Overview

You will explore this historic spa resort town with a local architect learning the ins and outs of the charming community of Sopot. From the longest wooden pier in Europe to a Villa where Chopin visited and played, you will be amazed and inspired throughout the tour. You will hear fun stories and be presented with facts which relate to the development from a fishermen village to a glamorous spa resort well known all over Europe in the 1920-30s. I am a certified tour guide of the Sopot Tourist Association. My family has been settled here since March 1945 and I offer you a private experience. Let’s take a tour! It can be a walking tour, but it is quite easy to rent bikes and take a bike tour. The bike tour is also fun and you can see even more! I will help you with pleasure with the rental:)

What To Expect

Monte Cassino

The first pedestrian street in Poland, famous all over the country even today. Back in the time it was the main road to the sea and the fishermen of the small village of Sopot used to take it to go to the sea. There are a lot of stories to tell and I will show you historical pictures so you can see how the center of Sopot has changed over the centuries.

An 18th century building, former guest house of a big manor house. The interiors are interesting, it has a nice back garden, you will like the authenticity of a calm location off the beaten track. You will find here a bust of Fryderyk Chopin as he very probably stayed here when being on holiday and played piano.

Passing on a picturesque bridge over a deep ravine we will get to a street whose first name was Villas Street. The oldest house here is from 1881 and people love the classical architecture style it has.There are more houses to look at and a lot of stories behind the walls… Let’s reveal that in the second part of the 20th century this street was nicknamed “Poland's Montmartre”.

Goyki 3 Art Inkubator

One of the biggest villas is from the late 19th century, the Tower Villa has a long and rather sad story accompanied with a tone of music. It was built by a merchant for its family. Today you will find an art institution in this Alpine Resort style building. Why does the building refer to an Alpine Resort when built so far from the Alps and in a seaside resort and not a mountain one? I will tell you about the European spa resorts trend that started in the 18th century in the park surrounding the villa.

Jana Jerzego Haffnera (Pass By)

Sopot is said to have the richest complex of spa architecture in Europe. We will take a walk to discover what that means and what this architecture looks like.This is also the neighborhood where a great artist lives. His name is Per Oscar Gustav Dahlberg. You might want to stop by his house and studio and buy some of his graphics or the album presenting Sopot or Gdańsk architecture - just let me know whether it sounds interesting and I will possibly arrange a meeting :) He is Swedish and decided to move to Sopot in 1996 when fell in love with this place. There is a quite famous “crooked house” in Sopot whose design was inspired by his drawings!
