Winter in the Tricity can enchant you! Gdańsk, Sopot, and Gdynia transform into magical places full of lights, the aroma of mulled wine, and Christmas music. It's the perfect time for a weekend getaway by the sea – a walk on the pier, a meeting with Santa Claus at the Christmas market, or ice skating under the open sky. Discover how special winter days in the Tricity can be and why it's worth staying at Lion Apartments.
Gdańsk Christmas Market – the magic of Christmas in the heart of the city
One of the biggest winter attractions in Poland! The Christmas Market in Gdańsk attracts thousands of tourists every year who want to feel the atmosphere of a true European holiday. It stretches from Targ Węglowy to Tkacka Street, creating a fairy-tale scenery full of lights and the aroma of spices.
Among the wooden huts, you will find stalls with handicrafts, Christmas decorations, and local delicacies – gingerbread, Kaszubian cheese, honey, and hot chocolate. Children can enjoy meetings with Elves and Santa Claus, as well as carousels, trains, and a magical tunnel of lights. It's also worth visiting the unique Angel Zone and taking a souvenir photo by the huge Christmas tree next to Katownia.
In the evening, the market delights even more – illuminated by lights, with live music and a festive atmosphere, it's hard not to feel the Christmas spirit.
Ice Rink in Sopot – winter joy by the pier
Winter Sopot is not just about the beach and walking on the pier. In the heart of the city, right by Kuracyjny Square, a cozy open-air ice rink is set up every year. In the background, you can see the pier and the sea, and colorful lights swirl above your head – it's hard to find a more fairy-tale setting for ice skating!
This is an ideal attraction for families with children, couples, and groups of friends. On-site, you can rent skates, drink hot chocolate, and relax in one of the cozy cafés on Monte Cassino. And after skating? It's time for a walk along the beach – winter here is especially quiet, and the sound of the waves and the smell of the sea create a unique atmosphere.
Winter attractions in Gdynia – a walk in Orłowo and an ocean full of sensations
Gdynia in winter is an excellent destination for nature lovers and peaceful walks. The Orłowo Cliff in its winter version looks like a postcard – frozen tree branches, frost on the sand, and majestic waves create an extraordinary landscape.
It's also worth visiting the Gdynia Aquarium, where you can see exotic fish, turtles, and coral reefs – a great attraction for colder days. For families with children, a visit to the Experyment Science Center will also be an ideal idea, combining fun with learning in an interactive way.
Where to stay in the Tricity during winter?
A winter getaway by the sea is also a time for comfort and relaxation. Lion Apartments in Gdańsk, Sopot, and Gdynia offer the perfect combination of location, comfort, and atmosphere – independence like at home, yet close to all attractions.
Planning a weekend in Gdańsk? Choose an apartment near the Old Town to take evening walks around the market and return on foot to a warm interior. In Sopot, you will find apartments just a few steps from the pier, perfect for winter walks and ice skating. And if you dream of a quiet stay away from the hustle and bustle – opt for Gdynia and its waterfront, ideal for those who appreciate peace and nature.
