Quirky upside-down wooden cabin with 2 floors to explore, including displays of paintings.
It was fun! Loved seeing the long boards and upside down house. It was educational seeing the Syberian barracks, and various other examples of wood houses.
Donna R — Google review
Beautiful place to visit , the prices are pretty expensive thought. Big free parking People with babies I would suggest a harness and not a pushchair as it’s kind of rocky and not straight pavement. There are few restaurants and a kids park. Zip line purchase separately at 25zl Entrance 47zl per person under 6 go free.
Monika ( — Google review
Interesting place to learn more about the WWII history of the region. Unfortunately a bit expensive for what you get. And most of the information is only in Polish.
Ghgames — Google review
We mistakenly thought this was a large outdoor museum but it's relatively small and you can't go in all the houses. It's an interesting way to spend 45 mins to an hour and is not expensive. There's also plenty of parking. There seemed to be a couple of restaurants but they weren't open in early April. We drove from Gdansk thinking we would be there hours, but never mind, the scenery around the park was nice.
Tracy S — Google review
Three parts, the first educational, the second fairy-tale and the third climbing. The fairy tale part needs fixing. Climbing is best for children and educational for older children. I gave one less star because each part is paid separately.
Tomas O — Google review
We visited this place for the second time. It is still very interesting but we were very disappointed that most of the buildings were closed! In MAY! It was totally unacceptable to pay full price and get only 30% of buildings open.
David — Google review
Not disabled friendly at all, all the paths are uneven bumpy and lots of hills and stairs. Not the place to come if you struggle with your mobility or using a mobility scooter.
Wesley M — Google review
A very interesting "gravity defying" piece of architecture and construction work. A must visit place in the outskirts of Gdansk through a very scenic road . Everything inside & outside the house is upside down. Some people find get a bit dizzy after some time inside the house as human brain could take a bit of time to get adjusted to this unusual place. I had too much fun. There are basically 2 floors inside the house and one can go to both levels. Some interesting paintings are in the "second " floor. Good place for photography too.

One of the few last places where you can feel the old Kaszubian tradition and art. A must if you are travelling through this wonderful region.
Buran — Google review
The true Kaszubian experience! Very friendly and expert staff explains about the process of making the earthenware. The top floor is the actual museum, middle floor is the workshop, and the ground floor holds the shop and the kilns. We went on a shopping frenzy, everything was just so authentic and truly beautiful! Great place!
Cezary W — Google review
It is a family workshop/museum with pottery. A visit costs 7 PLN and you can have a look at traditional Kashubian pottery. It is amazing how deep this topic turns out to be. Our guide who was the owner's daughter knew absolutely eveyrthing about it. If you are into handicraft you will be delighted. You will also be able to purchase some souvenirs.

Jasen H — Google review
(Translated by Google) A beautiful church, both from the outside and especially from the inside. I recommend everyone to see it. There is a mini park attached to the cemetery and a parking lot for visitors (Original) Przepiękny kościół, jak i z zewnątrz A przede wszystkim wewnątrz. Każdemu polecam jego zobaczenie. Jest mini park przylepiony do cmentarza, parking dla odwiedzających
Adam A — Google review
(Translated by Google) The Gothic church was built here at the end of the 14th century for the needs of the Carthusian order, from which the town took its name. The entire collegiate church is permeated by the spirit of the rule of one of the most strict orders of medieval Europe, which prohibited conversations and required work, solitude and contemplation of death. This can be seen both in the "memento mori" inscription on the sundial, as well as in the original roof of the temple, reminiscent of the centuries-old coffin, and even in the form of the pendulum of the main clock, which is an angel with a scythe, which rhythmically and inexorably shortens, piece by piece, the time left to each of them until the last judgment. The building is beautifully situated by a small lake. In addition to full hours, the clock's signature also measures quarters of an hour. (Original) Gotycki kościół wybudowano tu pod koniec XIV wieku na potrzeby zakonu kartuzów, od których wzięła nazwę miejscowość. Całą kolegiatę przenika duch reguły jednego z najbardziej surowych zakonów średniowiecznej Europy, która zakazywała rozmów, wymagała pracy, samotności i rozmyślania o śmierci. Widać to zarówno w inskrypcji "memento mori" na zegarze słonecznym, jak i oryginalnym dachu świątyni, przypominającym wieki trumny, a nawet w formie wahadła głównego zegara, którym jest aniołek z kosą, którą rytmicznie i nieubłaganie skraca po kawałku czas, jaki pozostał każdemu do ostatniego sądu. Budowla przepięknie położona nad niewielkim jeziorem. Sygnatura zegara odmierza prócz pełnych godzin także kolejne kwadranse.
Marek K — Google review
(Translated by Google) Beautiful place. I also focused particularly on the garden at the Church. It's really worth visiting this place during the season. We went on a great walk by the lake. Beautiful view of the collegiate church. (Original) Piękne miejsce. Skupiłam się szczególne też na ogrodzie przy Kościele. Naprawdę warto w sezonie odwiedzić to miejsce. Byliśmy na super spacerze nad jeziorkiem. Śliczny widok na kolegiatę.
Maria M — Google review
(Translated by Google) Beautiful collegiate church. It is a real architectural gem. Perfectly restored. It is a pity that the surrounding historic houses have been overlooked and neglected. The gardens adjacent to the collegiate church are excellently kept. The interior of the church is literally stunning. It is not very often that after the turmoil of war, the interior of a church with beautiful altars, stalls and other artifacts has been preserved in perfect condition. This is simply a must see. I highly recommend it. (Original) Piękna kolegiata. To prawdziwa perełka architektoniczna. Znakomicie zrewaloryzowana. Szkoda że okoliczne zabytkowe domy zostały pominięte i zaniedbane. Przyległe do kolegiaty ogrody znakomicie utrzymane. Wnętrze kościoła dosłownie powala. Niezbyt często zdarza się by po zawieruchach wojennych zachowało się w doskonałym stanie wnętrze kościoła z pięknymi ołtarzami, stallami i innymi artefaktami. To po prostu trzeba zobaczyć. Gorąco polecam.

(Translated by Google) "Memento Mori" (Remember that you will die) Greeting to the monks of the Carthusian rule. Collegiate Church of St. Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Kartuzy. The entire church carries the message of death. The coffin-shaped roof and numerous sculptures and elements of the church are intended to remind us that death is an integral part of life and is fair to all. He doesn't grimace and doesn't allow himself to be bribed. A place worth seeing due to its craftsmanship. A place where there was silence, prayer and concentration. Solitude, mortification, silence and constant work are the way of life of the Carthusians and Camaldolese monks staying in this monastery. (Original) "Memento Mori" (Pamiętaj że umrzesz) Pozdrowienie zakonników reguły kartuzów. Kolegiata pw. Wniebowzięcia NMP w Kartuzach. Cały kościół niesie przesłanie śmierci . Dach w kształcie trumny oraz liczne rzeźby i elementy kościoła mają przypominać że śmierć jest nieodłącznym elementem życia i jest sprawiedliwa dla wszystkich. Nie grymasi i nie daje się przekupić. Miejsce warte zobaczenia ze względu na kunszt wykonania. Miejsce w którym panowała cisza, modlitwa i skupienie. Samotność, umartwienie, milczenie i ciągła praca to sposób życia kartuzów i kamedułów przebywających w tym klasztorze.

