- The Polish seaside town of Sopot is home to the largest wooden pier in Europe, famous in Poland! The train from Gdansk to Sopot... ⬇ Click 'Show More' ⬇
If you're looking for things to do in Poland don't miss Sopot! Sopot is a stunning spot by the Polish seaside, a quick train ride away from Gdansk and is well worth the visit. It's also home to the largest wooden pier in Europe, the Sopot Pier.
The Sopot beach and water isn't necessarily stunning, but the atmosphere in the little beach town is something you need to experience. Poland is a welcoming place with so much variety, even the difference from Gdansk to Sopot is night and day - as you can sort of pick up from our response in the travel vlog.
The pier isn't the largest in Europe in total, but the wooden element is the key point - there's no larger piers built our of wood specifically. Something we didn't expect to find in Poland either way.

Haha, don't worry about the drone, the war ships, planes, etc, were there because of the anniversary of the Polish Navy ;)
We really got lucky seeing it!!
Why would they be worried about it anyway?
flying drones will be banned durring military show and parade. Police can confiscate it.
Guys, I think the Polish Tourism Organisation should pay you for these videos about Poland. This is the best "commercial" about my homeland I've ever seen. Cheers from Berlin, B.
Thanks so much! About the same time we were in Poland the tourism board did invite a load of creators to film, but we werent part of the team... hopefully next time! Love Berlin as well, beautiful place.
Oh my God the beach is stunning and it looks so posh
Such a great spot to hang out there!
wish we could go there......and.......sooooon
tori10tori10 You mean “polish” ;)
Nothing but great things await Poland in the future. I love this country.
Your vlogs prove an important point. Never pre-judge anywhere. I wonder how many people who have never been to Poland expected to see beaches as amazing as this there? What a location! I bet the sea is cold though - it certainly is around the UK!
Yes I heard polish sea is cold. But i have never been there. ;) But I swimmed in the sea in the UK around Brighton... It was quite nice though..
+ Marek Sowinski I remember my Mom jumping into the sea off Fowey in Cornwall and it was so cold it took her breath away! :) Sea around Dorset coast is not too cold in shallower parts though.
water temprature is not that bad during the summer , around 20-21 celcius , alot warmer than UK see water , Sopot is great summer destination , but quite busy
+ bartekj81 Thanks - just checked out both - amazing sand and dunes!
This hot Summer 26 deg. C mate!! Ustka!
While visiting Sopot stick to the plan „What Happens in Sopot, Stays in Sopot ;)
I have been on that pier in Sopot as a kid.... Absolutely amazing
Hope this brought back some memories!
Greetings from the Poles. Summer is magical here, feel like home and stay as long as You want :)
This little beach town is gorgeous. I would love to spend a summer there!
I used to go to Sopot on vacation every year, great place very busy in the summertime.
Glad we got to avoid some of the busy-ness then!
Daj mi papiru do podciru.
I lived in Warsaw for several months (I don't know the duration exactly) last 2017 and transfered to Monaco and South of France and stayed there for more than a year but I miss Warsaw more than Monaco and South of France now that I am back in the Philippines and I don't know why😊
Salamat Lester! Sound like you've had some cool jobs around the world - so you know the PH is one of the most beautiful :)
The wooden pier ( the molo ) is stunning and has very romantic feel to it, great to visit as a couple, it is also beautiful at night. The crooked house (krzywy domek) is an award winning building for the ugliest building in Europe, but strangely enough it is most beautiful to me ! Yet again it is a joy to see tourists loving Poland and being so happy and free !
Happy to hear you enjoyed!
That crooked house does something in the mind. It looks so cool. The beach there is beautiful especially how they set it up.
You should stop in Malbork and Torun on the way to Warsaw .Hel is nice too but now is high peak season and it can be overcrowded .Like your videos , enjoy your time in Poland
Especially Malbork 🏰
Malbork is a must see
Also Lodz at least for one day because of street art I would recommend
Piotr St - yes Łódź is amazing little town !
Patrick Fiur Toruń (thorn) is so pretty!!
Poland love you🇵🇱
So crazy how a place can be off your radar and then you guys put out a beautiful vlog and I'm immediately planning out our next unique euro trip. Thanks!
So stoked to hear that - glad you've found a cool new spot! Poland genuinely is underrated and awesome.
Wow that's very nice place. As good as the Costa
Whole seaside is great really its worth exploring like for 7-14 days. Especially in june when theres not so mamy people on holiday. Than its crowded yet still awesome. I love this place.
Glad we missed all the crowds!
Wow, what magic spot.
Thank you for taking me back this year, this time by train instead of ferry. I spent so much time there last year, chilling out, meeting people from all over Poland & some from Norway. The water was too shallow but all that seaweed provides iodine.
