The home of the Polish film festival and alternative music – Gdynia is just the ticket for culture aficionados. The history of the city is also strongly entwined with the famous port. Book an apartment in Gdynia to discover all the secrets of this exciting destination.
When Poland gained access to the sea, it was quickly decided to create an independent port. Gdynia was chosen for this purpose.

The beautifully preserved buildings remind us of the times when the city developed most rapidly.
Apartments in Gdynia – what are the best locations for staying by the sea?
Kamienna Góra (Stony Mountain), one of the seven wonders of the Tri-City, is the best known district of Gdynia. It is certainly worthwhile to seek accommodation in this particular district, if only because of its flagship examples of the modernist architecture of the 1920s and 1930s (Kamienna Góra is part of the Gdynia Modernism Route). The neo-Renaissance and neo-Baroque villas and impressive columns decorating the façades will take you back in time to interwar Poland.
At the bottom of Kamienna Góra, you will see: the Music Theatre, the Polish Naval Museum and the Seaside Boulevard. At the top of the hill, there is a well-lit metal cross – it serves as an orientation point for sailors returning home at night. Kamienna Góra is also one of the few places in the city centre with a beautiful view of the Gdańsk Bay.
Another attractive location for renting an apartment in Gdynia is Świętojańska Street. This street has an unlimited choice of restaurants and cafés. The proximity of the Witold Gombrowicz Municipal Theatre and excellent transport links to anywhere in the city make this street an ideal base for culture lovers.