Yes, they have some nice items, but I still was a little underwhelmed… If you visit a LOT of military museums this one is not one to travel far for. Nice touch was you can shoot real guns, and if you like ammunition they have a nice collection!

Huge military and vehicles museum. Really impressive number of exponents and old vehicles. The presentation is quite static, as in traditional old school museums. So maybe more suitable for adults, than kids. There is a lot of parking and restaurant onsite.

We took our girl swimming here and had a good day, my wife booked the sauna for today they said we can come at anytime but when we arrived they said we will have to come back in 3 hours because they have changed the times for entry 😡we we asked why they didn't send us a message about the change of time they said they were very busy. Not impressed with that.
Mark T — Google review
Although the rides are good and the spaces are clean the experience is completely overpriced when compared to other similar parks offering similar services. The limited amount of rides and the time limitation of 3 hours to be inside the venue make the price completely unreasonable, even worse when you take into account that some slides are not included in the general fare and you have to pay extra each time you use them.

Horrible experience, seriously overcrowded. Looks like zero limits on capacity. Made it really uncomfortable and dangerous. For the money spent it was very disappointing. Also there is an extra fee for a car park, which was not there last year. Would recommend Sopot Park instead, by miles better quality, staff and overall experience.
Anna&Chris&William S — Google review
The park is not very big with few slides only. The main slide “spinner” which is the main attraction of the park is not included in the price. You list pay extra. When we visited the park we bought a full ticket including the Spa area but nobody told us that this section is under renovation and therefore closed!!

Herkules Noclegi Pokoje Jastrzębia Góra

Self-catering accommodation
Outdoor Activities
Herkules Noclegi Pokoje in Jastrzębia Góra offers a cozy and budget-friendly retreat just a stone's throw from the beach. This guesthouse features simple yet clean rooms, many of which come with balconies that provide views of the lively main street. While it may not boast modern decor, its charm lies in its old-school vibe and welcoming atmosphere. Families will appreciate the shared kitchen for meal prep and a spacious playground nearby to keep kids entertained.
(Translated by Google) It's an okay place, the owner is very nice, I don't know how you can have a problem with him. The place is old-style, it could be an advantage. It wasn't dirty, just old equipment, e.g. there is stone in the bathroom and maybe something could really be replaced, I'm mainly thinking about the shower handles, but everything served its purpose. We've already stayed in a nicer place in this town and we also had to have our own soap and toilet paper (there was just not enough), but ours are also more reliable in terms of cleanliness, so I always have such things with me and I don't see a problem. A large parking lot, we could still use it after leaving the room. There was a kettle and a fridge in the room and they worked. To sum up - a completely good place to stay overnight, you just have to think about having the necessary things, flip-flops for bathing too, and you won't have to get frustrated. (Original) W porządku miejsce, właściciel bardzo miły, nie wiem jak można mieć z nim problem. Miejsce jest w starym stylu, można by zrobić z tego atut. Nie było brudno, tylko stary sprzęt np. w łazience widać kamień i może coś rzeczywiście przydałoby się wymienić, myślę głównie o rączkach prysznicowych, ale swoją funkcję wszystko spełniło. Nocowaliśmy już w ładniejszym miejscu w tej miejscowości i też musieliśmy mieć swoje mydło, czy papier toaletowy (był tylko za mało), ale swoje są też pewniejsze pod kątem czystości, więc ja takie rzeczy zawsze mam ze sobą i nie widzę problemu. Duży parking, po opuszczeniu pokoju jeszcze mogliśmy spokojnie z niego korzystać. Czajnik, lodówka w pokoju były i działały. Podsumowując - zupełnie dobre miejsce do noclegu, trzeba myśleć, żeby potrzebne rzeczy mieć, klapki do kąpania też i nie trzeba będzie się frustrować.

(Translated by Google) Rooms - PRL, that's a fact. The advantage is that the rooms (at least ours) were quite large with a view of the nearby food stands :) Plus the balcony. However, time stopped there a long time ago. My wife and I are not demanding, but a torn sheet or standing water in a slightly moldy shower may bother someone more. Two stars only because there were no worms ;) Service? It's hard to tell. I talked to an older lady on the phone and settled accounts with a young lady - we only saw her twice (arrival/departure). The place makes up for its location. Right at the entrance to the beach (with a ramp for strollers, which is very important, because this is probably the only such entrance), nearby the Żabka store, a supermarket (small) and alcoholic beverages. Very close to restaurants and a place to party :) The noise didn't bother us, everything went quiet from around midnight. Generally, we were rarely in the room, we are not demanding, so 3 out of 5 stars is a realistic rating, but if someone expects a five-star hotel, this is not the address ;) If we come to Jelenia, we will come to Hercules again. (Original) Pokoje- PRL,to fakt. Plusem jest to,że pokoje (przynajmniej nasz) był nawet sporawy z widokiem na okoliczne budki z żarciem :) Plus za balkon. Jednak czas sie tam zatrzymał i to dawno. My z żoną wymagajacy nie jesteśmy,ale podarte prześcieradło, czy stojąca woda w lekko zagrzybiałym prysznicu może komuś bardziej przeszkadzać. Dwie gwiazdki tylko dlatego,że nie było robaków ;) Obsługa? Ciężko stwierdzić. Przez telefon rozmawiałem ze starszą panią, rozliczałem sie z młodą- widzieliśmy Ją tylko 2 razy (przyjazd / wyjazd). Miejsce nadrabia swoim położeniem. Tuż przy wejściu na plażę (z podjazdem dla wózków,co mega ważne,bo tk chyba jedyne takie zejście), w poblizu sklep Żabka, market (mały) i alkohole. Bardzo blisko restauracje, a także miejsce do imprezowania :) Hałas nam nie przeszkadzał,wszystko zamierało od ok. północy. Ogólnie w pokoju byliśmy rzadko,nie jesteśmy wymagajacy,więc 3 na 5 gwiazdek to ocena realna,ale jak ktoś liczy na pięciogwiazdkowy hotel, to nie ten adres ;) My,jeśli zawitamy do Jeleniej, to przybędziemy ponownie do Herkulesa.