My Beautiful town 😍
Thanks for sharing. I need to get back to Poland to discover more!
I live in Sopot almost all life and can't imagine another place to live.
Great spot!
Sopot ~ spot :D
Went to Sopot in March 18 and it was -7c but amazingly sunny! The pier was free but when you got to to the end of it there was amazing frozen waves over the wall and the lampposts. I would love to go back when it is warm as it seemed a really cool place to hang out along the beach....in -7c it was beautiful but pretty FREEZING!
-7?? Oh heeeeell naaawww, we aint visiting then haha
Daneger and Stacey totally! Was stunning but I was wrapped up head to toe!
-7C is not even that cold 😂
-20C is normal for winter 😂
Lapa533 I was in Krakow in Winter 2010 and it was well below -20c and it was awful!
Scott McMurray
-30c in winter and 30c in summer. Thats how we like it in Poland;D
"Have a beer obviously",got to love ya
Haha almost goes with out saying with us :)
I heard about Gdansk when I was in Poland a few years ago! I really wish I'd gone now!! Great video guys!
Next time you visit you have to head north :)
Yes, Warsaw. I can not wait when you come to my city.
I miss my hometown and your video mad me even more homesick. Six months in London with this silly covid situation is enough. I am flying in two weeks time and can't wait! Great place for windsurfing, open water swimming, mountain biking (yes!) in the nearby forest created be a glacier you can go for a spin or a crazy ride. If you fancy horse riding or racing there are magnificent stables there. Take a bus, train or hire a car and within 30minuts you will experience a charming (Switzerland of Kaszubia) Kaszuby, a region of lakes, hills and scrumptious food. What a lovely couple you are! Come back and let me know, I will guide you and show you around.
Oh noooo, sorry to make you homesick! Hope you're doing ok. That's a lovely offer, thank you. If we ever get to travel internationally again, we'll let you know
I used to live there, and I had to move out to england. This makes me miss it even more :( but hopefully gonna visit these holidays
i Love the shape of costa coffee shop
Pretty crazy huh!!
Guys you are right , it has a "beachy" feel, very relax location...and that crooked building was interesting..nice vlog as always!
Sopot is amazing. Very good town for clubing
Absolutely beautiful country!!!
You've missed the Mazurian Lakes on your way here. Definitely check them out if you have a chance.
Love your reaction of reaching the beach :D Have a good stay in Warsaw!!
Kisses kisses for You guys from Krakow 😘😘😘😘thanks to bring amazing and positive energy to Poland 😘🇵🇱
Thanks so much Julia!
+Julia Julia, hurry... - switch the "A" with "U" in "gays" word! :D
Julia, zmień "a" na "u" w słowie "gays" :D
omg I apologize for this mistake, 😯😦 I Scream PL Thanks 🧐😘
+Julia HAHAHA don’t worry, you have us a really good laugh at the time (and again just now!). We knew what you meant 😜
Daneger and Stacey Thanks for understanding me ✌️I need back to school learn some English 🤬🤬🤬silly me 😳
Looks Amazing, I didn't realize they would have that nice of beaches in Poland along the Baltic Sea. Did you all go for a swim, was the water warm enough?
Yeah kind of crazy to think about isnt it! We didnt swim, didnt actually think we'd be able to so hadnt brought any gear, but lots of people were
Actually, because it's a bay the water is +10C warmer than the open sea. In the open sea it's hard to swim in even in summer :)
things to see in Warsaw : top balcony floor on the Palace of Culture, new riverfront at Vistula river, Świętokrzyska street with beautiful greenery, the Old town is a obvious with Nowy Świat and Krakowskie Przedmieście, old untouched by the war Praga district with Neon Museum, go to Łazienki Park, visit stunning Museum of the History of Polish Jews and the Uprising Museum! We also have lots of hippie places to chill in the evening! Best way to see the city is to rent a Veturilo bike and enjoy one of the biggest public bike system in Europe :)
Have ticked off a few of these already - thanks so much!
Hope I can tour Europe someday, God bless guys to your trip
We hope you get the chance to as well! For now though, hopefully our videos from all over Europe can give you a taste of what's in your future ❤️
I'm from Poland and I very like and love Sopot, it's great town and I spend very good time in this beautiful town ❤ greetings😍
Its beautiful isnt it!
That girl is so beautiful! you're a very lucky man ;) much love from Poland, you guys are awesome!
I agree :) Thanks for watching! - Dane
I go to school in Sopot (i live in Gdynia) and it was very interesting to see it from other perspective. Glad you liked it!
Welcome to Poland.
