Available in Poland, on the shore Baltic Sea a wonderful place to relax - Tricity (Trójmiasto), Three cities together, Tri-City: Sopot (41 thousand inhabitants), Gdynia (127 thousand inhabitants), Gdansk (461 thousand inhabitants). This is the tourist agglomeration of the 1000-year-old Free City of Danzig (now Gdańsk).

Where to relax in Poland in summer?

Blissful lazing on the beach combined with a stroll along St Mary's Street and Long Street. The street is crowned on one side by the Golden Gate, on the other by the Kogi Gate (today Green Gate), where there is a solid bridge that can be lowered to big ships. Next to the royal houses are the houses of the most worthy patricians, merchants and people who held high positions.

Festive parades and noisy fireworks were held here. Between the Neptune Fountain and the Town Hall is the Târgu Long Market. Long Market - This place in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries also carried out executions of witches, heretics and criminals who were only nobles or legal citizens. The rest were executed on Mount Szubieniczej or in prison. The next attraction worth seeing is the charming long bridge, and opposite the Island of Breadbaskets and the Maritime Museum, which is located on the island of Ołowianka. Here is the building of the Polish Baltic Philharmonic.

Continuing your walk along the harbor you will reach the port of Motlawa. A little further to the Swan Tower and the pirate ship Galleon Lew. On the embankment there is a crane and St. Mary's Gate, behind them is the archaeological museum. The museum has an observation tower from which a magnificent panorama of Gdansk opens. Behind the Amber Museum stands a monumental temple - the Basilica of the Virgin Mary, one of the largest brick churches in the world.

You can taste the delicacies of Gdańsk cuisine in numerous taverns, cafes, and restaurants. There are also youth clubs and the famous cabaret - Kabaret Evan. This is a great place for thrill seekers. The cabaret is located near the Great Armory, on the right. And next to the statue of King John III Sobieski is the National Theater, which rivals the dramatic scenes of Warsaw and Krakow.

Royal Road Krakow Ceremonial route of the kings

When visiting Gdansk, we cannot ignore the place where the struggle against the policies of socialism began. This is, of course, the Gdansk Shipyard. Solidarity Square is not far from the place where three former shipyard workers died in December 1970. Now on this site there is a monument - three crosses with anchors, the Monument to the fallen shipyard workers. Nearby, on a hill, at a height of 50 m above sea level, there is a station - a modern interactive Hewelianum center has been formed on the site of the former fortress.

In Gdansk you can also visit National Museum, Wisłoujście fortress and Westerplatte peninsula. Wisłoujście is difficult to reach on foot, you can use public transport - bus 106 and tram routes. Returning from the peninsula, you can use the ferry to cross the Vistula Dead River in the area of ​​the new port, and visit the lighthouse of the Gdansk Nowy port.

It would be wrong to visit Gdansk and not visit one of the most charming places - Oliva Park (open from 05.00 to 23.00). There is a cathedral here where you can listen to organ music. Walking along the alleys of the park and the valleys of Paradyż, you can visit the Palm House (Palm House was founded in 1910, and in 1956 it became botanical garden), Abbot's Palace, Ethnographic Museum, Oliva Zoo.

In 1831, the Prussian King Frederick II transferred the park and palace into the ownership of the Hohenzollern family. Since 1860, the park became a public park and was open to residents. To this day, it is a favorite place for city residents to relax and take a walk.

Every person deserves a decent rest after such a trip. Nothing is more relaxing than relaxing on the seashore, and whoever has time, even during just one day, you can sunbathe, admire the sunset or the waves.

Yet there is nothing as inspiring as the open element of space that is water. A map of the beaches of Gdansk, Gdynia, Sopot will certainly help you get to the beach. Tickets for the water bus or pedal boat (catamaran) to travel from Gdańsk to Gdynia, Hel or Sopot can be purchased at Fish market or at the ticket office from the pier. ticket price 20 zlotys (discount 10 zlotys); bicycle - 3 zlotys.

But that's not all... Denmark, Ireland... While vacationing in Gdansk, you can visit Scandinavia. Tempting?

Full list Short list

Poland seems to me an underrated country Russian tourists, at least, most of my friends do not come here specifically, but only sometimes make their European routes. And in vain. This is a country with history, wonderful cuisine and amazing hospitality. Of course, Poland extends its hospitality to the youngest tourists - children. I can’t count how many times my daughter and I have been here, and every time our vacation was filled with impressions, comfort and joy.

