Gdynia: Kościuszko Square
Built around a new seaport beside a former fishing village, Gdynia grew into one of Poland’s principal Baltic ports. Kościuszko Square forms the city’s ceremonial waterfront centre, extending toward the Southern Pier on the Bay of Gdańsk. It belongs to the compact modernist core created during the interwar period, when Gdynia expanded rapidly after Poland regained access to the sea. The nearby waterfront preserves two powerful maritime symbols: Dar Pomorza, the three-masted training ship now kept as a museum vessel, and ORP Błyskawica, a Polish destroyer launched in 1937. Broad quays, marina activity and the wooded rise of Kamienna Góra give this part of Gdynia a distinctly seafront character.

Gdańsk Bay defines the setting of Gdynia — its Baltic waters sustain a major port and shape a city whose daily rhythm remains tied to shipping, ferries and the waterfront. Developed rapidly after Poland regained independence, Gdynia received city rights in 1926 and became a key Polish seaport during the interwar period. Its centre is noted for early modernist architecture, while the museum ships ORP Błyskawica and Dar Pomorza recall the city’s maritime identity. South of the centre, the wooded Kępa Redłowska reserve and Orłowo Cliff bring the coast close to urban life.

Pomeranian Voivodeship has served as an administrative region within Poland since 1999. Stretching from the Baltic coast to the wooded Kashubian Lake District, it brings together Poland’s maritime north and an inland country of lakes and forests. The Vistula reaches the sea near Gdańsk, while the coast includes the shifting dunes of Słowiński National Park. Gdańsk, a historic Baltic port and member of the Hanseatic League, anchors the Tri-City urban area with Sopot and Gdynia. Kashubian language and traditions remain an important part of the region’s identity, particularly west of Gdańsk.

Poland stretches from the Baltic Sea coast in the north to the Carpathian Mountains along its southern frontier, encompassing broad lowlands, lake districts and upland ranges. The Vistula, the country’s longest river, links Kraków and Warsaw before reaching the Baltic near Gdańsk, while the Masurian Lake District is defined by a dense network of lakes. Kraków’s historic centre, including Wawel Castle, recalls Poland’s former royal capital; Warsaw’s rebuilt Old Town speaks to the city’s recovery after the Second World War. The Białowieża Forest preserves one of Europe’s last primeval lowland forests and is home to European bison. Follow how Poland’s regions relate to one another by browsing webcams across the country.
