Sopot Travel Guide

Tourist Guide
Sopot
Join the fun at Poland’s well-loved coastal resort to discover one of Europe’s longest wooden piers, upscale stores and restaurants and wide sandy beaches.

Sopot is a delightful blend of elements. This bustling seaside city is loved by both Poles and international visitors. See traditional 100-year-old villas alongside modern architecture. Choose to discover history and culture or dance all night in the booming bars and nightclubs. The beach is a wide stretch of golden sand at the heart of the resort.

The resort has been a top destination for the rich and famous since the early 1800s. Today, Sopot is certainly far more accessible to all, but remains a favorite haunt for members of high society. Join them as they lounge in the trendy bars and cafés or opt for a quiet, family-friendly ice cream parlor.

Discover more about Sopot’s history at the Sopot Museum, located on the seafront. Head to the well-resourced State Art Gallery, which houses mainly Polish art. The gallery is located in the reconstructed Dom Zdrojowy (Spa House), in which a natural spring bubbles up.

Entertainment attractions are plentiful is this bubbly fun-loving town. Walk Heroes of Monte Cassino Street, which stretches from the station to the pier. Along the way discover the Crooked House and the unusual Tightrope Walker Statue. Created by Polish sculptor Jerzy Kedziora, it seems to defy gravity. Walk past the busy Plac Zdrojowy down to the famous Molo. Famed as one of Europe’s longest wooden piers, the Molo extends 1,679 feet (512 meters) into the Bay of Gdańsk. A little farther north of the Molo is the landmark Grand Hotel, which dates to 1927.

In a hilly forested area of Sopot is the Opera Leśna, a large amphitheater that seats 5,000 people. Visit during August to enjoy the Sopot International Song Festival, a popular singing contest that draws huge crowds from around Poland and beyond.

Sopot is 9 miles (15 kilometers) northwest of Gdańsk. In fact, Sopot is considered part of the tri-city area along with Gdańsk and Gdynia. The three share an extensive public transportation network.