We and our child were always surrounded by care both from hotel and cafe workers, and local residents, which, as it seemed to us, love children very much and are happy to have such guests. Therefore, I can confidently recommend Poland to everyone who travels with their child for your joint vacation.

General nuances

Planning

In order for the holiday to be positive for children, it must also be so for parents. From my own experience I can say that to organize interesting trip You can do it with a child of any age, the main thing is not to overload him and yourself. Don’t worry about making the trip perfect: children have different moods. For example, sometimes instead of a museum we could spend the whole day at the playground near the hotel. Be prepared for any turns. Don’t try to cover everything at once; think over your route in advance and choose the places you definitely want to visit, and visit the rest if possible.

I am sure that it is not necessary to choose only children's entertainment: after all, recreation should be interesting for adults too. Of course, it’s unlikely that your baby will be ready to spend hours walking with you around castles or historical centers, but with a small, lightweight stroller and a couple of new toys, you’ll most likely be able to visit several of these attractions. You can already try to come to an agreement with an older child. We usually divide our holidays into parent and child ones, for example, in the morning we go to the museum, and in the afternoon to the water park.

Road and transport

You can get to Poland from Russia in any available way; you can read more about this in this. In my opinion and experience, the most inconvenient option is a bus: firstly, customs control takes a long time, even adults will have time to get tired, and secondly, the child is forced to spend the entire journey in one position, there is no opportunity to walk, like on an airplane or train , and even more so stop and walk, as if you were driving a car.


Our family lives in Kaliningrad, and since the Polish border is about fifty kilometers away, we travel by car. To get there from the main part of Russia, I would choose a plane. I didn’t travel by train, but according to reviews from my friends, this method is also quite convenient.

It seems to me that in order for the road to be calm and positive, you need to take care of some things:

  1. Food. Regardless of what kind of transport you take, you will definitely want to eat, and if you can cope with your feeling of hunger, then an unfed child will definitely be unhappy and in a bad mood. That is why in my children's bag I always have cookies, dried fruits, vegetable purees, in general, what the baby is used to eating every day. Of course, you need to take small, sealed packages, especially on an airplane, where there are strict transportation rules, but on our flights they treated food for the child with loyalty and only once put out an open bottle of water. By the way, take the water with a special children's cap: you will be protected from unnecessary changes of clothes.
  2. Cloth. We rarely went on a trip without spilled juice or a banana smeared on a T-shirt, so take at least one set of clothes with you. And if you travel in the cold season, then it is convenient to replace bulky shoes with warm socks along the way.
  3. Lessons in transport. The road is a long and sedentary task, so think about what the child will do in a limited space. Some time before the trip, you can choose a new one as a gift or hide a few of your baby’s favorite toys. Finding them later on the plane, the child can get very carried away. Take markers and small colored notebooks, and don’t forget to download a couple of cartoons to your tablet. This point is definitely worth paying attention to, because a capricious, bored child can ruin the road not only for you.

In general, Poland is a country where it is worth driving a car, and if you have the opportunity to rent a car, then take advantage of it immediately (you can see offers and prices). The roads in the country are good, and the distances are not too long, the only negative is the price of fuel, gasoline is twice as expensive.

Moving from place to place with a child in a car is more convenient than even in the most comfortable bus. Primarily because you can stop when necessary. Children's playgrounds, found on Polish highways near cafes and gas stations, will be very useful. Sometimes whole ones come across entertainment centers with carousels and a zoo, such as on the route from Gdansk to (photo above).

Accommodation

I advise you to choose a place to stay overnight in advance. Find out about a baby cot, if you need one, and whether there are additional payments for those traveling with a child. Although I have not encountered any demands to pay for a separate place for the baby, I have heard that this sometimes happens. We usually chose apartments with a kitchen: our daughter eats in different time, and we often had dinner at home if the day was busy and we didn’t want to go somewhere, so it was important for me that I could cook something quickly.

Nutrition

There were no problems with food in Poland. We started our travels to this country with our daughter when she was about two years old. Many cafes have a children's menu, although all sorts of spices and sauces are added to the dishes, but when we asked to remove something, they usually met us halfway. My daughter liked the local dumplings, or pierogi as they are called here, and she devoured them with pleasure. We also bought baby products like vegetable or fruit purees in Poland, and they are no different from Russian ones, so you will always find something to feed your child.

