Gdynia Waterfront: Dar Pomorza & ORP Błyskawica
Skwer Kościuszki
At the Kościuszko Square pier in central Gdynia, the three-masted sailing museum ship Dar Pomorza and the WWII destroyer ORP Błyskawica are moored.
Gdynia is a modernist port city that was built in the 1920s. On the Kościuszko Square pier, which juts out from the city center into the sea, lie two ships. One is the white three-masted training sailing ship Dar Pomorza, built in 1909. It once sailed around the world and is now a museum ship. The other is the destroyer ORP Błyskawica, which distinguished itself in WWII and is now a naval museum ship. Both can be boarded for about PLN 15–25 each. Nearby are the seafront promenade, an aquarium and the Kamienna Góra (Stone Mountain) lookout. Getting there: take the SKM commuter rail to Gdynia Główna, about 35 minutes.
Opening hours
