attack in Danzig(Gdansk), the Polish knew what was coming, she served with the Royal Navy for the entire war and was being refitted at Cowes on the Isle of Wight when the Luftwaffe attacked, She defended the Island, sent sailors ashore to fight fires and was given the freedom of the city. Gdynia has a lot more history than you realise, My partner is from there and even she is amazed at the things I tell her, During the years before Glasnost, The history taught to the local people was pro russian. Gdynia was known in Germany as Gotenhafen, Bismarck and Prinz Eugen sailed from there on their attempted break out to the Atlantic. Also visit Hel, That's an eye opener, they withstood the German attack for a month before surrendering. The Germans took the guns from Hel and installed them on the Atlantic wall in France....I'll shut up now, The Tri-Cities are full of history and hardly anyone knows it

Greetings from Polish guy living in The Netherlands but grew up in Gdynia :)

You pronounced Gdynia without "g" which mean dynia (pumpkin) in polish

Also Gdynia May be younger than Gdańsk and Sopot BUT believe me, Gdynia speedruned hole history of port cities. It was greates and the most modern sea port on this side of Bałtyk in the midwar period, and they build it in just a few years. The hole modern city from very little Fisher Village. Actually the history of Second polish Republic Navy and the rise of City of Gdynia is also very interesting.

wow Gdynia looks so sunny and beautiful.

Danzig gibt es für mich am seltesten - die Stadt ist mir viel zu "deutsch" - d.h. zu viel rote, lanweilige, schwere Mauer. Ausser ein paar Strassen in der Altstadt gibt es dort nichts was ich vermissen konnte. Ich fahre aber gern nach Gdańsk-Oliva, da gibt es noch schöne Strassen mit den Häusern (aus dem 19 Jhd), die auch noch in Zoppot stehen.

9:47 - That's Bulwar Nadmorski (southern one). Kamienna Góra (roughly 'Stone Mountain') is a hill which is just at the beginning of Bulwar. It has this large cross at the top (you can ride this elevator to get on top). Technically we would never call Bulwar part of the Kamienna Góra. There is also a northern bulwar, but you need to go around the port to Oksywie. It's a nice place though, less crowded. And you can go till the bulwar end to see some really wild beaches. And a leftover from war - a german torpedo R&D facility several hundred feet off the beach. As I recall this one was built for Luftwaffe, so possibly an air dropped variants. There was also a second facility for Kriegsmarine, which is in better shape and still in use by the Navy at Oksywie.

Plus cliff, forest, fishermen’s boats, wooden pier, park, etc. Something left for the next time, ideally off-season 😉

Naomi, if you are interested in architecture, you should go deeper in the city center, there you can experience the architecture that is the pearl in the necklace of Polish modernism of the 1930s. Old towns, such as in Gdańsk - can be seen in many other cities in Poland, but also in entire Europe. From the point of view of an architectural adventure, Gdynia's modernism is unique on such a scale.

nice video thank you

I used to go to Gdynia a few times a year lots of time ago and it was not so commercialized. There were no shops in the promenade and just one bar with beer, fish and chips on the beach. No modern office buildings by the sea. I wouldn't like it so much nowadays I think. It was wilder before. It's a pity the weather was not so good, it's unpredictable in Poland, especially in the mountains and by the sea.

You should visit the interior of ORP Błyskawica. It is perfectly preserved.

10:00 this place is called bulwar nadmorski im. Feliksa Nowowiejskiego (the seaside boulevard named after feliks nowowiejski) and it is located not only in Kamienna góra but in Śródmieście too. Kamienna góra is a small district in gdynia like Orłowo or Śródmieście.

Gdynia is a modern city built from the scratch in 1920's. There is not much of any history or architecture there before 1920. However there is plenty after and what's amazing about this city is - Poland built it within few years after independence post WW1. Young Polish state, which desperately needed access to the Baltic sea trade and shipyard facilities, had limited access to Gdańsk facilities, which was ruled under German control at that time (or rather Gdańsk was free city state) . That's why decision to built own port facilities next to Gdańsk but within independent polish territorial access to Baltic sea was made and Gdynia was formed. Looking at the map in 1919 will explain more probably....

Well, Błyskawica does not have Gatlings, but I believe it does have Bofors for main artillery and anti-aircraft guns.

In Gdańsk, it is easy to get to the Brzezno Beach. Tram and bus.

When you finish visiting Poland, I suggest you then target the Czech Republic or Hungary. As a last resort, Romania and Transylvania. Central and Eastern Europe has its own micro-cultural climate.

As for me all parts of the Tricity are very specific and different: Gdańsk is an ancient town with a lot of history; Sopot is typical sea resort and nothing else; Gdynia has been build as an harbour city in interwar period. Being a whim of history and current political situation Gdynia has a very special place in Polish hearts. Just imagine, the place had been transformed from a tiny fisherman's village to the one one of most important cities in Poland with top notch harbour in about one decade! Many Poles came to Gdynia in 1920's and 1930's to make their dream come true.

Stay longer at Polish seashore guys, beach weather is coming back with African temperature. BTW, "G" must be firmly pronounced in front of both city names Gdynia and Gdańsk.

Aquarium GDYNIA? Muzeum Marynarki Wojennej GDYNIA?

You confused Kamienna Gora with the seaside boulevard, which you were walking along by the sea. From Kamina Góra there is a panorama of the Gdynia port and Kościuszko Square. ORP Błyskawica is the only ship of this class (destroyer) in the world preserved to this day. If you like history, it's a pity you didn't go a few hundred meters further to the Orłowo cliff. There are coastal batteries from the Cold War. You could also visit the Gdynia-Babie Doły district and see the historic former German Torpedo House from World War II.

03:40 It so happens, that one of the books written by the former (pre-war) chief officer of Dar Pomorza, Capt. Karol Olgierd Borchardt has recently become available in English translation. The English title is "I mean, said the sea captain", which is maybe not quite exact equivalent of the original title "Znaczy Kapitan". In Poland this book has a "cult" status and very rightly so, as this is one of the most beautiful books that I have ever read and many people share this opinion. It is light, humorous and easy to read, but there is much more to it than just pure entertainment. I sincerely recommend it, it's available from Amazon and other sources.

The biggest attraction of Sopot is that it connects Gdańsk and Gdynia xD

Well, the weather should be good in Poland in July as it is along the dreary Lake Erie in the USA ( grew up near it and lived 6 blocks from it for about 5 years) and in some places in Ireland. I am sure that all three have great beaches for July, just don't go to these beaches in late January. That is the catch for people who live in northern climates worldwide; they want to go to the beach in January too and have the weather to enjoy it. It is not that the beaches are any better but the weather is better somewhere down south.
