We have smoothly entered the autumn-winter tourist season, which is as attractive as summer leisure at the Baltic Sea coast. Peace and quiet, with a pinch of elegance. Everyone deserves a bit of luxury.
A walk along the beach in the morning mist, or down the amber alley, an afternoon game of golf, and a relaxing SPA session with natural amber or sea algae. The evening dose of culture in one of the latest cultural centres, together with dinner in an elegant restaurant that offers dishes from freshest regional ingredients. And a night in a historical palace. All those are for people who need to recharge their batteries in autumn, and get away from all everyday problems. At this time of year, the region is not only tempting with scenic views, but also with a rich offer directed towards the most demanding connoisseurs.
Both revitalised hotels that welcome their guests the same way they did during the times of noble houses, providing unforgettable atmosphere, as well as plethora of SPA centres that are the top-ranked in their categories, deserve equal attention. Regardless of whether they are located at a seacoast beach, deep in the Kashubian forest, or in the very centre of a city, SPA complexes in Pomorskie provide a wide range of comprehensive services that will let you regain balance between body and soul.
You can also regenerate at a restaurant table. Restaurants will astonish you with variety of cuisine, and richness of fresh, regional ingredients. If you enjoy exquisite flavours, you will certainly enjoy one of the partner restaurants of Pomorskie Culinary Prestige, where slow food philosophy applies, and meals are prepared from top European quality, regional ingredients. Original approach to tradition and local products guarantees unforgettable taste experience.
Art and design have positive influence on the soul as well. Until recently they were associated mainly with amber, and not unrightfully so. Gdańsk has been known as the world capital of amber, and designs by local artists are famous way beyond Polish borders. The scope of interest of local craftsmen is a lot wider, though. Fashion, interior and furniture design, or architecture are only a few areas of interest, in which they are successful. Because of the designers’ hard work, the urban space of Gdynia, Gdańsk, and Sopot has gained new character. Just take a look at the newly constructed office buildings, hotels, restaurants, as well as cultural places. A walk along the streets of Tricity in warm, autumn sun is an unforgettable aesthetic experience for every connoisseur of top-class architecture. Simply mentioning Polsat Plus Arena in Gdańsk, one of the most spectacular stadiums in the world that has been constructed in the past few years, or the unique building of the European Solidarity Centre, proves that point. Although made available to the public quite recently, both buildings have already managed to become the intrinsic part of the city landscape, and have become the city’s new architectural landmarks.
If you are passionate about flourishing artistic urban centres, Pomorskie offers top European quality entertainment, such as the Polish Baltic Philharmonic, located in a historical, 100-year-old factory, which hosts the most renowned conductors and bands from all around the world. Or the Baltic State Opera, which was named by the BBC one of the nine best European opera theatres. Amateurs of theatre, on the other hand, are thrilled by the Gdańsk Shakespeare Theatre – not only because of its repertoire, but also the building itself. Wooden interior in a heavy brick building is the artistic vision of professor Renatto Rizzi. The retractable roof of the building allows for staging plays in daylight, which makes the spectators feel like in a Shakespeare’s contemporary Elizabethan theatre. One of the most recent cultural attractions of Pomorskie region, the European Solidarity Centre, has already been dubbed the most surprising museum in Poland, despite having been made available to the public less than a year ago.
