Begin your tour at Skwer Kościuszki, the vibrant heart of Gdynia and one of the most iconic seaside promenades in Poland. Surrounded by monuments, cafés, and the marina, this is the perfect place to learn how Gdynia transformed from a small fishing village into a modern port city.
Continue towards Molo Południowe, where two of Gdynia’s most famous ships are moored. Your guide will introduce you to the history of the legendary destroyer ORP Błyskawica, a heroic vessel that served during World War II, and the elegant sailing frigate Dar Pomorza, known as the “White Lady.” Although you won’t board the ships, you’ll hear fascinating stories about their voyages, crews, and roles in shaping Poland’s maritime identity.
From the waterfront, head up to the Kamienna Góra viewpoint, one of the most beautiful panoramic spots on the Baltic coast. Whether you walk or take the short funicular ride, you’ll be rewarded with sweeping views of the marina, the port, and the city skyline.
Descend towards Świętojańska Street, the main avenue of Gdynia’s modernist district. Lined with 1930s architecture, boutiques, and local cafés, it offers a glimpse into the city’s unique urban style and its reputation as a showcase of Polish modernism.
Your tour concludes at the Basilica of Our Lady Queen of Poland, a striking church that blends traditional and modern elements. Step inside to admire its serene interior and learn about its significance for the local community.