What else

I advise you to take your usual medications with you, firstly, children begin to get sick spontaneously, and sometimes there is no time to get their bearings in a foreign country, and secondly, many medications in the European Union are sold only by prescription. I usually pack a first aid kit with the essentials, and it doesn’t take up much space in my luggage. Take a thermometer with you to measure your temperature, the one you always use. I take a simple thermometer, and it fits perfectly in the glove compartment, without disturbing anyone or risking being broken.

Where to go

If you think about any specific holiday destination in Poland, then there is complete freedom. You can go enjoy nature or explore cities - both you and your child will find entertainment.


All at least somewhat touristic places are prepared, in my opinion, quite well for welcoming children. The sidewalks are smooth, it’s easy to move around with a stroller, the only thing that can get in the way is a large number of people moving along the road with you. It’s rare that a cafe doesn’t offer a highchair for children; almost everywhere there are coloring books and pencils, toys or entire playrooms. Next, I will tell you what entertainment awaits you and your child on the most common tourist routes in Poland.

Zakopane

The first place for a children's holiday in this wonderful country that comes to mind is winter capital Poland. Although, this place is wonderful at any time of the year. One of my favorite Polish cities, suitable for children of all ages. If your child is still very young, then you can simply enjoy walks and breathe the mountain air. There are no industries around, so it is fresh and clean.


If your child is already a little older, then play on the playgrounds, ride horses in Krupówka or go somewhere.

Water park (Aqua Park Zakopane) and thermal center (Terma Bania)

The Zakopane water park has a good children's area, many slides for teenagers and in general it is very nice and cool. But, besides this water amusement park, 20 kilometers from Zakopane there is a wonderful thermal center. There's not a lot of fun for kids, but the warm water and stunning views from the outdoor outdoor pool will also delight parents. This center is called Terma Bania, it is divided into three zones, so noisy games with children will not interfere with anyone’s relaxation and rest.

Skiing

Older children should be introduced to skiing, for example, in Szymoskova Polyana there is an excellent slide for beginner skiers and snowboarders; you can also find a Russian-speaking instructor.


There is a training program here, upon completion of which a special certificate is issued confirming completion of the course. Such preparation costs 185 EUR (780 PLN). In general, Zakopane has many trails for beginners, so it is a great place for children.

Tatra Museum

If you want to go to museums, choose the Tatra Museum, whose exhibits tell about the life, culture of the population, as well as the local nature. Costumes, tools, furniture, musical instruments typical of the region, as well as stuffed animals are presented, but in my opinion they look a little creepy. Here children are welcome and are even allowed to touch many objects at the exhibitions, of course, so as not to damage them.

Krakow

A trip to Zakopane can be combined with a visit to Krakow - ancient capital Poland - very cozy city, steeped in the history of Polish kings. It is located just over a hundred kilometers from, and if you are not by car, you can appreciate the convenience of Polish buses. Krakow is not only large Polish city, but also one of the centers of tourism, so there is a lot of entertainment for children here.

Zoo (Krakow Zoo)

Although it is small, it is cozy and located in a very interesting place called the Volsky Forest. There are also hiking and cycling routes, beloved by the townspeople.

An adult ticket costs about 4 EUR (18 PLN), but we were allowed in for free because the cashier was not there.

Energylandia Park

Visit the Energylandia center near Krakow in the town of Zator. This is a huge amusement park with a huge number of attractions for both children and adults. Here you buy one ticket, which is valid for all carousels. For children under three years old you will pay a symbolic 0.23 EUR (1 PLN), for children up to 140 centimeters tall - 14 EUR (59 PLN), for others the ticket will cost 25 EUR (109 PLN). Discounts apply to disabled people, pregnant women and birthdays.

The Museum Of Municipal Engineering

In Krakow there is interesting museum, where education and entertainment are perfectly combined, is the Museum of Urban Engineering. The building in which it is located used to be a tram depot, then it was adapted for exhibition purposes. The museum has several permanent exhibitions; our daughter liked the one about cars the most. I think this place is more suitable for visiting with children over three years old. Ticket costs 2.5 EUR (10 PLN), family (two adults, two children) - 7 EUR (30 PLN). A tour in Russian will cost 11.5 EUR (50 PLN). Read more about Krakow.

