Gdynia is one of the youngest Polish cities on the Baltic coast of the country. As part of the of the tricity area with Gdansk and Sopot fewer tourists visit Gdynia yet the city plays an important role as one of Poland’s major seaports.
We start our afternoon tour at Gdynia’s main train station (Gdynia Główna). We pass the Monument to Displaced Gdynians (Pomnik Gdynian Wysiedlonych) and turn from Starowiejska street to 3 Maja. We pass a church (Kościół pw. Najświętszego Serca Pana Jezusa) and eventually head to the Park im. Marii i Lecha Kaczyńskich uphill.
Heading up there to the view point with the cross (Krzyż Kamienna Góra) takes some breath. Few people are around as it’s a pubic holidy today. The cross at the viewpoint can be seen also from other districts. We check the view and walk down again on our way to sea with one of the sandy beaches of Gdynia.
There at the sea the seagulls enjoy some meal on this windy day. The tour continues around the marina with small boats to big ships. On our way back from the waterfront to the city centre we pass the Kościuszki Square, with a distinctive fountain as its center
Our tour ends right where we started - at Gdynia Główna.
