Sopot is one of the most picturesque and popular seaside towns in Poland, located on the Gulf of Gdańsk between Gdańsk and Gdynia, forming the Tri-City. It is known for its beautiful sandy beaches, healing waters, and unique spa atmosphere. In the center of Sopot is one of the most recognizable places in Poland – the pier, which is the longest wooden pier in Europe. The Sopot Pier is a meeting place for walks and relaxation, offering wonderful views of the sea and the city’s panorama. Over 500 meters long, the pier extends far into the Gulf of Gdańsk, and at its end, there is a marina where yachts and boats dock. A walk on the pier, especially at sunset, is a must-do experience for anyone visiting Sopot.
Right next to the pier begins the famous Monte Cassino Street, commonly known as Monciak. It is Sopot’s main pedestrian street, bustling with life year-round. Monciak is full of restaurants, cafes, bars, and shops, making it the heart of the city’s social life. On this street, you will also find one of the most distinctive buildings in Poland – the Crooked House. This building, with its unusual, wavy architecture, looks as if it came straight out of a fairytale and is an attraction for both locals and tourists. The Crooked House houses numerous service venues and offices, and its unique shape makes it one of the most photographed attractions in the city.
Along Monciak, there are also several important places connected with the history and culture of Sopot, including the garrison church of St. George. This neo-Gothic church, built at the beginning of the 20th century, towers over the city and is an important landmark. Its distinctive tower can be seen from various parts of Sopot, and the church’s interior offers peace and reflection, contrasting with the lively pedestrian street. Walking along Monciak, one can feel Sopot’s unique atmosphere, where the elegance of a resort blends with the relaxed, seaside vibe. Sopot is a city that combines history, culture, entertainment, and nature, and its unique location on the Baltic Sea makes it one of the most desirable holiday destinations in Poland.
