The tri-city agglomeration (Gdansk-Gdynia-Sopot) has, in the last few years, come to occupy a pivotal position on the Polish cultural map. Because of the potential of three completely unique cities joined together, it is able offer tourists a myriad of leisure options. There is something for everyone here, as each city offers a different number of possibilities.
Gdansk is without a doubt the one with the most Polish history, culture and scale of the three. The grandiose basilicas attract lovers of sacral art, while those interested in contemporary Polish history will make their way to the Gdansk Grain Mill. The old, narrow streets of the old town also find their enthusiasts. However, the biggest attraction is undoubtedly the Market (Jarmark) of St. Dominic, organised every summer in this city. This celebration, due to its history and renown, is one of the most well-known festivals in Poland. The evenings are then devoted to a cosy restaurant or an all-night party in neighbouring Sopot.
Its renown and position in Poland as well as in Europe had recently been acknowledged when Gdansk won the bid to be one of the host cities of the European Football Championships in 2012.
