Overview

Sopot is a charming seaside resort boasting a rich history, with sandy beaches and a long pier. You will explore this historic spa resort town with a local architect learning the ins and outs of the charming community of Sopot. From the longest wooden pier in Europe to a Villa where Chopin visited and played, you will be amazed and inspired throughout the tour. You will hear fun stories and be presented with facts which relate to the development from a fishermen village to a glamorous spa resort well known all over Europe in the 1920-30s. I am a certified tour guide of the Sopot Tourist Association. My family has been settled here since March 1945 and I offer you a private experience. Let’s take a tour! It can be a walking tour, but it is quite easy to rent bikes and take a bike tour. The bike tour is also fun and you can see even more! I will help you with pleasure with the rental:)

What's Included

  • Historical pictures to show how the center of Sopot has changed over the centuries.
  • Licensed Guide
  • I suggest any museum you'd like to visit to do it separately. We enter a few buildings,but for free.

Goyki 3 Art Inkubator

One of the biggest villas is from the late 19th century, the Tower Villa has a long and rather sad story accompanied with a tone of music. It was built by a merchant for its family. Today you will find an art institution in this Alpine Resort style building. Why does the building refer to an Alpine Resort when built so far from the Alps and in a seaside resort and not a mountain one? I will tell you about the European spa resorts trend that started in the 18th century in the park surrounding the villa.
