Sopot In Your Pocket
Sopot’s reputation as Poland’s premier seaside resort is justly deserved.A mulit-million euro investment to return Sopot to its halcyon days was officially opened in July 2009. Central to this development is the fourth incarnation of Sopot's Resort House. Read more about its history and future here including info the spanking new 5-star Sheraton Sopot Hotel, Conference Centre & Spa who can boast the best conference facilities in the region.
A trip to the region would not be complete without a visit to Sopot, a place where human settlement dates back 2,500 years.
A small fishing village owned by the Cistercians in Oliwa existed here from the 13th century and in the 17th and 18th centuries, the baths and spas of this increasingly-fashionable health resort lured a select, affluent and aristocratic set as much
Avoiding much of the destruction experienced by its neighbour Gdansk at the end of WWII, the city retained much of its pre-war charm and continued to be a place to see and be seen.
Famous primarily for hosting the Sopot festival during the years of communism, a music festival broadcast to all corners of the Soviet empire, Sopot continued to be the summer resort of choice for those who could afford to come here.

InAzia
A drop dead gorgeous venue, and one which you’ll find hard to leave. Japanese has been done to death in Sopot, but not like this. And don’t think this place stops with sushi; Vietnamese,

that's right! I was there only twice, but it's really worth recomentation. Very good italian food.[...]
I Definitely agree. Quite possibly the best kebab in the whole Gdansk / Sopot area. My wife and I made it there 5 nights in a row on our last visit to Poland and my mouth waters every time I think of it. Something special going on there with the pit[...]

There are 2 places in Sopot offering THai massage, but after trying both, I can say without hesitation that Oriental Thai Massage is a clear winner. I used to go to the other place, but no more! OTM is decorated like an oriental palace, and has 3 p[...]

I think, that this club is a great place for live music. There are some places with live jazz in 3city. But nowhere the athmosphere is that great. Here you can here the best musicians of 3city. And on evenings like those the place is crowded.[...]

A great bar.And don't be put off by the "expat" tag - it's popular with Poles, and the expats come from a wide range of countries and mix in well with the locals.Perfect for a quiet pint or two watching the afternoon football, or a full on evening s[...]
The only place to watch Sky Sports, no other bar comes near it for atmosphere when a big match is on...Bar staff are also first class, the best I have come across in my year in Poland.[...]
the most amazing, little chilled out pub in sopot. Mulled wine comes highly recommended.[...]
But where do the buses from Gdansk and Gdynia stop in Sopot?[...]
Was there on Saturday evening and this place is the best pre-club bar I have seen in Sopot. Little grumbles aside (the uninviting door police, the lack of draught beer and the 10zl bottled Perroni) this place seems to be getting its act together. Th[...]
