Gdynia, Poland

Gdynia is a major Polish port and ship building centre, lying along Gdansk Bay on the Baltic. A naval port was constructed here in the 1920s and in 1970 Gdynia, along with Gdansk, was the scene of tragic rioting.

Made a city in 1926 and therefore one of Poland’s youngest cities, Gdynia lies in close proximity to sandy beaches and the forested hills surrounding the city.

Winner of the 2002 Europe Prize for promoting the idea of European unity, you can discover Gdansk and the surrounding area from this convenient port.
