gdynia
Gdynia is a sea port located on the Baltic Sea. Together
with Gdańsk and Sopot, Gdynia forms an area known as Tri-
City. The city is one of Poland’s youngest, albeit fastest
growing urban areas. Merely 90 years ago, it was nothing
but a fishing village – today, the city is home to 250,000
inhabitants.
A number of unique sites are to be found in Gdynia –
from picturesque coastline and vast greenery to large
industrial areas. The city is also known for its annual Polish
Film Festival that has been organized here for over 20 years.

Gdynia’s location is also the division mark between two
geographical regions, and as such, the city’s landscape is
diverse – from the steep hills of Kępa Oksywska and Kępa
Redłowska, to the cliffs, valleys and two small rivers. Nearly
50% of Gdynia’s total land area is forested and forms part of
the Tri-City Landscape Park.