(Translated by Google) I give it 1 star because I can't give it less. Drama, I will never visit this place again. Not only do the equipment, couch and room furnishings remember the times of the Polish People's Republic or even earlier, they are very dirty. While staying in the room at the "Herkules" guesthouse, we had the impression that the room had not been cleaned at all after previous tourists. Something disgusting, even a brush couldn't be used to sweep it, because disgusting clumps of old hair were sticking out of it. The couches were full of sand, nothing had been vacuumed, and the bathroom floor was full of hair. We were afraid of catching anything, so we equipped ourselves with cleaning products at our own expense to feel at least a little safe and that we would not return from vacation with some parasite. The water in the shower did not flow, the water stood above my ankles during the bath, the toilet flush did not work properly and, in addition, a terrible stench came out of the bathroom sewage, like a toilet. The corridor is also in a deplorable condition, there are clouds of dust on the floor, tangled with hair and sand, someone spilled something on the tiles, and during our entire stay in the guesthouse, none of the owners bothered to wash or at least vacuum the staircase. Moreover, we were a little late and on arrival it turned out that our room had been rented to someone else, but luckily we managed to find another replacement. The only advantage of this place is the fact that the distance to the beach is small, but I think it's not worth it because the stay is not super cheap and for this price you can definitely have much better conditions and feel comfortable. I don't recommend this place to anyone. (Original) Daje 1 gwiazdkę, ponieważ mniej już się nie da. Dramat nigdy więcej nie odwiedzę tego miejsca. Nie dosyć że sprzęt, tapczan i wyposażenie pokoju pamiętają czasy PRL albo jeszcze wcześniej to bardzo brudno. Będąc w pokoju w pensjonacie „Herkules” odnieśliśmy wrażenie że pokój nie został w ogóle posprzątany po poprzednich turystach. Coś obrzydliwego nawet szczotka nie nadawała się żeby nią pozamiatać, gdyż wystawały z niej obrzydliwe kłęby starych włosów. Na tapczanach było pełno piachu, nic nie zostało odkurzone, w łazience na podłodze pełno włosów. Baliśmy się żeby nic nie złapać, wiec sami na własny koszt wyposażyliśmy się w środki czystości żeby choć w minimalnym stopniu poczuć się bezpiecznie oraz że z wakacji nie wrócimy z jakimś pasożytem. Pod prysznicem woda nie spływała, podczas kąpieli woda stała ponad kostki, spłuczka w toalecie nie działała prawidłowo i na dodatek w łazience kanalizacją wydostawał się straszny smród niczym z toi toi. Korytarz również w opłakanym stanie, na podłodze kłęby kurzu poplątane w włosami i piachem, ktoś wylał coś na płytki to przez cały nasz pobyt w pensjonacie nikt z właścicieli nie pofatygował się żeby umyć bądź chociaż odkurzyć klatkę schodową. Ponadto spóźniliśmy się trochę to na miejscu okazało się że nasz pokój został wynajęty komuś innemu ale na szczęście udało znaleźć się inny zastępczy. Jedynym plusem tego miejsca jest fakt że odległość do plaży jest niewielka lecz uważam że nie warto ponieważ pobyt nie jest jakoś super tani i za tą cenę można mieć zdecydowanie dużo lepsze warunki i czuć się komfortowo. Nie polecam tego miejsca nikomu.

(Translated by Google) I was there this year. On the plus side, it was clean and close to the beach. Cons: the rooms look like from the 90s, TV with a picture tube, bathroom needs renovation, the fridge didn't let you sleep and it's expensive. (Original) Byłem w tym roku. Na plus to było czysto i blisko do plaży. Minusy: pokoje wyglądają jak z lat 90-tych, tv kineskop, łazienka do remontu, lodówka nie dawała spać i drogo.

(Translated by Google) Once and never again I will visit this place. The rooms and the entire atmosphere in this place are reminiscent of the era of the Polish People's Republic. The service was at the level -1 and greedy for money - a different price was announced during the telephone conversation, another (of course more expensive) turned out to be the right one. I highly do not recommend this place to anyone! (Original) Raz i nigdy więcej nie odwiedzę tego miejsca. Pokoje, jak i cała atmosfera zatrzymała się w tym miejscu na epoce rodem z PRL-u. Obsługa na poziomie -1 i do tego chciwa na pieniądze - inna cena była w powiedziana w trakcie rozmowy telefonicznej, inna (oczywiście droższa) okazała się być na miejscu. Serdecznie nie polecam tego miejsca nikomu!
Christopher — Google review
(Translated by Google) A stay cheaper than a hotel stay, although not as cheap as advertised. I was surprised by the need to pay for the stay in advance before the room was made available. I didn't have that much cash with me and I was forced to look for an ATM (one was crowded with tourists and the other was temporarily closed). When, out of breath, I returned to the guesthouse with the money and was given a room, it turned out that there was neither a towel nor a piece of soap. Although I had a towel with me, I had to go outside again to look for soap. After driving 400 km, it took a long time before I could wash my hands. There was no mention of issuing an invoice for the stay. I won't mention the conditions in the guesthouse because I didn't see all the rooms. In my room, which I ordered as a 2-person room, there was one double sofa and two single sofas. There was no longer enough space for a small table, which we had to place on the casing of a small refrigerator, moving it accordingly - a nightmare. I would advise the owner of the facility to provide at least a room for a shared kitchen equipped with dishes and cutlery in such a large guesthouse. The kettle in the room does not meet the needs for preparing a basic meal, especially since it could only be prepared on the refrigerator. I was also surprised by the savings on lighting - the entrance to the stairs outside was completely dark, especially dangerous for elderly people. Small measures would be enough to improve the aesthetics of the concrete balcony and unfinished raw plinths. the lack of even a small table on the balcony and the replacement of old ropes and clips from the times of King Ćwieczek with newer and aesthetic products. I also ignore the TV offer. There is no cable TV, not to mention satellite TV. In short, anyone who only needs a place to sleep and eats in the so-called city is welcome - I will definitely not use this place again. (Original) Pobyt tańszy od hotelowego, chociaż nie tak tani jakby wynikało z reklamy. Zaskoczyła mnie konieczność wniesienia opłaty za pobyt z góry przed udostępnieniem pokoju. Nie miałem przy sobie tyle gotówki i zostałem zmuszony do poszukiwania bankomatu ( jeden był oblegany przez turystów a drugi chwilowo nieczynny). Kiedy zdyszany powróciłem z pieniędzmi do pensjonatu i udostępniono mi pokój okazało się iż nie ma tam ani ręcznika ani kawałka mydła. Co prawda ręcznik miałem ze sobą ale w poszukiwaniu mydła musiałem ponownie udać się na zewnątrz. Po przejechaniu 400 km upłynęło więc sporo czasu zanim mogłem umyć ręce.O wystawieniu rachunku za pobyt nawet nie wspomniano. Nie będę wypominał warunków panujących w pensjonacie bo nie widziałem wszystkich pokoi. W moim pokoju który zamawiałem jako 2-osobowy była jedna kanapa dwuosobowa i dwie jednoosobowe. Nie wystarczyło już miejsca na mały stolik, który musieliśmy urządzać na obudowie małej lodówki, odpowiednio ją przesuwając - koszmar. Radziłbym właścicielowi obiektu aby w tak dużym pensjonacie wygospodarował chociaż pomieszczenie na wspólną kuchnię wyposażoną w naczynia i sztućce. Czajnik w pokoju nie załatwia bowiem potrzeb w zakresie przygotowania podstawowego posiłku szczególnie że przygotować go można było wyłącznie na obudowie lodówki . Zdziwiło mnie też oszczędzanie na oświetleniu - zupełnie ciemne wejście po schodach na zewnątrz, niebezpieczne szczególnie dla ludzi w starszym wieku.Niewielkie środki wystarczyłyby aby poprawić estetykę betonowego balkonu, nieobrobionych surowych cokołów. braku choćby małego stolika na balkonie i zastąpienia starych sznurów i klamerek do przypinania z czasów króla Ćwieczka wyrobami nowszymi i estetycznymi. Pomijam też ofertę telewizyjną. Brak telewizji kablowej nie mówiąc o satelitarnej.Jednym słowem, kto potrzebuje wyłącznie miejsca do spania i żywi się na tzw mieście to proszę bardzo - ja na pewno nie skorzystam już z tego miejsca.