Warsaw

If you want to go to the Polish capital, then it will not disappoint you either and is suitable for a child. Of course, it’s not my favorite city, and (this is subjective, of course) not the most beautiful, but still it’s a modern metropolis with diverse architecture and rich history. So this city definitely deserves attention.

Copernicus Science Center

In my opinion, this is the most interesting entertainment in the city, and although I am no longer a child, I go there with great pleasure.


It’s not worth bringing a baby to this place, but a slightly older child is fine. This is a large center where your children can get acquainted with various physical phenomena, optical illusions, anatomy, astrology and other sciences. There is complete freedom here, you can touch, move everything, conduct experiments yourself, in general, there are no restrictions.


The only barrier may be language; all descriptions of how to use the exhibits are in Polish and English, sometimes Russian is found, but not everywhere. If your child has not yet mastered a foreign language, then your help will be useful to him, although much is intuitive, and even if you cannot read anything, it will still be interesting. Our daughter often thinks about this center, and although we spent almost 7 hours there, we still didn’t cover a lot. By the way, I advise you to come here early in the morning before opening, at 9 am. It is unlikely that even in this case you will avoid the queue, but at least you will have time to get inside. If you arrive in the afternoon, you may simply not have time to enter the center.


The scientific complex has a shop, a cafe and a children's playroom, for which you will be given a ticket at the box office when purchasing a ticket. To prevent children from crowding in the playroom, all visitors are divided into groups, and the ticket will indicate what time you can come to the children's room. We got there about three hours after we entered the museum. IN play child will be able to not only have fun and run around, but also learn a lot of interesting things, for example, what the world looks like through the eyes of a dog or snake. A ticket to the Copernicus Center costs 6.3 EUR (27 PLN), a family ticket for two adults and two children will cost 16.8 EUR (72 PLN).

Roof Garden (Warsaw University Library Roof Garden)

It’s worth taking your child to the park on the roof of the library, it’s very close to the science center. Don't be afraid of the heights, everything is fenced and safe. it will be revealed to you beautiful view to the surrounding area, and you can relax on a bench surrounded by beautiful flowers and other plants.

There aren't any interesting entertainment, but it's a great place for you to relax on the grass while your little one runs and plays.

Warsaw City Center

Take a walk around historical center definitely go, but there are dangers for your parents’ wallet: literally at every step souvenir shops, toys, balls and giant soap bubbles for half a euro.


My daughter’s eyes simply ran wild, and by the end of the walk our cash reserves were a little depleted.

Waterpark Wodny Park

In general, judging by our daughter, you can visit water parks in any city. If your child also loves water activities, then he will definitely like it at the Warsaw Aquatic Center. We were in a place called Wodny Park, where, by the way, the only Olympic swimming pool in the city is located.


The water park itself has slides, a jacuzzi, a fast-flowing river, in general, everything that children usually look for in such centers. Parents can take turns enjoying the SPA: available here different types massage or other treatments. A ticket to the water park for the whole day from Monday to Friday costs 21.5 EUR (92 PLN), and on Saturday, Sunday and holidays- 31 EUR (133 PLN).

Gdansk, Sopot, Gdynia

The following is very common tourist place in Poland it is the Tricity: Gdansk and Gdynia. With children I would live in Sopot, a small town on the Baltic coast.


It is fresh, clean, there is a place to walk, some even swim in the summer, although the sea is not too warm. In general, these three cities can be covered at one time, since they are very close to each other, and entertainment can be chosen throughout the Tricity.

Loopy's World Entertainment Center

This is a large children's entertainment center in Gdańsk. There are many attractions, slides, cars, dry pools and all sorts of other interesting fun. Adults can relax with a cup of coffee or join the children and have fun with them. For a child under three years old, the ticket price is 9.3 EUR (40 PLN), for others - 10.7 EUR (46 PLN). An adult accompanying a child can enter for free.

Adventure Park

I would take an older child to the Adventure Park in Gdynia. This is a place for sporty children who love thrills, and for parents who want to be sure that such entertainment is safe. There is a rope park with a height of 10 to 20 meters, ATVs, horses, a climbing wall, a shooting range and much more. For younger children there are inflatable trampolines, another small ropes course and a traditional playground with a sandbox. For each type of entertainment you need to buy separate ticket. Prices are very different: from 8 to 30 EUR, fun for kids is cheaper: from 2 to 8 EUR.

