However, I would like to show you that despite the approaching end of the holidays, it is worth changing your habits, breaking the routine or on the contrary - as every year, visit the Tri-City, in a less crowded, but usually equally warm (and statistically less rainy) and to immerse yourself in… culture.

We're halfway through the holidays! Needless to say, I had to pinch myself as I wrote these words. And yet - a month of rest and beautiful memories behind us. So let's be happy that the next August days are still on the horizon ;)

In the rush of everyday duties, we often forget about how important it is for our body and mind to indulge in adventures outside the walls of homes and gyms. Regardless of whether you are sports enthusiasts, nature lovers or just want to get away from the routine, moments, and preferably hours, in the bosom of nature can bring you many benefits.

Two weeks of summer vacation are behind us. Looking at the calendar, you can get the impression that time is rushing like crazy and is constantly accelerating. I encourage you to plan the upcoming days and weekends now. And where is the best place to spend them? I think that my proposal today, full of colors, flavors and smells, will appeal to many readers. I invite you to Gdańsk for the St. Dominic's Fair!

Although maybe 18 degrees outside is not yet a signal for everyone to pump up circles and inflatable flamingos or search for swimwear packed a year earlier, it is already a good time to think about the upcoming summer vacation. And for lovers of spring aura and temperatures, to plan a weekend today... on the beach. Which one to choose? Find out from the article.

Although a bit of a throw on the tape, but we made it! For those of you who are going to the Tri-City for the long weekend in May, as well as for those who are just wondering what to do with the upcoming free days, which are exceptionally favorable this year, I am in a hurry to help. I have prepared a proposal to spend time actively and get to know the charms of the close vicinity of Gdańsk from a slightly different perspective. I invite you to read!

Easter soon. Looking at the increasing number of Easter offers in hotels and how many of us actually decide to spend this time taking advantage of tourist offers, I think we can confidently admit that Holy Week, but above all the period between Holy Saturday and Monday Easter, it becomes a great opportunity to catch your breath.

When browsing internet forums and social networking sites, I often notice questions from parents, grandparents and guardians of children regarding the choice of a place to rest - both shorter, weekend, as well as planned summer and winter holidays. Usually there is a question that other users help to solve: "Where to go on holiday with the child?".

The day is fast approaching, which I know from experience to be one of the favorite reasons for women - both older and younger - to celebrate. And although some of us associate it with the period of the People's Republic of Poland in which it is rooted, it does not prevent it from disenchanting it from the then ubiquitous carnations and tights ;)

Although looking out the window at the world bathed in spring and autumn aura, it's hard to believe - we are entering the winter holidays with great strides. In just a few days, children from some provinces will start the long-awaited break between semesters. And it was with you - parents, grandparents, carers of the youngest and slightly older - in mind that I have prepared today's article.

Ho, ho, ho! As the old Polish saying goes: Christmas, Christmas and after Christmas! If you don't want the magical time of December, long-awaited for many people, to slip through your fingers and actually end with the last portion of carp or an ear lost in borscht, be sure to consider its continuation.

A few years ago, a visit to a spa did not occupy my mind at all. I thought it was a luxury reserved for others. However, I couldn't really answer the question for which ones. My friend, who went with her colleagues from work to the SPA hotel for the weekend, came to the rescue.

September chases away summer with cooler mornings and evenings. Slowly, despite the sunny hours during the day, we realize that the heat is no longer a threat to us and we get used to the thought of warmer clothes and fuller shoes. But, as the regular readers of the blog probably already know, autumn at the seaside can be a beautiful opportunity to take a breath of fresh air, full of iodine.

Can't believe the holidays are over! The children had just left school desks for the summer break, and a few days ago they heard the first bell announcing the arrival of the new year. However, in order to refer a bit to the summer atmosphere and enter the period of autumn duties more gently, it is worth considering organizing a short, even weekend, rest.

In the previous article, I told you about the most interesting and noteworthy natural values of the Sobieszewo Island. Today I will focus on what to do to experience the seaside, unique climate of the island even more.

In today's article, I will tell you a little more about a place that not many tourists visiting the Tri-City know about. And certainly a large part of them is surprised that within the borders of Gdańsk lies quite a large... island.

Family trips and holidays, whether shorter or longer, are often planned down to the smallest detail. Parents want to know exactly what they will do, or at least what they can do. They carefully check the offer in terms of facilities for children, ask about what the hotel, guesthouse, agritourism or the nearest neighborhood offer for the youngest.