(Translated by Google) I don't recommend such a disgusting place. Dirty, at the end a worm was found, each pillowcase was from a different parish, feathers were falling out of the bedding (I don't recommend it to people with allergies, also because of dust), and the pillows were dirty and flat, everything should have been thrown in the trash. The bathroom was also in poor condition, the shower curtain was terrible, the toilet also left a lot to be desired and fungus started to appear over the shower. Well, apparently it was all after renovation. When it comes to dishes and cutlery, you have to ask the owner, but I would prefer to take my own (unwashed). There were still funny curtains in the room, which didn't do their job very well anyway, because the neon lights outside the window made it impossible to sleep. We were not informed about any kitchenette or gym, although we heard that we had nothing to lose (a kitchenette with two burners and empty cabinets, and no access to the gym anyway). As for the grill, there was a thick layer of dirt and grease, and the grate was missing anyway, with subsequent "rods" falling off. The service itself was not helpful in any way, except for the money they were not interested in whether everything was OK or whether you liked your stay here at all. (Original) Nie polecam tak ohydnego miejsca. Brudno, na koniec został znaleziony robak, poszewki każda z innej parafii, z pościeli wypadało pierze (alergikom odradzam, również ze względów na kurz), a poduszki brudne i płaskie, powinno to być wszystko w śmietniku. Łazienka też w nienjlepszym stanie, okropna zasłona prysznicowa, kibelek też pozostawiła dużo do życzenia i zaczął pojawiać grzyb nad prysznicem. No i podobno to wszystko było po remoncie. Jeśli chodzi o naczynia i sztućce trzeba prosić się właściciela, ale wolałabym zabrać własne (niedomyte). Jeszcze w pokoju były śmieszne zasłony, które i tak niezbyt dobrze spełniały swoją rolę, bo neony za oknem nie pozwalały zasnąć. Nie zostaliśmy poinformowani o jakimkolwiek aneksie kuchennym czy siłowni, chodź słyszeliśmy że nie mieliśmy nic do stracenia (aneks z dwoma palnikami i pustymi szafkami, a siłownia i tak bez braku dostępu do niej). Jeśli chodzi o grill, gruba warstwa brudu i tłuszczu, a ruszt i tak był wybrakowany, a kolejne "pręciki" odchodziły. Sama obsługa w niczym nie była pomocna, oprócz pieniędzy nie byli zainteresowani czy jest wszystko w porządku i czy w ogóle pobyt tu się podobał.

(Translated by Google) I've been to this guesthouse twice. I recommend. Maybe it's not beautiful and super modern inside - but it's definitely clean and you can relax. Most rooms have a balcony overlooking the main street. I recommend. A big advantage is a large parking lot and a large playground next to the guesthouse. And people who go to the seaside to watch TV better stay at home. (Original) Byłam w tym pensjonacie dwa razy. Polecam. Może w środku nie jest pięknie i super nowocześnie - ale na pewno czysto i można odpocząć. Większość pokoi jest z balkonem z widokiem na główna ulice. Polecam. Dużym plusem jest duzy parking I wielki plac zabaw przy pensjonacie. A ludzie którzy jadą nad morze żeby oglądać telewizję niech lepiej zostaną w domach.

Dom whisky perfect place for everyone who like and enjoy good whisky. Their choice of scotch , bourbon, Irish, Japanese whisky is enormous. If you don’t have your favourite one. Which for me is definitely rich scotch turf/peaty flavour, you can pick and pick… fortunately here’s comes bartenders who’s are really knowledgeable and can easy explain and give advice. If you not too big fan of whisky like mine Mrs, you can still find something for yourself, they doing cocktails based on whisky which are superb specially whisky Sour. My Mrs don’t like whisky but she enjoyed her cocktail so much we came back for more. Building itself is special, themed bit on American style bars but really well made and finished. You can really relax in nice comfy chairs and sofas in dim lights, with glass of excellent whisky. Totally recommend!!!!

(Translated by Google) Modern, clean and well-organized marina with a beautiful view of the Bay of Puck. An ideal place for a walk, a bike stop or just a moment in silence with a view of the yachts. A perfectly designed space with well-kept surroundings. Close to the pier, beach and cafes. In the summer season there is a lot going on here, but even off-season it is worth coming for the atmosphere and views. The marina makes a very good impression and is a great showcase of the city. (Original) Nowoczesna, czysta i dobrze zorganizowana marina z pięknym widokiem na Zatokę Pucką. Idealne miejsce na spacer, przystanek rowerowy albo po prostu chwilę w ciszy z widokiem na jachty. Świetnie zaprojektowana przestrzeń z zadbanym otoczeniem. Blisko stąd do molo, plaży i kawiarni. W sezonie letnim sporo się tu dzieje, ale nawet poza sezonem warto przyjechać dla atmosfery i widoków. Marina robi bardzo dobre wrażenie i jest świetną wizytówką miasta.

(Translated by Google) A small, one might say intimate beach. Good dining facilities nearby. Most importantly - a shallow shore that allows you to go deep into the sea, and the water is still knee-deep... Relatively clean water. It is worth walking 2 km through the park and enjoying the beautiful view from the cliff. I especially recommend it in September, after the season, when there is no such noise and you can relax in a truly seaside scenery. (Original) Mała, można powiedzieć-kameralna plaża. Dobre zaplecze gastronomiczne w pobliżu. Co najważniejsze-wypłycony brzeg, który pozwala zapuścić się w głąb morza, a woda ciągle sięga po kolana...Stosunkowo czysta woda. Warto podejść parkiem ze 2 km i nacieszyć oczy pięknym widokiem z klifu. Szczególnie polecam we wrześniu, po sezonie gdy nie ma już takiego gwaru i odpocząć można w prawdziwie morskiej scenerii.

Place is good for children only, not for adults without kids, a bit too boring, that's just my opinion, it could be more fun for other people. Entrance price is included with one ticket for a ride, want to ride more you pay extra. You can get something to eat if you want. If you got children go there if not don't waste your time/money, go instead to a restaurant and put your money there.

50 zloty for a park with only 5 real animals. The rest is not even realistic sculpted or drawn on walls. The only thing that made a little fun were remote-controlled to cars. You can go to the zoo for half of the money and see more and real animals or you can go to the playground for free. This was a waste of time and money.