Children's goods stores

In Gdansk and Gdynia, I advise you to visit the children's store Mama i Ja: there is a huge selection of all kinds of toys for children of any age, both parents and kids will be amazed. Well, what children don’t like toys? Another store I liked is Akpol Baby in Gdansk. There is a huge assortment of all kinds of goods: clothes, feeding supplies, baby monitors and everything else. The store constantly has some promotions and sales on different groups goods, so there is also an opportunity to save.

Water parks

There are water parks in Sopot and Gdynia, of which we were only in Sopot (I can’t count how many times). There is a good area for children, with several slides for both very young children and those who have already grown up a little. There is a jacuzzi, the main pool is not too deep, I think 1.3 meters; Around the children's area you can relax in a sun lounger, there are quite a lot of them, and we always found a free one. The prices are very affordable: an hour in the water park from Monday to Friday costs 4.7 EUR (20 PLN), 3 hours - 9.3 EUR (40 PLN), a day ticket - 11.7 EUR (50 PLN). On weekends and holidays, the price of visiting the water park is slightly higher: one hour costs 5.4 EUR (23 PLN), three hours - 10.5 EUR (45 PLN), a day ticket - 14.2 EUR (60 PLN). For children under 16 years of age and adults over 65 years of age there is a discount on a ticket of approximately 1.2 EUR (5 PLN), a child under three years old is admitted free of charge.

Zoo (Oliwa Zoo)

There is a wonderful zoo in Gdansk. The territory is large, but it is possible to get around it; if you are traveling with a stroller, then there should be no problems at all. For the especially lazy, a train rides around the park for an additional fee. There are cafes and places to relax. There are many open enclosures, the animals are very interesting to watch, some come close to visitors and even pose for photos. A ticket costs about 5.8 EUR (25 PLN).

Gdansk City Center

Gdansk in general is very beautiful city, of the Polish ones, it is at least one of the most impressive, and largely thanks to the perfectly preserved historical center. Be sure to take a walk along it.


I advise you to go to the Motlawa River embankment. Here you can ride a boat or a motor ship, the duration of the trips and the price are very different, so choosing a suitable route for yourself will not be a problem. If you don’t want to swim, there are ships at the pier with restaurants where you can have dinner overlooking the river.


Another interesting memory for both us and our daughter was visiting the Christmas market in Gdansk. In general, the city during this period was beautiful: a huge Christmas tree, thousands of lights made for real fabulous place, even more mesmerizing than usual. At the fair there were children's carousels, a lot of delicious food, unusual or traditional souvenirs and an attractive holiday atmosphere. Be sure to try to come during the Christmas period.

Malbork

Marienburg Castle (Malbork Castle Museum)

Malbork is famous for Marienburg, one of the largest medieval monuments Poland. After the Great Patriotic War, it was almost completely destroyed, but the Poles restored it.

The castle is very large, you can easily plan a whole day to visit it. There are Russian-speaking guides, and I advise you to use them, because the history of this place is very rich.

Dinosaur Park Dino Park

Malbork itself is a small city, and there is not much entertainment here. You can take your child to the park of moving dinosaurs, which is called Dino Park. In addition to dinosaurs, there is a rope park, a fossil museum, attractions, and trampolines. A regular ticket per person costs 6 EUR (26 PLN), a family ticket for two adults and one child will cost 16.6 EUR (71 PLN).

Torun, Bydgoszcz, Grudziadz

If you like beautiful European cities, but are not delighted with the crowds, then I recommend that you visit Toruń, Bydgoszcz and Grudziadz. You can choose any of them for accommodation: these are fairly quiet places, and hotel prices are not too different. We lived in Bydgoszcz, although I liked Torun most of all - a very beautiful medieval town that was not damaged during the Second World War and was preserved in its original form.


Be sure to take time to visit the castles and the historical center, it is not too big and the children should not be too tired.

Jura Park Dinosaur Park

Among children's entertainment, near Toruń in the town of Solec Kujawski there is a dinosaur park, Jura Park. There are about a hundred models in it. Some seem like harmless lizards, while others are a little scary even for adults, but it’s interesting.


