Greetings!
I continue the cycle of travel reviews on Polish cities and water. Last time I said about historical frekter , and today I will show all the wishing to the popular European seaside resort On the Baltic Coast - city of Sopot.
This name is often able to hear in conjunction with two other cities located in the north of Poland - Gdansk and Gdyney. Why?
Sopot is located between Gdansk and Gdynia, forming agglomeration with them Truilyoye (Triple City, threeGradier)which is actually a single city with a total population of about a million people (whereas in the sopoto lives about forty thousand).
Note for moderators - the collage is made up of the personally made photos and google maps followed by processing in a graphic editor.
In Poland, we are moving around by the spouse by car, as we live near the Russian-Polish border - from the place of our habitat to Sopot 180 km. As it turned out, three-grade is quite really defining for the weekend. First we got to it far Point - Gdynia, in the vicinity of which they spent over, and then, returning, visited at Sopot, and then - and in Gdansk. Previously, I also had to visit these cities, but individually, and this time it was possible to fold a full picture - "three in one".
Sopot - most small city From agglomeration, but looks like a toy: Neat streets, lovingly planted flower beds, fountains ... Everything is done in order to please the eye of both an ordinary resident and a terrible traveler.
In such a bright sunny day, everything looks particularly elegant, the mood in humans - raised-holiday. There are many places for parking, but those who want to leave their "wheels" - even more, so I had to twist to find something.
it main Square Cities from which pedestrian street begins:
Breaking through the tight flow of tourists, I barely could make a couple of frames. Pedestrian zone Pestrit with cute houses and ends with an old church (in Poland it is difficult to find a place where there is no one recovered (and at the same time in force!) Historical religious construction):
The funstone object on a pedestrian street with which everyone is being photographed is the "Krivoy Domek" (Krzywy Domek)
.
Looking at him it seems that your own eyes go to dance. Because of the abundance of tourists, I could not catch a respondant frame, so I show a photo of more than a decade ago - I made it in one of my past visits to the city and carefully stored in the photo album all this time:
All this is good, but what is really famous for Sopot? Why do tourists go there so persistently, even if one day? The fact is that...
Sopot is the longest wooden sea mole in Europe. Its length is 515.5 meters.
Actually, Sopot is visited in order to stroll through this famous, far outstanding in the sea of \u200b\u200bPierce. It is he who is the main attraction of the city and attracts like a magnet. We did not exception and also reached out to the mall. In his anticipation, by the way, it also has something to rejoice - the area with fountain and beautiful turrets will like everyone:
There are a lot of those who want to get on the pier, so in the season (from the end of April to September) the entrance to it becomes paid. A ticket for one adult is 8 zł (about 140 rubles).
Scanning tickets, finally get on a wide lighter. The spectacle is large-scale! Alonging, endless wood shops are stretching, covered with flawless white paint:
The pier opens a particularly picturesque view of the Baltic coast. In the dwelling day, visibility is excellent, and in the distance you can see many ships and yachts, furrowing watering. Their festive species creates a holiday mood, and begins to seem that you are not in Poland, but somewhere closer to the south, on the Mediterranean:
From the mall is also clearly visible strip of the city beach. Despite the fact that our walk in Sopot came to mid-May, it was very hot as in the summer, and many hurried to soak on the sand.
It is a pity that the water was just in the flowering stage, so it looked not the best way - solid yellow-green algae. None of the town residents did not risk not only for this reason, but also because the Baltic Sea at this time of the year is still very cold (with favorable weather conditions It warms only by July-August).
The path to the end of the mall and the truth is not free, because it is made up more than half a kilometer. Under the scorching sun, it is not so easy to do it. But on the edge, you can purchase a ticket for a walking ship (about 20-30 zł) ... and it is especially nice to look like ships go away in the open blue sea ... at such moments I understand that I live in vain in the Baltic, and I could not leave far from the "big water" - I just need to be able to be able to come to the sea, think, dream. Our union with him, like a marriage: and in the mountain, and in joy.
Always alive from the scorching sun, a long pier and endless tourists, we went on. The next stop will be Gdansk, about which I will tell a little later. Well, Sopot, perhaps, I can call the most "relaxing" city in threeGradier, which is obligatory to visit during the journey through the northern part of Poland. I sincerely advise (but not in season). Moreover, it will not require a lot of time, but I will definitely give you positive emotions.
Thank you for attention!
****************** Thank you for looking at me!
I am glad to each of you ******************************
Yours faithfully, Catherine.
What does the city of Sopot in August look like in the midst tourist season And all the sights that managed to find in it.
August - most expensive time For rest at sea resorts and my format budget travel It does not match, but the official vacation of the Teacher July-August from the calendar will not throw out. Therefore, I had to get out and the choice fell on the coast of the Cold Baltic Sea, while the majority rides somewhere south.