The park has no real fish, sea creatures or aquariums. Only statues. Came with 7 and 5 year old and found it very boring. Spent the whole time at the playground. Definitely not worth the 1.5hrs drive from Gdansk and the price (120 zloty for 2ad+2ch)

Tunnel with sharks consists of sharks painted on the wall (no joke). Avoid at all costs and most of all, don't pay any money for scam. If you ignore all red flags and wander inside, don't try out food. You have been warned! 🐳🚫

Plaża Sopot is a stunning beach nestled in the charming resort town of Sopot, making it a favorite spot for both locals and visitors alike. With its soft sands stretching along the coastline, this beach offers a delightful escape during the summer months when it can get quite lively. While swimming is enjoyable due to relatively warm waters, be mindful of certain areas that may have algae. Although there are no shower facilities available, you can find spots to change clothes.
The Baltic Sea in Sopot is both haunting and mesmerizing — its deep, dark waters draw you in with a quiet, mysterious beauty. There’s something truly captivating about its calm power and endless horizon. 🌊

We came to explore the famous beach of Sobota. The beach was nice, yet in our opinion nothing special, maybe even a little disappointing. The sandy area of ​​the beach is in most parts quite narrow (but kilometers long), the dunes were small, the sand was fine-grained, the water seemed clean, the beach was not littered. There were a lot of people, but there were few services, such as toilets, other than near the pier. There are few parking spaces, mostly on the side of the street. We think it is worth visiting the beach, but perhaps on a less populated part.

Dluga – this street is full of history. We must remember that much of it was rebuilt after 1945. In March of that year, almost 90 percent of the Rechtstadt was destroyed. And yet, in the years that followed, under the communist regime, a remarkable decision was made in Warsaw: not to replace it with rows of apartment blocks in the typical socialist style, as was done across Eastern Europe, but instead to rebuild the historical heart of the city. That choice was a great achievement. Thanks to it, we can still walk these streets today, discover their stories, and feel the spirit of history alive around us.

Another must-see destination in Gdańsk, but not as impressive as the buildings along the Stara Motława River, Mariacka Street, or the adjacent market square. Długi Targ Street is an extension of the market square of the same name, together forming the so-called Royal Route. It is bounded on the west by the Golden Gate and on the east by the Main City Hall, beyond which the market square begins. The surrounding townhouses are primarily home to restaurants, boutiques, and souvenir shops.

Neptune's Fountain

Mentioned on 
+63 other lists 
Sculpture
Sights & Landmarks
Neptune's Fountain is a 17th-century bronze statue of the sea god located in the Main Town (Gowne Miasto) area. The surrounding historic houses and cafes create a strikingly beautiful and colorful main street, with attractions like the Golden Gate and Green Gate at either end. The area was largely rebuilt after World War II, but still retains its charm with bas-reliefs, colorful frescos, musicians, and street performers.
This beautiful fountain is the center piece of any stroll through Old Town, Gdansk. The surrounding area is always animated and particularly beautiful during the winter Christmas markets. I personally love watching the Pigeons come and go using this icon as their own personal bath and meeting point.

On a –5°C winter evening, the Neptune Fountain appeared especially striking under its red illumination, standing out against the historic façade of the Main Town Hall. The entire square was glowing with Christmas lights, creating a warm and atmospheric contrast to the cold air. The combination of bright reflections on the fountain and the soft golden tones from nearby cafés and seasonal stalls gave the area a distinctive holiday charm. The cobblestone street leading to the monument is beautifully lit at night and adds depth to the experience, with wide open spaces that allow you to appreciate the fountain without feeling crowded. The sculpture is well preserved, and the winter lighting enhances every detail, making this one of the most photogenic corners of Gdańsk during the festive season. A beautiful landmark to include during an evening walk through the Old Town.

A very beautiful old fountain, where birds are coming to enjoy the water and people gather to take photos. It is located in the old centre, among many nice unique cultural and historic buildings. It is a nice spot to throw a small coin in the water, make a wish, admire the sunset and feel grateful.

Perhaps the most iconic landmark in the entire city. It's a must-see when visiting Gdańsk. This 17th-century statue of the sea god, which also serves as a fountain, undoubtedly adding to its appeal, is probably the most photographed object in Gdańsk. As a result, apart from the statue's undeniable visual appeal, you can expect to encounter large crowds of tourists surrounding it. Fun fact: There used to be a high rate of theft of the seahorse's fin, which covers the statue's private parts. Therefore, the material used to make the fin was changed to a cheaper and more fragile one, making thefts less profitable, and even if they did occur, the rest of the statue would remain undamaged.

Came here to the Neptune Fountain in Poland. Neptune Fountain Details: Location: The fountain is located on the Długi Targ (Long Market), which is the historic central square of Gdańsk. Building in the Background: The building directly behind the fountain is the Artus Court (Dwór Artusa). Significance: It features a bronze statue of Neptune, the Roman god of the sea, symbolizing Gdańsk's deep-rooted connection to the sea and its maritime heritage as a vital port city. History: The statue was designed by Abraham van den Blocke and cast in bronze by Gerdt Benning. It was completed in the early 17th century and inaugurated in 1634.

It’s right in the heart of everything, so of course it was packed—but honestly, it didn’t take away from how cool it was to see in person. The fountain feels like it belongs exactly where it is, with Neptune standing proud in the middle of all that city energy. We didn’t spend long here, just kind of lingered while walking through the old town, but we both commented on how striking the whole scene looked, especially with the architecture behind it (though trying to get a pic while everyone props up against it is difficult!). It’s one of those spots you don’t plan to spend time at, but you end up circling a couple of times just to take it all in. Definitely worth seeing, even in the crowds.

Neptune’s Fountain is absolutely beautiful and truly unique—an iconic symbol of Gdańsk that perfectly captures the city’s historic charm. Located right in the center of the Long Market Square, it’s surrounded by some of the most stunning architecture in the city. Every building in the area looks like it belongs in a fairytale, making the whole experience feel magical. I visited in the first week of May, and as part of the main tourist area, it was incredibly busy. Still, the atmosphere was lively and exciting, and the fountain remains a standout highlight. Even with the crowds, it’s absolutely a must-see. Whether you’re stopping for a photo, learning about its history, or just admiring the details, Neptune’s Fountain is a true gem in the heart of Gdańsk.

St. Mary's Church

Basilica
Sights & Landmarks
Bazylika Mariacka Wniebowzięcia Najświętszej Maryi Panny w Gdańsku, also known as St. Mary's Church, is a Gothic Roman Catholic place of worship completed in 1502. It is one of the tallest structures in Gdansk Old Town and offers a stunning panoramic view of the city from its clock tower.
We made time for St. Mary’s Church and it quickly became one of our favorite stops in Gdańsk. Walking inside, you feel instantly dwarfed by the soaring vaults, crisp white walls, and softly filtered light streaming through stained glass—there’s a quiet majesty to it that surprised us. Seeing hundreds of memorial plaques and walking past dozens of small chapels gave the place a peaceful sense of history and reflection. Then we stumbled upon the astronomical clock—it’s huge, with wooden figures that move around at just before noon. It felt charmingly medieval.
K E — Google review
St. Mary’s Church in Gdańsk, also known as the Basilica of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, is a monumental Gothic structure and one of the city’s most iconic landmarks. Constructed between 1343 and 1502, it stands as the largest brick church in the world, capable of accommodating up to 25,000 people.  The interior is vast and serene, featuring over 300 tombstones, 31 chapels, and 37 windows that allow natural light to illuminate the space. A highlight is the 15th-century astronomical clock, standing 14 meters tall, which showcases intricate mechanisms displaying the time, date, lunar phases, and zodiac positions. At noon, a procession of figures, including Adam and Eve, the Three Kings, and the Apostles, emerges, captivating visitors with its historical charm.   For panoramic views of Gdańsk, visitors can climb the church’s 78-meter tower via 409 steps. The ascent is steep and narrow in places, so it’s advisable to wear comfortable footwear and be prepared for a physically demanding climb. The effort is rewarded with stunning vistas of the city’s Old Town and beyond.  Admission to the church is free, while access to the tower requires a small fee. Opening hours vary seasonally, so it’s recommended to check the official website before visiting.  Overall, St. Mary’s Church offers a profound glimpse into Gdańsk’s rich history and architectural grandeur, making it a must-visit for those exploring the city.