In addition to dinosaurs, there are paid and free attractions, souvenir shops, cafes and a play area. In summer, a ticket costs 5.8 EUR (25 PLN), in winter - 4.2 EUR (18 PLN).

Torun gingerbread (Torun's gingerbread)

Another local attraction is the Toruń gingerbread. a true legend cities. In the center there is a special gingerbread shop with different fillings, chocolate and many other variations.


To be honest, we didn’t like it, even our sweet-toothed daughter didn’t eat it, but try it anyway: everyone has different tastes, maybe you’ll like a local gastronomic celebrity.

Bydgoszcz City Center

The city of Bydgoszcz, 46 kilometers from Toruń, is also worthy of attention. A very pleasant place, although I didn’t experience any special emotions, except perhaps the joy of meeting street performers, their music inspired and lifted my spirits for the whole day, and Poles and tourists started dancing right on the bridge near the tightrope walker’s monument.


It's a cute Polish town, but it's a little hard for me to form any idea of ​​it other than "a nice Polish town."

Central square with a fountain - favorite place for children's running competitions, and the monument also attracts the attention of children.

Kids Play Children's Center

Among the places worth visiting in Bydgoszcz I would like to highlight child Center Kids Play - two floors of entertainment for children of any age, many carousels, a trampoline, a dry pool and much more. By the way, we also thought about the parents: it’s convenient to watch the children, soft sofas, coffee or tea, free Internet.


From Monday to Thursday, an hour of play will cost 2.8 EUR (12 PLN), an unlimited ticket will cost 4.7 EUR (20 PLN). From Friday to Sunday, a ticket for an hour will cost 3.5 EUR (15 PLN), and a ticket for the day will cost 5.8 EUR (25 PLN). If you want someone to look after your child, the price of the service is 3.5 EUR (15 PLN) on weekdays and 4.7 EUR (20 PLN) from Friday to Sunday.

Geothermal center Geotermia

In the city of Grudziadz, which is 70 kilometers from Bydgoszcz, the most interesting and popular place- These are geothermal salt pools, they are called Geotermia. They are designed for bathing both children and adults; Several pools are available, differing in temperature and salt concentration. Such baths, as it is written on the center’s website, are useful for everyone and help with stress, insomnia, respiratory diseases and many other ailments; for prevention, of course, they are also good. Hour at geothermal pools costs only 4.2 EUR (18 PLN), two hours - 6 EUR (26 PLN), unlimited stay - 9.3 EUR (40 PLN).

Masurian lakes

I also cannot ignore or recommend the Masurian Lakes region. This region is also called the Masurian Lake District: about two thousand bodies of water surrounded by forests, natural parks and nature reserves. An excellent place for a calm, measured holiday. Most Popular resort towns- these are Gizycko, Mikolajki, Ilawa, Ryn. Of the places listed, we were only in Mikołajki, the center of Polish yachting.

Yacht rental

You can rent a boat with a crew and create your own route, or ride with a group of tourists. I think that for a child who loves boat trips, any of the options will be interesting.


Of course, long-term yacht rental is not a cheap pleasure, but renting a yacht for a short time motor boat It's not that difficult. A 30-minute ride will cost from 35 EUR (150 PLN) to 70 EUR (300 PLN) depending on the chosen vessel.

Tropicana Waterpark

The water park in Mikołajki has long been a favorite among residents Kaliningrad region who come here on weekends. It is called Tropikana and is located on the territory of the Golebiewski Hotel. The water park is wonderful, there is a children's area, different pools and slides for all ages. Hotel guests enjoy water center free of charge, for everyone else the entrance costs 7 EUR (30 PLN), for a child - 3.5 EUR (15 PLN), and children under four years old visit the Tropicana for free.

I hope that after reading the article you are convinced that traveling to Poland with children is possible and even necessary. I have listed only those places that we visited during our travels to this country; I am sure that in Poland you will be able to find even more interesting things for you and your child.

Anything to add?

Beautiful for its nature and history. At any time of the year you can have a wonderful holiday in this wonderful country. Poland has castles, parks, sea and mountains - what more could you dream of?;)

So, let's begin. Since you are from Kaliningrad, you have probably already seen enough of the Baltic Sea, however, you should not immediately deny yourself viewing the sea from the Polish shore. Gdansk, Gdynia and - three seaside towns, which is popularly called Trójmiasto (Triple City). There are a huge number of hotels, spas, beaches, concert venues(for festivals that are held there almost every week).