To save, you had to apply all the tricks for budget travels and still see the summer of the sea albeit Baltic.
How to get to the city of Sopot
- You can sit on 122 bus passing through Sopot and give only 4PLN or from 30 €.
- Gdansk and Gdynia: SKM trains from Gdansk and Gdynia for 4.2PLN with departure every 5-10 minutes.
Where to stay in Sopot
- Improvement and SPA: If your goal is rehabilitation, then book a room is necessary in one of 17 on therapeutic water from the source of St. Wojca.
- Hotels: For searching ordinary hotels It is better to use RoomGuru which will compare prices and find an offer without overpayment. Also add coupons and Cashback to this that will save you 10-20%.
- Apartments: When the goal is only a holiday, then to save the season in the peak of the season it is worth seeing apartments on in neighboring cities and. To go to them only 15 minutes by train. My choice was in August.
Arriving to the city of Sopot Many overlook the main stop Sopot and go along the central street of the Heroes Monte Cassino (Bohaterów Monte Cassino) to the jetty, where walk and return back or sunbathe on the near beach.
I will tell you how to do more correctly, so that I would not cut the circles on the beach Sopot. To do this, it is necessary to go to Sopot Kamienny Potok. If you go from Gdynia, it is one stop before Sopot, and if from Gdansk, then on the next station after Sopot.
Such a move makes it possible to avoid the hook in 2-3km and see much more interesting, as it comes from the center of Sopot here, few people reaches.
Aquapark
The first for what is worth going to the Sopot Kamienny Potok stop is a water park, which is just 500 meters away from the station. Zamkowa Gora 3-5 address, work time 8-22, cost of 1st hour from 20pln for adults and from 15PLN for children. Aquapark has a hotel with a fitness center.
In the water park, I never went and compare me with nothing with what to express my opinion, so I will give a photo that I did in the lobby through the glass.
After the water park you can go to the choice Northern Park (Park Polnocny) or immediately go to the sea. We attempted to go through the park, but as it turned out it was more intended for the bikerogulok and on the first congress turned to the sea.
Before entering the sea after solid cycleheads, there was something pleasant in this park. It turned out to be a chapel dedicated to Xendse Tadeusch Kabala, who died in 2009 at the age of 92 and has devoted all his life to the local parish, which he himself built or actively participated in its construction.
Beach Stone Mountain
After the chapels we go to the sea. Along the beach, which in the next photo, will move towards the center of Sopot it is about 2km.
Be sure to turn back, here will be the most interesting place It seems to me in Sopot or even on the whole coast of Gdansk-Sopot-Gdynia.
I might think of a delighted beach with beaches in the form of a bungalow, but it is not. The beach is located next to the same little molting Kamienny Potok, this is a raisin.
The charm of this little mall is difficult to convey, but I will try to describe words. There is no crowd of tourists as on the main Mall of Sopot, which we will see a little later. Here you can sit down and almost in silence to breathe legs and wait for the next wave unexpectedly to them getting up and make it pleasant to flush from the cold baltic, all this complement the cries of the chap. Nearly perfect placeTo sit down and look at the sea in anticipation of your warming with almy sails.
And here and Gray swims, but he is omitted by Sails, apparently did not notice me or was scared of responsibility.
This photo is already more fun and to honestly sit in this posture much more convenient than in the previous one.
I also promised seagulls. If they are difficult to consider in previous photos, then they are closer to the waves and run along the shore.
I have already told about the features of the Baltic Beaches in the article about Gdynia, but I repeat. When you go to sunbathe to the Baltic Sea, then you must take someburning facility with you, otherwise when the sun is sharply changed by the cold wind very quickly wants to escape from the beach or wrap something unproduced.
An example of wind barriers.
An example of those who did not take with them such a barrier.
Beach Sopot
Somewhere in the middle between the road from the water park to the center of Sopot, there will be another little mol. Here to dream sitting will not come out, since the waves breaking about the mole can well pour with the head of cold Baltic water.
Behind this nameless mall, the buildings of the most prestigious hotels are beginning with access to the sea. The first of them.
The longest mole in Europe is already looking at the hotel.
The entrance to this mole is paid, for the time to visit the most, it turns out to pay. As I usually strangled the toad, so I will not photograph not on the mall, but under it.
Before the mall, the beaches of Sopot were at least somehow filled with people and a cafe, but after being moved from the north to south everything was empty. It was the territory of the chap.
Sights Sopot
From the mall and begin to inspect the main attractions, and they will begin as soon as I become back to the sea.
Old Mayak
On the left there will be a 30-meter old lighthouse, built in 1903. Now the function of the lighthouse is no longer performing and redone in watching Tower, rise to 4PLN for adult and 2PLN for children.