While the church is impressive from the outside and historically significant, the interior felt quite plain and underwhelming. There are a few interesting elements, like the astronomical clock and some old tombstones, but overall it lacks the detail you might expect from such a large structure.

Great free church in the centre. The place has an amazing astronomical clock which chimes at 12 pm every day. The church is very busy during this period. There is also a tower with 400 steps, giving panoramic views of the city for a fee.

Wow, it's just massive. Not as ornate inside as other Polish churches, but there was a large selection of relics inside. Free to visit. Remove your hat, be respectful.

Walking into St. Mary’s Church feels like entering a cathedral of light. The soaring white arches draw your eyes upward, while the vibrant stained-glass windows fill the interior with deep blues and warm reds. The atmosphere is calm and surprisingly intimate despite the impressive scale. The golden altarpiece and the astronomical clock were the highlights of my visit. Both are beautifully preserved and full of intricate details that you can admire up close. Several side chapels display sculptures, marble monuments and religious artifacts, making the whole space feel like an open-air museum. During my visit the floors were still slightly wet from melted ice outside, so I walked carefully, but it didn’t affect the experience. The church was quiet, and it was easy to appreciate each section without crowds. A must-see landmark in Gdańsk for anyone interested in architecture, history, or sacred art.
Camille S — Google review
Not the most ornate but a truly worthwhile visit. The climb to the viewing point in the roof (400 steps) is well worth it. The main reason i liked it was not so much for the view, which was fantastic, but for the rough and ready (authentic) steps and scaffold walkways which i much prefer to the sanitized/safe "tourist friendly" experiences that are the norm nowadays. Highly recommended.
Odhran M — Google review
This building is beautiful both externally and internally. I would caution taking the spiral staircase (it cost £4). The first 100 spiral steps are long, low and very narrow - and without a handrail, so it feels quite dangerous especially if busy. There are limited places for a rest or passing. The last 300 or so steps are much safer. If you do you reach the top, you are rewarded with excellent views over Gdansk and out to the Baltic Sea. I'd strongly recommend installing handrails as a minimum for safety - I'd visit the building again but not climb the stairs. "Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet, Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest? Hath not my hand made all these things?" Acts 7:48-50

The European Solidarity Centre, located in the famous Gdansk Shipyards, is a museum and library that pays homage to the modern Polish history and the influential trade union movement. The center's exhibits vividly portray the struggles and triumphs of the workers and unionists of the Polish Solidarity movement, which played a pivotal role in bringing about political change in Eastern Europe during the 1980s.
One of the best museums to check out in Poland, dedicating a well-sized exhibition to a topic spanning only a short but incredibly important era of Poland's most recent history. The presentation is superb and the subject matter explained well and with much dignity. A must-see if you're around Gdańsk and just remotely interested in this country's post-war history leading up to present-day Poland.
Markus V — Google review
Definitely THE museum to check out in Gdansk, it documents the history of the Solidarnosc movement that led to the end of communism and the splintering of the Soviet Union. There's a brilliant audio guide that gives detailed information and leads you through the exhibitions in either 1.5 or 2.5hrs, your choice. The variety of exhibits and the timeline they document is stunning, extremely interior and so well presented. There's also a free viewing platform on the roof of the building. Definitely don't skip this museum!
Bianca W — Google review
Fantastic museum! The permanent exhibition is excellent and very well laid out and informative. The audio guide is included in the price and again was very good. The museum is situated right at the heart of where the Solidarity movement started and holds such a vital piece of history in Europe. A must see attraction!
Matt S — Google review
Fascinating museum in a great building. Although I remember seeing the events on TV of Solidarnosc and martial law, this was a really interesting wider look at the power of protest and organisation and the huge impact of the events in Poland on the decline and disintegration of the Soviet bloc. The audio guide, included in the ticket, really helps. We had to rush through some parts as we were time limited but could easily have spent 2-3 hours here.

One of the best museums I have ever been to. Well worth it. Very informative. Normally can't be bothered with the Audio guide but gave it a go and well worth it. 2 hours well spent.

Very beautiful, new and interactive museum. It’s sad because the history wasn’t so good but it’s definitely worth visiting. Everyone should visit this museum while you’re in the Gdansk. You will get to choose from the 2 audio guides 1.5 and 2.5 hour one. We choosed the 1.5 hour one and we were there for 3 hours. Also I personally recommend buying tickets in the advance so you be don’t need to wait a long line for buying tickets.

Fantastic museum! Holds a very powerful story, not just for Poland but for all of the democratic world. Other than the story and history, the architecture and build of the museum is sturdy with an industrial structure. I loved how you are encouraged to touch everything, different to other museums where you have to be extra careful. Be sure to take the official picture by Gate 2, where the solidarity movement exited the shipyard.

Mariacka is a charming cobblestone pedestrian promenade in Gdansk, lined with historic buildings featuring terraces and regal portals. This delightful street, often used as a backdrop for period movies, had to be reconstructed after suffering extensive damage during World War II. The entrances to the narrow merchant houses are on small terraces above the street level, where restaurants also offer seating with ornamental reliefs on low walls.
Lovely historical street with Amber jewellery. Highly recommended 👌

A charming street tucked away in the heart of Gdańsk’s Old Town, where history quietly whispers from every building. The architecture reflects centuries of heritage, with beautifully preserved facades and intricate details that invite you to slow down and take it all in. Lined with cozy cafés, artisan jewelry stores, and local boutiques, this street offers the perfect blend of culture and calm. Whether you’re looking to enjoy a peaceful coffee, browse handmade crafts, or simply take a scenic stroll, this little corner of the city delivers a timeless, relaxed atmosphere. In the evenings, soft lighting adds a magical glow to the cobblestones, making it a wonderful spot for a romantic walk or quiet reflection. A hidden gem for those who appreciate the quieter, more soulful side of the Old Town.
Vadym — Google review
One of the most beautiful streets I've seen in Poland and, in my opinion, the most visually unique in Gdańsk. After Stara Motława, it's the second most worth-seeing spot in the city. The narrow, tall facades of Gothic, Baroque, and Renaissance townhouses, adorned with stone porches, balustrades, gargoyles, and metalwork, are quite impressive. This, combined with the smaller (intimate) character of the street and the subtle display cases of amber jewelry, well-integrated into the architectural style, creates a very pleasant environment. The street is bordered on the west by St. Mary's Basilica and on the east by St. Mary's Gate, which leads to Stara Motława. You'll find mainly amber jewelry shops here.