If you get tired of social life, move to the streets of Gdansk - such beauty cannot be ignored


This is such a beautiful coast of the Baltic Sea.

You can easily get to Gdansk from Kaliningrad by bus or, what I recommend, by blablacar (blablacar.com)

Let's move to the heart of Poland - Warsaw. Starówka is here for you ( Old city) and high-rise buildings up to the clouds, Soviet and bourgeois architecture adjacent in unison, as well as parks, castles, clubs, metro, shopping centers and traffic jams.


Warsaw is a must-visit, if only to understand the rhythm and energy of the whole country

Now let's talk about southern Poland and the Tatra Mountains. Located on the very border with Slovakia a beautiful city. If you are planning your trip in winter, then you should definitely come here immediately.

Do you agree, it’s fascinating? In winter, here you can rent a house, rent skis or a snowboard, stroll through fairs, drink mulled wine or enjoy the taste of smoked cheese, traditional for these places.


The cheapest way to get to Kaliningrad is by Blablacar or by bus and train (with a transfer in Warsaw)

Of course, it is worth mentioning cities such as Wroclaw, Poznan. These cities are famous for their architecture, churches and castles. These cities are included in almost all tourist routes in Europe, so I won’t focus on them.

Let me add this. If you travel from Kaliningrad to Poland by car, find time to visit small town Malburg. It is located near the border - Russia. This small town is home to a charming castle


Be sure to visit Poland, because it has so many beautiful things!;)

Of course, we won’t talk about temperatures close to 30 degrees plus. For this . “Warm” will be considered in comparison with normal summer temperature values. Thus, the water temperature, according to many years of research in the Baltic Sea, ranges from 9°C to 22°C in summer. And if a value of 9 degrees is more suitable for winter swimmers, then 18 and above are absolutely normal temperatures for swimming. Especially when on land it’s up to 34°C in the shade, and this happens in the Baltic every summer. The water temperature here is quite dependent on currents. It is difficult to go wrong with swimming, since the beaches in Poland are mostly supervised by lifeguards and are equipped with signs indicating the water temperature. If swimming is not allowed, this is indicated with a special flag. Rescuers on boats approach swimmers and inform them that they must leave the water until the ban is lifted. But there are places where the temperature is more or less stable. About them below.

Hel

Despite the fact that this is where Poland begins (or ends, depending on who you choose) and there is only one sea around, oddly enough, the water here has a fairly stable temperature. There are no sudden changes in currents here due to the underwater landscape. Hel by nature it is elevated and its surroundings, especially those that lie on the other side of the open sea, are the warmest from the point of view of water. Kuźnice (Forge) can be called very good example in this plan.

Chałupy Welcome To! – sang in the eighties and nineties in Poland. Chalupy is perhaps the most famous village in the country, but not so much because of the beaches themselves. Rather, thanks to the nudists who chose these places shortly after the Second World War. So Chalupy became a household name thanks to nudist beaches in Poland. It is worth noting that naturalists settled in Chalupy for a reason. The beaches are clean and the water here is beautiful. You don’t need to know how to swim; you can walk in the water for a long time and still remain waist-deep in it. It is this shallow depth, and even in the sun, that makes local beaches look like Mediterranean resorts. Nowadays you will see nudists here less often, but there are more than enough kiters. It is better to book hotel rooms in advance.

Władysławowo, Puck

The beauty of this place is also the Puck Bay (Zatoka Pucka). It is shallow, and therefore warms up in the summer to that same 22°C absolutely calmly. Puck is not a very popular tourist town. All because it has no access to open sea. But you and I are wondering where it’s warmer. It's warmer here. Vladislavovo has a beach facing the open sea, but towards the same Halup, just a kilometer from Vladislavovo, the beaches of the Gulf of Puck begin. There are fewer people here than on the beach in Vladislavovo itself, and a slightly different, more homely and calm atmosphere.

All of the above resorts have an important advantage for tourists from Russia. In particular, from the Kaliningrad region, because they fall under the visa-free border regime. If we ignore the Hel Spit, then there is also a place to swim in the warm Baltic water. Here the bottom topography and current play an important role.

