EURO 2012
The decision to make Poland a co-host of EURO 2012 (download the special Euro2012 guide in PDF here) was greeted with surprise both inside and outside Poland as well as by jubilation that Michel Platini and his UEFA committee had the foresight and courage to bring such a successful tournament here.... -
Local Nutter
Technically German, but born in Sopot, Klaus Kinski is arguably the town’s most famous son. Born into poverty, Kinski found himself flirting with adventure from an early age when he was forced to steal to feed his family.... -
Christmas in Poland
Holiday season officially kicks off on December 6th, Dzien Świętego Mikołaja to some, the feast day of St Nicholas to the rest.... -
Pomerania
If you hear people talking about Pomerania they’re referring to the geographical region that the tri-city finds itself in....
Let's Gdańsk!
With the sun comes a new look city. Gardens and umbrellas appear, beach bars pop up all along the coast, mock pirate ships appear on the water and people from all over the world start to throng down the major pedestrian thoroughfares. This is the time when the three cities and the region surrounding it are at their best and the challenge for you is to decide what you want to see and do in the limited time you have here. That’s where hopefully we can come in useful. Unlike anything else out there which will be thrust into your hand or stacked in the tourist offices, our little magazine/website/iPhone app, is not limited to information about places that pay to be included and dictate what is written. Our little magazine/website/iPhone app includes checked, up to date and accurate information on all the places we think you might possibly wish to know about, with our description and views on them.
Whether you go to one of them or to one of the places that pays us to place an advertisement in the guide is up to you.
In this issue we raise the visibility of the Oliwa district in the guide and throw that one out to you to consider as a place to visit. If you have children with you, the zoo is one of the most pleasant we’ve ever been to. If nothing else Oliwa is worth a trip just to listen to the sounds made by the incredible organ in the cathedral. Check our section on Oliwa for concert times.
We are also on the lookout for experiences of good quality service. We’ve long believed that too many wait staff give the good ones a bad reputation and we instead would like to highlight the jobs done by those in the three cities who, by serving you professionally and politely, made your visit a more memorable one in the process. Read more about this here and drop us a line at the address below to tell us who made your trip that extra bit special (note an email should not replace a generous tip).
And finally in this age of the smartphone and tablet don’t forget you can go to the iTunes store and download our iPhone app which, unlike many, is designed to work offline. Alternatively if your phone has run out of power, there is no Wifi where you are and your roaming package is costing you a fortune it’s all here in our compact A5 magazine (which also works as an umbrella in an emergency).
As always we sincerely hope you enjoy your time in Gdansk and the guide we have put together. Be sure to like us on Facebook (facebook.com/gdanskinyourpocket) and follow us on Twitter (Twitter.com/gdanskiyp) for all the latest on what’s happening in the tri-cities, and you can leave comments about all the venues listed here (and more) on our website at inyourpocket.com/Poland/gdansk. And of course we welcome your direct feedback at editor_poland@inyourpocket.com