I am happy to watch your movies from a visit to my own country. It is interesting to see a familiar place from the perspective of a foreigner. I can not wait for a new episode from Warsaw, my hometown. See you
Thanks so much Katarzyna, hope we do Warsaw justice! We don't have very long sadly
I am shocked :D There are not so many people in Sopot in June! Sopot is very crowded in July and August because it's very good weather for vacation. I am glad you like Sopot :D I have been living in Tricity since my birth, so these views are very common for me so maybe I can't see the beauty of these places. It's always a different experience when you see something the first time if you lived in the other place.
And... As in every country, there are a lot of smaller and such beautiful places in Poland! It's not possible to see everything at once. I was on the trip through my country once and I still haven't seen everything :)
is beauty.
Really nice vlog! Love Sopot!!!
8:30 If it was the last weekend of June, the planes, the ships and copters were part of the Sea Day in nearby Gdynia. Gdynia is quite commonly regarded as "the sea capital of Poland" and the whole Tricity as "the Summer capital of Poland".
Yup thats the one!! We had no idea what was going on
What a perfect day !! Great vlog 😍😎👫
Glad you guys enjoyed!
Thanks a lot for yet another great video. Can't wait for the next one from Warsaw Best regards J.
Not long to wait!! Thank you
You guys should try Wrocław too. Amazing city.
Beautiful beach ♡ love you two.
So kind - thanks Chisi!
It's so crazy to see my hometown shot like one of those distant, beautiful places I watch in travel vlogs. I'm very happy you enjoyed it so much and thank you for reminding me of the beauty of Sopot. It may seem so fascinating when you first come here, but living here from day to day, going to school and work or just for little walks, seeing it from my window, it's easy to loose this feel of adventure and extraordinary that definitely is in Sopot.
As for 'spa town', back in the day, before the II WW Sopot used to be a luxury town for rich people to come and relax in. It's purpose was to help people heal and rest after everyday life. The title of 'spa town' refers to the special waters we have here with a high level of salt in them that were and still are used in healing purposes. It's a common thing in Poland for towns which purpose was to be a luxorius escape at the beginning of their existence to have this title and it's quite easy to loose as the town has to keep it's standards high and have, for example, low air pollution levels and other health-related benefits for tourists. The special water in Sopot granted the town a worldwide fame in 20s and 30s and can be found in little fountains in a shape of a mushroom all over the town. Hope that explained it a little bit.
Anyway, loved the vlog and I really hope youll enjoy the rest of your stay in Poland 😊
Thanks for all the amazing info! Hope we got to show you how cool where you live is from our view - its different to the rest of Poland and has a really nice vibe to it. Glad you enjoyed :)
Sopot is very nice, I was there last month for the first time and I was surprised very positively 😍
Great video insight on Sopot!!! I wasn't sure if I was going to go there for a day trip....but now I am for sure!!!!
Definitely worth the trip for sure!
crooked house was inspired by the works of Per Oscar Dahlberg - a Swedish artist living in Sopot
Awesome ! I think you could visit not only the largest cities in the country but also smaller town for comparison. I think you do really good job and i can't wait for more of your videos ;) Greetings from southern Poland :D
oh your shots are so beautiful! it is so lovely to be back home thanks your videos
Happy to share :)
You guys are so chill, I love it!
Lover hearing that - thanks!
Another awesome vlog! love you guys!
Glad to hear - thanks Adam!
Beautiful shots! I am happy that you enjoy Poland. Feel always welcomed here!
Aww thanks so much
Beginning to enjoy our work guys, its always interesting and enjoyable. The Naval Ships in the distance and the aircraft over head were rehearsing for commemorations of the Polish Navy. Gdansk was the location of the first Nazi attacked of WW2 at 04:45am Ist September 1939. Massive monument to this at Westerplatte. Hours later, Britain was at war with Germany. Cool pier.
You guys are my fav kiwis ever 😍❤
YAY!
Nice place. Thanks...
Aww great vlog! As always! The pier is really beautiful, right? Cant wait to see what you saw and did in Warsaw! :D
Yeah such a stunning place!
I just discover your channel! It's amazing to see such a nice people travel the world together and it's amazing to see that you really enjoying your stay in Poland.
Ahhh we loved this comment, thanks so much!
Sopot is the bee's knees, love it there just been there for the third time with the fam, and BTW the pier is the longest in Europe.
There's a cool cycling infrastructure in Gdańsk and Sopot. Gdynia lacks a bit but cycling in TriCity is quite efficient specially with a straight lane between piers in Sopot to pier in Brzeźno
You need to visit Zakopane polish city in Mountains
You can go to Malbork. There is the biggest teutonic castle. You could see it if you traveled to Warsaw by train
Another cool vlog❤️👍
Very relaxing video ! thanks ! Thats what Poland is! without all those ethnic tensions plaguing W. Europe.
Cheers from Sopot. Plenty of sun today ;)
Im sorry for liked it before I started watch it :D
You both are so likeable human beings If i only be likeable like you are my life would of been much easier - great video .