Ustka

Thanks to the shallow water coastline, on which there are widely spread beautiful beaches Ustka is a wonderful place to relax. Precisely for relaxation, because unlike the popular Kołobrzeg, it is quiet and peaceful here. And since we are also interested in water temperature, here it rises above 17°C more often than in Kołobrzeg. Although there, of course, it’s good. But it should be noted that the Polish residents themselves praise Ustka, giving it preference when choosing seaside resort. Especially in the last couple of years.

Kopań (Kopań - lake)

Not quite the sea, but 100 meters from it. In the Darłowo commune there is the salt-water lake Kopan. It is separated from the sea by a small strip of land and connected to the sea by a canal through which water from the sea flows into the lake during a storm. This is why the water in the lake is salty. In fact, Kopan is every child’s beach dream. Surely, sitting on the beach, everyone dug a “pool” or pond connected to the sea by a canal. Water was filled into such a pool and it was like sitting in a hot spring, because compared to the sea, the water in it was really hot. The depths of Lake Kopan are very small - from 2 to 4.9 meters. Accordingly, it warms up well. This has its own charm; you can swim in the sea when it’s hot, and when it’s a little cooler - in the lake. Two pleasures in one. That’s why the lake-sea ended up on our list of Polish seaside holiday destinations.

Łeba (Leba)

Lake Łebsko, which is similar in nature, formed by the Leba River near the city of the same name, is an example of a combination unusual for these places. In addition to the fact that here, as in the case of Lake Kopan, the lake and the sea converge, there is also a desert. Sand dunes can be observed throughout the entire space from the river to the sea. I also call them “walking dunes” because they actually move under the influence of winds. As for the sea temperature in these places, it is rather normal here, but the views and the opportunity to walk through the desert from the sea to a river similar in size to the sea will clearly not leave anyone indifferent.

The place is interesting both from the point of view of entertainment and from the point of view of history and culture. Here you feel that the border with Germany is close. Very. Sometimes it’s even so close that, due to the number of Germans vacationing here, it may seem that you are already beyond this border. Moreover, on this moment There is no official border, in a certain sense of the word. If you want to have a blast on the beach, go to a disco and let yourself frolic without inhibitions, then the beaches of Swinujscia are suitable for you. The water here is slightly warmer than the average along the Polish coast. But if you want to grab two pleasures here too, welcome to Międzyzdroje, which is just a few kilometers from the center of Swinoujscia. There is silence here, peace, clean beaches, clean - and most importantly warm - water of the Baltic Sea. As in other cases on the Polish coast, the bottom topography plays a major role in the warmth of the water in Miedzyzdroje. We can say that the beach here goes into the water for about 25 meters. The water is knee-deep and chest-deep - maximum.

It is worth noting that on almost all beaches and resorts in Poland you can relax with small children, since the depths off the coast, with rare exceptions, are very shallow. In addition, on official beaches there are always lifeguards and dedicated paddling pools for children. They are located where the water is shallower and warmer. Rescuers have special supervision over such a paddling pool. In general, children in Poland are surrounded by care and attention. This is the policy of the state and society. This also applies to beaches. Children playing on the beach in a crowd of complete strangers to each other is a normal phenomenon. So go to the beach in Poland with a child, even if on weekend, it will even be very appropriate. Adults will also have something to do while their child is frolicking with new friends. Even if this activity is just relaxation.

Summer is a time created for joy, pleasure and positive emotions. Long sunny days give us more free time for active rest and creativity, juicy berries and fruits add energy, the lush nature around inspires. If you have children, then summer is the ideal time to pay more attention to them, because fun time spent with parents, regardless of the child’s age, has a positive effect on his development, builds self-confidence, brings closer and strengthens family relationships.

To do this, it is not necessary to spend all your savings on visiting expensive mountain resorts or holiday abroad over the sea. These traditional vacation spots are familiar to parents, but not always comfortable and interesting for the children themselves. But you can give your child a lot of impressions by going with him for a weekend to one of the places we offer, where it’s never boring.

We will tell you the best, most surprising and exciting ways to spend an unforgettable weekend with your child in Poland. By using them, you will not only create an interesting adventure for the kids, but you will also have a fabulous time, quietly plunging into a carefree childhood.