House health
The lighthouse was left, and right in the course there will be a beautiful, but mysterious building called a home health. Mysterious because besides the name and what is there tourist centre I did not find anything. There are no links or coordinates where at this address could be booking a room or somehow sign up for treatment if this is a SPA-hotel.
I suspect that it is just a building with offices and restaurants, but if anyone owns information, please add me and give a link where you can read in more detail other than information about its name.
Balneological care
A red building of a balneological hospital was hidden between the lighthouse and the home of health. Unlike the previous building there is an official website where all prices for procedures are indicated, as well as the cost of the hospital bed.
Pouring for the sake of interest The price list of this hospital was signed in the area of \u200b\u200b100 € per 1 day in the ward and 3-5 medical procedures. But all this is excluding the initial examination and drawing up a card of treatment, which will also have to pay.
When there is no money for treatment, but I really want to improve in, then you can drink a driver here from this fountain, which is in the courtyard of the hospital.
If you believe the information found, it is connected directly to the source of St. Wojca, whose waters are treated in this center, as well as in all SPA-hotels of the city. Pouring the driver you can pinch 5PLN and stroll at the mall of sopot, because at the end of the mole according to the legend, the content of iodine in the air is twice as much as on the shore. I'm sorry for the black humor, but I can not believe in two last fairy tales.
Savior Catholic Church - Kostel Spasitele
I'm not sure that this is a historic building, but since there are very few attractions in Sopot, we will consider it such. There is a church in the same place where the hospital and fountain, and all together it is the territory of the Bowiena Square.
Small Holyava can expect you in Sopot if you were here on Sunday. On Sundays, you can visit the Sopot Museum for free, but you do not recommend walking here for reviews on the network - very many disappointed.
- Museum address: KSIECIA JOZEFA PONIATOWSKIEGO 8
- Working hours: from 10 to 18 except Monday
I want to immediately warn those who are used to local lore museums, telling about the history of the place where it is. So at least this museum and wears the appropriate name, but it relates little to the history of the city. Here for the most part there are various thematic exhibitions, rather than telling about the city.
Since the history of Sopot Museum tells a little bit, retell the history of the museum building itself.
The villa was built in 1904 by the merchant Ernst Augustus Clashen. The merchant was rich and, on the description, the interior was decorated with Gdansk furniture and Dutch faience (china) from the city of Delft, where the Royal Factory of the Porcelain worked at the time. A happy family life in this house ended with the beginning of the I World War. The financial condition was undermined by the war, and after the Ernest Suicide in 1924, the family did not have anything to sell the property, and then sell the villa. After that, I changed the owners several times and in 1981 passed into the ownership of the copot, and 2001 the building was given to the Sopot Museum.
In my visit, the main thematic exhibition was devoted to jazz music or musical instruments.
The only room dedicated to Sopot is illustrations of the local beauty contest of 1956. You can evaluate the beauty of that time.
And the photo of the main contenders on the crown. The photo shows that the era of phytonishek with a tightened figure will not come soon.
Street Heroes Monte Cassino
If you did not go to the museum, you will not have to come back. Although it is not a lot of distance in 1 km, but it turns out back it turns out already 2km.
Everyone who comes to the city of Sopot will definitely involuntarily walk along the main promenade street, but in the peak of the season you will be waiting for disappointment from the walk, since you can forget about calm. There is a major movement and it seems at one moment all tourists and vacationers gathered here. Several photos of this attachment (pictures are clickable and will increase when clicking).
Curve House
I had to remember and wait for a very long time to take a picture of one of the symbols of the city - the curve house. It was built not so long ago in 2004, but managed to become a visiting card of the city. Now his images instead of mall print on all tourist booklets.
Self best photos The house will be in the fall when the foliage will fall and the trees will not interfere, and now it is difficult to get a picture as on advertising booklets when everything is shuffled with trees and remove the crowd.
In addition to the house, you can often see the sculpture of the rope truck, so do not pass by and periodically look up.
Catholic church of St. George
Almost at the very end of the street Heroes Monte Cassino will be the main city church, built in 1901. Poland is a very religious country and without a church in the center almost never costs.
Forest opera
The opera corresponds to its name and is located in the olive forest, which is from the church of 1.5 km or 20 minutes on foot. Forest opera is concert hall under open sky In which, of course, not only opera sounds, but also play modern concerts and performers, as well as festivals are held.
The entrance to the concert hall turned out to be paid 7PLN cost an adult ticket and 4PLN children and it stopped me, so only the entrance was photographed.
Hippodrome
Prior to this place gets a rare tourist and few people will be interested. It turned out that the entrance to the hippodrome is not closed and you can safely walk along it. But at first I will say how to get here - on foot to go from the city center I do not recommend it about 3km, it's easier to sit on any SKM train towards Gdansk and go out at the next stop of Gdansk Zabianka.
