Pier
Longest wooden pier in Europe
Whenever we wanted to leaver earlier classes, weather was nice and it is not summer (way too many people) we used to go to the pier. During good weather you can see Hel (peninsula), have a boat trip there or just relax with some drinks.
At the moment there are couple of restaurants and smaller shops so you can always eat something.
Unless you want to pay for entering the pier you should visit in the evening in summer or at any other season. Staying there in winter (just like any sitting in the beach in the winter in Poland) is something unforgettable.
Monte Cassino Street
It's a must if you are in Tricity (Gdansk, Sopot, gdynia) in Poland. You should start near the Church and Railway Station and go down towards wooden pier and the beach. This is heart and main street of Sopot with lots of restaurants and pubs where you can hide. One of my favourites is "Crooked House" ;) which original architecture makes whole place less serious.
It is in fact a beautiful street with many shops and restaurants to visit. It is very popular and one can no longer enjoy its beauty and it is never quiet there. You might like the skating ring at the end of it in the winder time.
It looks like something unreal – may be a surrealist painting or a cartoon but it is a real building. The most photographed building in Poland, the Crooked house is located in Rezydent shopping center in Sopot, Poland.
This 4,000 square meter house was designed by the Polish architect Szotynscy Zaleski, who got the inspiration from the fairytale illustrations of Jan Marcin Szancer and the artwork of Per Dahlberg. The special impression is given by colourful stained glass entrances, stone elevation decors and windows framed with sandstone. One more peculiar of the extraordinary building is a roof of blue-green enameled shingles designed to give the impression of a dragon. Moreover, it looks really fantastic at night when it is lighted. This is a great zest of the architect’s thought.