Ah you're too kind! Nothing special about us, just enjoying life :)
Going there next Sunday for 8 days. Thanks for the preview! Even more hyped now!
Stoked - you're gonna love it
8 days are enough to tour many places in that region. You should remember that Sopot is a part of Tricity (PL: Trójmiasto). It's something like a metropolitan area of three cities: Gdańsk, Sopot and Gdynia and I think it's worth to visit every of them cause they have really different vibe even though they are really close to each other. The next interesting spot is Malbork (about 70 km from Gdańsk) with the largest castle in the world. A little bit further (about 180 km from Gdańsk) there is Toruń - the city of Nicolaus Copernicus, with a beautiful old town and delicious gingerbread.
Enjoy your trip!
Greetings from Poland :)
Amazing shots. You’re getting another polish fan - sub !
Another excellent video! You are doing a great job
Really appreciate that :)
I've just came back to this video maybe because I'm fat away from home and this is my hometown. Anyway few things about the peer- the paid entrance last trough summer then from mid September I think until may you don't have to pay. It's a bit confusing but I think they taking the money to preserve the peer, in the past gates were in different place tough. Anyway you could take the skm train and go to Gdynia Orłowo where is a smaller peer but with a lovely Clif and just so picturesque that most couples have their wedding photos there. Also longer train ( or a boat in summer)to Hel peninsula that you can actually see from Sopot in a clear day. And in freezing weather the Gdansk cove freez over and you could actually walk on water. Well we did that about 10 years ago, but maybe climate changed too much cause I don't think there were many freezing weather days ( like - 15). I know you don't like that cold but in Poland freezing weather can also but amazing cause the air is crisp and fresh and it's sunny and dry.
Anyways, after all of this crisis travel probably will be different. I can't wait to be able to visit my home area again.
Take care.
Love that you came back for another watch! Thanks for the info
Thanks for your video. You are lovely positive thinking couple. All the best.
So kind, Maria ❤️
I'm glad you liked it ! Sopot its great huh ? ;) Daneger you are very good artist :) great shots ! There was hot and Polish beers are strong even this lighter :) soo yes it could hit you a bit ;) Very Positive Vlog great job guys ! Stay as long as you can ;) In Poland you are always most welcome :) Have nice trip to Warsaw and best impressions ! Bye ! If you still there for few days check out the Viking Boat its AWESOME ! :D
You should stop in Malbork castle !
I recommend you visit Torun , it is an old and very beautiful city, read a little bit about Torun and decide whether you want to come, but highly recommended and by the way you could taste Torun gingerbreads and chocolate wafles in which Torun specializes
I'm happy you took my recommendation to go to Zatoka Sztuki - sorry you didn't manage to get your breakfast there, but I love it to hang out there and chill. Did you manage to check the water? it's always surprising for southerners how cold it is :-D
Gutted we didnt get there in time - we went back though for that beer because it was such a great spot!
Luv u guys,great videos,best greetings from Poland:)
Hope you enjoy your time in Poland!! How’re your feelings ?😊🇵🇱
We love Poland! Thats why were spending so long here and have already made 15 vlgos or so
Good to hear that! Take care 🙏
Im living in sopot nice video
I’m going to Gdańsk soon
Enjoy!! Its an amazing spot
Have you checked the Redłowski Cliff in Gdynia Orłowo? I love that place! Absolutely stunning views
I was in Poland the same time as you
mmmmm time for Warsaw :)
I think Świnoujście has the prettiest beach in Poland:))
I spent a few short weeks in Sopot and Gdansk around the turn of the century, but sadly the weather wasn't as good as yours. The Baltic was starting to freeze over for a start! I was with some others working at the National Music Theatre of Poland which is near the beach in Gdansk. We were put up in a hotel in Sopot, so rather the opposite of you, but we did brave the elements on our days off to walk out on the pier.
Stacey and Daneger, you know that time when you left the bar of chocolate in the car on a particularly hot sunny day, that building looks exactly like that chocolate 😂
Haha thats exactly right! #stillgonnaeatthechoc
Guys, we must prepare the Warsaw must-see list before they get there!
We've already got LOADS of recommendations!
If you already have a list we can sort it for you so you don't miss the best attractions.
Anyway, if you still have some inner child in you visit Copernicus Science Centre and have fun playing around making science experiments. I bet someone recommend it already.
Please share this list with meee :D I love these Poland vlogs since I will be there in August!!
Ja jestem z Sopotu 🖤
My hometown! :)
You should go to Gdynia...best modernist architecture in Poland
Nice video as always. Hope you enjoy in Warsaw ;)
🙏🏼🙏🏼
Yaaay, finally my city! :)
oh take me there!