The Museum of the Second World War, a striking and modern establishment that opened its doors in 2017, stands as a poignant tribute to Poland's experiences during one of history's darkest chapters. Located in Gdansk, the very city where WWII began, this museum offers visitors an immersive journey through the multifaceted impacts of the war.
Very cool museum. Well displayed information and things to look at. I recommend buying tickets in advance. The audio guide is very good also. The museum is very large and there are 18 rooms. This takes a minimum of 2 hours. Would recommend.
Daniel M — Google review
We went to the museum on a Tuesday afternoon, not realising that on Tuesdays, the museum is free to visit which is wonderful! We didn’t book or buy a ticket in advance, but it’s generally recommended to do so due to limitations of how many visitors are allowed in the museum at a time. When we arrived, the main entrance was closed with a few people arriving a bit before us. The people ahead of us asked a security guard for directions on how to get in, and they were told to form a queue near the main entrance, as there’s too many visitors at the moment. We waited about 10-15 minutes before being let in. I think that this system could be organised a lot better, as there were no signs or obvious indicators that we simply had to queue to be able to get inside, as the doors were closed and no representative was waiting outside. To get to the main exhibition, you have to go down to the very bottom floor, which has a souvenir shop, info desk, toilets, seating area, cafe, lockers for backpacks and a section to get an audio guide from. We got a free ticket by going to the info desk and also a small black coin to use in the lockers to store our larger bag (security at the entrance to the main exhibition will likely turn you away from the queue if you have a backpack). The main exhibition was very informative and laid out in a nice, logical way - lots of reading material, videos that played on repeat with subtitles, and pictures/items to view. Make sure to give yourself a few hours if you wish to not rush through the whole experience, it takes about 2-3 hours to go through the main exhibition. The top most floor has also a small exhibition, which covers a bit about the history of the site where the museum was built. Overall a very interesting museum, definitely worth a visit!

Thoroughly brilliant. As they say, "Education is everything." The whole experience from start to finish is sobering but we'll worth taking the time. It will take around 3 hours to go through each exhibition but it is well worth it. From the 1920's until the end of WW2, everything is explained in detail. Well worth the time to visit.

Great exhibition of world war 2. Hear about the lead up to the war, see the artifacts and learn how it all came to an end. Get the audio guide, it doesn't cost much. They have secure lockers on site. Take a drink for the tour. It takes a couple of hours and there's limited opportunities to buy refreshments during.

A wonderful exhibition of WWII history, depicting many facets of life in Poland during those years. Some parts can be emotionally harrowing, while being honest about events. We visited at a weekend which was busy, plus as independent visitors we got caught up in groups which impacts the ability to view exhibits. Having said that the place is a ‘not to be missed’ while visiting the museum.
David I — Google review
Massive museum this. Easy to find. Need a couple of hours to do the tour properly. It's more like a Second World War Tour. Than other museums. Did not book tickets in advance. But did end up queuing to buy them. So book in advance. Decent cafe on site as well. Entrance is downstairs. But there is a small lift as well. Place is huge inside. Does get busy at a Weekend. Would recommend not expensive and so good history to see.

Westerplatte is a historic site in Poland that holds great significance as the location of the first World War II invasion. The area features a grand stone monument and ruins of barracks, including Guardhouse No. 1, which has been transformed into a museum. This peninsula at the mouth of the Port Canal was where Polish soldiers valiantly defended the Military Transit Depot against overwhelming German forces in September 1939.
Great little boat trip up the river from old town Gdansk to Westerplatte through the Docks with interesting history commentary. A short walk from the Docks through the Polish old defences from the war and earlier to the memorial. Fascinating little museum in an old power station of how the first shots of the second world war took place and the gritty resistance the Polish put up against a superior surprise attack from the Nazi's. Nice trip under your own steam with lots of interesting information along the way.

A powerful and emotionally moving place — definitely worth a visit. Although some areas are currently under maintenance, access to the monument is open and easy. It was not difficult to find, and there is convenient parking nearby. You can also grab a quick bite in the area. While there were quite a few visitors, the space is large and well spread out, so it didn’t feel crowded.

Highly significant memorial to Poland and the start of WW2. Partly located in a wooded area, there are a number of things to see and there a number of noticeboards. Where you arrived by bus or car is pretty run down and there is little to do to entice you to stay longer or spend money. There is an hourly bus service back to Gdansk so plan carefully or you will be waiting around.

It is one of most iconic places in Poland. The historical story about Polish heroes soldiers and their heroism in Second World War again the Germans has a special place on history pages. However the site is missing a concept, information and explain about the battle. Except the main walkway to the momentum, the rest is partly not under scrutiny, missing sings and info, no information tourist stand, no maps, only few points have some basic information. The museum, which is half kilometer from main site is open only in summer. Too bad and disappointing.
Daryush H — Google review
Been here twice in the last 7 years, it's generally the same with a few minor additions. Either way it's a interesting place to visit after the war museum as it adds more context to the opening salvos of WW2. Theres the bunkers hidden behind the sight line from the open sea, they are a little less accessible than they were before, but still interesting. I believe the are more WWI era. So many signs and info that's very interesting and again adds the context needed to the visit. It's something that you can do in a few hours easily talking your time. The main barracks is there and destroyed, you can still access it which adds weight to the size of the assault. You used to be able to access more and go downstairs but due to the nature of the place it's no wonder you can't any more. It's then a short walk to the huge monument which is just as impressive as the first time I saw it. Well worth a visit and not far from Gdansk. About 15 minutes max in a Uber or Bolt.

(Translated by Google) We went through both rooms on offer and I must admit that the emotions were extreme. "Wednesday - Akademia Odwolągów" in Gdańsk is an absolute gem. The atmosphere, the puzzles, the execution - everything is at the highest level. Special applause for the Game Master, who perfectly introduced us to the plot and the whole world of peace - she did a really great job! The whole thing was coherent, logical and engaging from beginning to end. For us: 10/10! Encouraged by this great experience, we went to Tczew to see the "Blood of Vikings" room and... unfortunately, a huge disappointment. Despite the very nice host, the room itself disappointed us. Some of the mechanisms did not work properly despite being correctly installed. (The not fully working mechanism was probably due to its excessive sensitivity - everything had to be set absolutely perfectly, which, instead of adding realism, only irritated and frustrated the participants, even despite the correct solution of the puzzle). It took away the rhythm and took away the fun of the game. Additionally, the room was very dark - sometimes too dark - which made solving puzzles difficult and simply strained the eyes. But as they say, one swallow does not make a summer. We are looking forward to the next rooms to see where the level will match the magic of Gdańsk. We're counting on more gems like "Wednesday"! (Original) Przeszliśmy oba pokoje z oferty i muszę przyznać, że emocje były skrajne. „Wednesday – Akademia Dziwolągów” w Gdańsku to absolutna perełka. Klimat, zagadki, wykonanie – wszystko na najwyższym poziomie. Szczególne brawa dla Mistrzyni Gry, która perfekcyjnie wprowadziła nas w fabułę i cały świat pokoju – zrobiła naprawdę świetną robotę! Całość była spójna, logiczna i wciągająca od początku do końca. Dla nas: 10/10! Zachęceni tym świetnym doświadczeniem, pojechaliśmy do Tczewa na pokój „Krew Wikingów” i… niestety ogromne rozczarowanie. Mimo bardzo sympatycznej prowadzącej, sam pokój nas zawiódł. Część mechanizmów nie działała prawidłowo mimo poprawnego ułożenia. (Nie do końca działający mechanizm wynikał prawdopodobnie z jego nadmiernej czułości – wszystko musiało być ustawione absolutnie idealnie, co zamiast dodawać realizmu, potrafiło tylko irytować i frustrować uczestników, nawet mimo poprawnego rozwiązania zagadki). Wybijało to z rytmu i odbierało przyjemność z gry. Dodatkowo w pokoju było bardzo ciemno – momentami aż za bardzo – co utrudniało rozwiązywanie zagadek i po prostu męczyło oczy. Ale jak to mówią – jedna jaskółka wiosny nie czyni. Z niecierpliwością czekamy na kolejne pokoje, by sprawdzić, gdzie dalej poziom dorówna magii Gdańska. Liczymy na więcej takich perełek jak „Wednesday”!

