Though Gdynia is the youngest in Tricity, it has a very interesting history. You can find out more about it in our last year’s articles. First written records about parts of the city date back to 1200s. The peak of the development came in the 1920s and 1930s.

After 93 years since obtaining the city charter, Gdynia is still modern and developing. A unique city center attracts fans of modernist architecture.