Sopot is small, but at the same time a fairly popular resort town of Poland, with a population of just over 40 thousand people. It is located on the coast of the Baltic Sea. This is one of the most prestigious seaside resorts of Baltic.
The city is considered "healthy" of all Poland, due to iodized sea water, therapeutic salt waters of sources and ancient bathing. Sopot is a small town. All of his attractions are very close to each other, quite turning the head. Inspection of monuments will not take you and the day, but they will all leave about themselves unforgettable impressions For long winter evenings.
The most famous attraction, both sopot and all Poland - Pierce. The longest wooden pier ( 511.5 M..) Europe was built in 1827 the initial length of the design was only 150 m., But over time it was increased by more than 300 meters. A significant part of the pier, more than 458 m., Is in the sea.
The boats and maritime taxis are moored here, the holidaymakers walk, cultural and entertainment programs, exhibitions and concerts. Pier Sopot is the name of John Paul II, who visited these places several times, and is a recognized monument of the architecture of the city.
One of the attractions of Sopot is in the list of "the most unusual houses of the world." They built his two architects - Zavsky and Schotinsky in 2004 he is located on the central street of the city.
The building contains two radio stations, shoppingals, restaurant and room with slot machines. Also inside there is a kind of "Alley of Glory", like American, only called the "Wall of Glory". All the less famous people who visited Sopot, leave their autographs on the "wall of Glory".

One of the favorite attractions of tourists Sopot is a lighthouse. With it observation deck Opening a wonderful view of the whole city. The lighthouse was built in 1904 the height of the tower reaches 30 m. It covered sea waters Up to the beginning of the Second World War.
Then the building was transferred to the urban hospital, and the lighthouse stopped functioning. In 1980 he was restored. But due to the lack of modern technical equipment, the lighthouse was decided to finally close. Now he serves as overview site For guests of the city.

The center of Sopot is the building of the Church of St. George, a few times a day, vacationers can walk. The church is crowned long, slim gothic tower with a spire. They built it in 1901. Thank you for this follows King Wilhelm II and his spouse Augustus Victoria. Until the end of the war is 1941-1945. Protestants used the building. He was then the name of the "Temple of the Savior". Now they own the Roman Catholic Church.
Location: Tadeusza Kościuszki - 1.
One of the contradictory, in terms of beauty, attractions of Sopot is the fountain "Yasya Fisherman". Some of the citizens he likes, but some consider it ridiculous. However, everyone converges that soon the fountain will be considered a real business card of the resort. Constructed him after the end of the war, where the city hotel had previously stood. The statue of a fisherman with a basket of catch, which was installed between water jets - this is a copy of the sculpture that was once in the garden of one of the villas.
Not far from the longest wooden pier (mall) of Europe, it is a huge, majestic "Grand Hotel". This palace was built in 1927 for lovers of gambling, and he was called "Casino-Hotel". In 1933, one of the representatives of the urban governance lost all his money here and committed suicide. It was one of the loudest scandals of the XX century. in Poland.
In this majestic place, well-known politicians of the time, movie stars and music, the richest and influential people of the world were stopped. It is noteworthy that in the Grand Hotel there are no chambers under, superstitial for many, number 13. And in the famous "general" room, redefined specifically under the giant growth of General Charles de Gaulle, anyone can stop, if, of course, will be able to pay it.
Location: Powstańców Warszawy - 12/14.
In the vicinity of Sopot, in the Valley "Olive Forests", there is a small park - "Forest Opera". He knows his extraordinary acoustics. In 1909, in this place, the theater was built in the open-air, where various festivals began to be held. Over the next years, the scene is constantly reconstructed and modernized. Now this is a big concert hall, designed for 5,000 spectators and more than 100 musicians. It is in this park that the annual "International Song Festival" is held.
The Church of the Savior - an unusual architectural structure for the city, built in the style of Modern. Initially, it was planned to be taken to 1913. However, the first World War Forced to postpone the construction. He finished it only in 1919. The church was intended for Protestants who lived in Sopot. During the war, the building suffered greatly, but did not cease to work. This church is the only one in three-grade (Gdansk, Sopot and Gdynia), where the evangelical services are held.
Location: Parkowa - 5.
"The fortune of Sopot" is a unique museum located in the open-air in the forest. When excavations, amber and bone jewelry were found here, household items and ceramics, traditional outfits.

If you get tired of the scorching sun and want to soak on a bench, in the shade of thick foliage of trees, you can look into the park " Mary and Lech Kaczynski. " He was named after the President of Poland and his spouse tragically died in a plane crash in 2010 near Smolensky.
The park is located on the embankment, near the spoting mall and lighthouse. The park is small, but here it is quiet, calm and beautiful. While the young vacationers will play on the playground, adults will be able to relax on the beads, under the noise of water of small fountains.
