The green square before the pier
by gosiaPL
Just before you reach the pier, you'll find yourself in Plac Zdrojowy, a nice green square with benches, ice-cream stands, cafes and restaurants. It's another place to hang around, if you're bored with the sea view. You see people of all ages there: teenagers, young people, families with little children, older people who come to Sopot's health spas... We sat there for a little while and I got a kick out of a funny water sprinkler in the shape of a flower as it "danced" to the pressure of the water. The square is surrounded by an arcaded wall and there's a lot to explore under the arcade. There was a temporary internet cafe by wp.pl, one of the most popular Polish websites and free e-mail providers. Click for the other photos here.
St. George Church
by Gosia78
St. George Church was built in the neo-gothic style between 1899-1901 and up to 1945 it was on evangelic church. Inside there is a figure of Holy Mary of Czestochowa (a copy of the most precious Polish image of the Holy Mother of Jesus) which until 1971 was a board the Polish transatlantic liner, Batory.
Funky place
by acemj
The Centrum Rezydent shopping center about halfway down Monte Cassino is a pretty funky building from the outside. The building's skin looked warped and funky, but inside you'll find a normal little shopping mall with some shops and restaurants. The weather was too nice outside for me to spend much time indoors, but on a bad weather day, this would be an ideal escape.
Grand Hotel
by Raimix
Grand Hotel is on the right on the beach of Sopot, could be nicely admired from pier. It is art deco style structure, functioning from 1927. As it is written at advertisements, it has its own casino, private beach, indoors swimming pool and so on. Actually such hotel shows the richness and popularity of resort.
My Last Photo ...

Okay, at the Tourist Office, enquired if it was possible to walk along the sea to reach Gdynia. I was told it's possible but it would be a long walk.
I decided to do just that. Beside, it's a long way to walk back to the train station & took the regional train to Gdynia anyway.