(Translated by Google) I have been to many escape rooms, but I have never experienced such nice service anywhere. The lady working there talks about everything with great passion and spreads positive energy. Some puzzles (we were on Blood of the Viking) had to be worked through, but all the equipment worked well, unlike in some places, so if someone thinks logically, it shouldn't be a big problem. Personally, I highly recommend it and we will definitely come back again ❤️ (Original) Byłam w wielu escape roomach, ale tak miłej obsługi nigdzie nie zaznałam. Pani tam pracująca opowiada o wszystkim z wielką pasją i zaraża pozytywną energią. Nad niektórymi zagadkami (byliśmy na Krwi Wikinga) trzeba było się nagłowić, ale cały sprzęt działał dobrze nie jak w niektórych miejscach, więc jak ktoś logicznie pomyśli to nie powinien mieć dużego problemu. Osobiście serdecznie polecam i na pewno jeszcze wrócimy ❤️

(Translated by Google) Great Viking room, you need to think hard to solve it. The lady who was our game master was amazing! Lots of humor, positive experience. Plus for parking at the door. The only minus is payment only by Blitz or cash. We recommend! (Original) Super pokój Wikingów, trzeba się nieźle nagłowić żeby rozwiązać. Pani która była naszym game masterem niesamowita! Dużo humoru, pozytywne przeżycie. Plus za parking przy drzwiach. Jedyny minusik to płatność tylko blikiem lub gotówką. Polecamy!

(Translated by Google) Very nice place, we were in all the rooms. Our least favorite room was the "Blood of Vikings" room - it wasn't our cup of tea. It's a pity that the rooms have not been changed for years. A place worth visiting. (Original) Bardzo fajne miejsce, byliśmy we wszystkich pokojach. Najmniej podobał nam się pokój „Krew Wikingów” - nie nasza bajka. Szkoda tylko, że od lat pokoje nie są zmieniane. Miejsce warte odwiedzin.

The longest on whole Hel peninsula, renovated and well kept unfortunately apart from that there's nothing in vicinity, no cafés no bars so it kinda feel left alone. However it is perfect if you want to relax in silence.

Very nice pier to look at but very NOT safe for kids as they can easily fall through the lower part of the fences.

Beautiful views of Poland and the gulf, easy access to rest of Jurata. The street that the pier extends is populated by talented vendors of art and jewelry, a lot of ice cream, and Polish waffles.

Fokarium Stacji Morskiej im. Prof. Krzysztofa Skóry

Mentioned on

Nature & Parks
Museum
Fokarium Stacji Morskiej im. Prof. Krzysztofa Skóry is a seal sanctuary located by the beach, offering visitors a chance to see and interact with seals up close. The entrance fee is minimal and goes towards the conservation of the seals. While lacking English information, it provides an interesting experience for those who haven't seen seals before. Visitors recommend timing their visit during feeding times to see the playful tricks of the seals.
A really nice place, but be prepared to queue, especially near the feeding time. But it is definitely worth the wait - the seals are so lovely. The feeding show is really fun and lovely to watch, as is just observing the seals: they all have their own personalities and behave differently. They have a shop which is situated some 200 meters from the entrance (and really close to the exit). This is a place you should definitely visit!
Henri ( — Google review
If there’s no line, go in without thinking twice — the idea is great and the place itself is nice. But if there’s a line (more than 30 people in front of you), I honestly wouldn’t recommend it. Spending two hours under the sun just to get in, then waiting another hour inside, only to watch a ten-minute seal feeding show, isn’t really worth it. If you find a queue, you’re better off spending those three hours on the beach instead — you won’t be missing much.
Miguel C — Google review
Cool and educational but the info during feeding is provided in Polish only. Still worth it to view the adorable seals. Make sure to attend during the feeding which is 4 times a day or so. The tickets are valid for 30 minutes after the purchase.
Milka V — Google review
Seals are adorable and perform cute tricks for a fish. It’s definitely worth seeing their little show during feeding time. When I was there, it took place in the second pool, so make sure to find a good spot! Be careful when buying tickets – they cost 20 zloty per person, and you can pay by card at the machine. After printing your tickets, make sure to print the receipt as well! Both we and the couple before us received one ticket and one receipt instead of two tickets. Only after pressing the option to print the receipt did the second ticket come out. The main reason I’m not giving five stars is the complete lack of any information in English. Everything – the show, info panels, materials – is only in Polish. As a foreigner, you have no way (besides looking online) to learn about the great conservation work they’re doing there. That said, I wish the aquarium all the best – the seals deserve excellent caretakers and respectful visitors!
Eva U — Google review
Fokarium is something you should see when you are in Hel. They help injured seals, which is really positive and their seals are very playful. We stayed there until feeding time and it was quite nice experience. I would reccomend allowing buying tickets online in advance. This time it rained, so there was not many people waiting, we waited outside just few minutes. But there is another line inside to visit small museum (unfortunately only Polish description). We waited there another 15 minutes to get inside. It was worthy, you could sed seals swimming under the water.
Tomáš J — Google review
Its necessary to be in row in first 100 people, otherwise there will be no place to clear watch the show. Best places are on the bridge, but it fast full. Overall place is small for such big group of people.

Hel lighthouse

Sights & Landmarks
Historical landmark
The Hel lighthouse, located in Hel, Poland, is a time-tested working lighthouse that opens to the public during the summer months. Surrounded by historic keeper houses and set amidst a serene environment with plenty of trees, it offers visitors a stunning view. While not the most original on the outside, its interior boasts beautiful architecture including a photogenic spiral staircase. The area around the lighthouse provides opportunities for exploration and outdoor activities such as kite surfing.
One of the mains sights to visit while in Hel. A standard adult ticket is 12 pln. You take about 200 steps up and enjoy a very nice view both on the baltic sea and zatoka Pucka as well. Very beautiful! Highly recommend! *Be ready that last 10 steps are very steep. But I saw an elderly man on a crutch climbing up there on his own and getting down as well. Great respect! If he managed to do it, you'll be able too.

Couldn't climb top as there was some limit of entry and we were told to wait for some time around 1.30 PM. I went back side of the lighthouse meantime and explored the forest bush, it was good. Entry road to the lighhouse itself was good with lot of trees around and calm environment.