Spring has been in the air for a few weeks now. The last weekends spoiled us with the sun, cloudless sky and calm sea. Nature began to wake up to life, beginning the favorite period of the year for many. In the near future, somewhere on the horizon, apart from the blooming of snowdrops and crocuses, there is another traditionally most important time for Christians - Easter.

February 14 is fast approaching. And although my observations show that there are at least two approaches to celebrating this day, I would like to propose a few ideas to make the Valentine's Day unique this year. If you belong to a group of people for whom Valentine's Day is a long-awaited and special day, full of magic and surprises, I hope that you will find inspiration in the text to spend it in a pleasant way.

If I conducted a short survey and asked you what winter holidays mean to you, most of you would probably choose answers such as: skiing, snowboarding, sledding, mountains, snow, hot tea and snowball fights. Some would probably add rest, time with family and adventure. Of course, this would not exhaust all possibilities.

Fall is spoiling us this year. It would seem that September is behind us. Meanwhile, last weekend we turned the clocks back an hour. Neighborhood children, dressed up as witches and ghosts, ran around shouting "Trick or Treat" happily, and we showered them with sweets to think about our loved ones a little later.

For the last few days I feel more and more strongly that autumn is approaching us in big steps. Increased car traffic on the streets, groups of students on school playgrounds, and finally mushroom pickers encountered during a forest walk, proudly presenting the trophies in their baskets - eye-catching boletes, boletes and butter mushrooms.

– Why do you like the sea? - I heard. A stream of thoughts, memories, images flashed through my head.

– "For everything," I smiled warmly, glancing at the horizon.

The answer, though seemingly trivial, is exactly what I feel.

Do you remember what trip I invited you on last week? If not quite, and you are hungry for excitement, I encourage you to follow the description of the cruise on our blog. I will tell you this story briefly. At that time, we sailed on a galley, a replica of Polish river boats popular in the 18th century, used for one-time transport of goods, i.e. salt, grain, soap and lime.

The holiday season at the Polish seaside is in full swing! We started the summer with a bang also in the Tri-City, as temperatures only occasionally drop below 20 degrees Celsius, which pleases all those thirsty for hot sand, sunbathing and swimming in the waves. However, Gdańsk lives not only by the sea and has many other interesting aces up its sleeve.

Many of us will travel with loved ones: spouses, partners, children, parents, friends or solo. But, but - did I mention here all those who enjoy the thought of rest, carefree, beautiful views and being by our side? Definitely not!

Hotels open or hotels closed? In recent weeks, I have received at least a dozen such questions from friends, acquaintances and family members. I also participated in several discussions in which we tried to determine what the current regulations allow us to do and what we cannot do. I thought that since the topic is alive among my relatives, it may also be of interest to our guests...

Museums in the Pomeranian Voivodeship closed again? Unfortunately, this is a pandemic truth. They are unavailable to visitors until at least March 28, 2021. But does that make them not worth writing about? From my point of view absolutely not!

Museums occupy a special place on the tourist map. It is in them that we recall history anew, we learn facts that we have not heard before. Thanks to them, we can move in time to both very distant and very close periods. Museum exhibitions provide an opportunity to better understand the past.

Children like winter. For many adults, this statement may seem surprising, because they often associate it mainly with clearing snow from cars or home sidewalks, but for the youngest, the vision of making a snowman, making an eagle or an angel in the snow, rolling downhill in white powder, and above all, a battle for snowballs with parents and friends are still highly anticipated events.

2020 will go down in history for many reasons. The catchy slogans "2020 is not forgettable" or "2020 still in shape" did not leave the news headlines, they were the reason to write articles, entries, as well as an excellent opportunity to create countless memes. The "Year 2020" itself was changed by all cases, and its ending still provides a lot of impressions.

I love business trips! Although I did not go there often, I always looked forward to the next trip with great joy. All for a simple reason - after work, even very late, you are still in a new place, perhaps for the first time or after a long break, and this creates opportunities for walks, getting to know cities in their natural, not only weekend, rhythm. Do you like business trips or do you treat them only as a task of significant importance to you or your company?

November comes suddenly. Over time, we get used to shorter days and crisper mornings. Behind the windows, leaves are blown in the wind more and more often, fog hovers over the meadows, and the vision of a warm blanket and an interesting book creeps into our thoughts. This moment you can wait and rest. You can also roll up long sleeves and take care of your health, immunity, good condition...

Yellow and red leaves sway on the trees, chestnuts and acorns fall straight into the narrow streets, and the iodine-rich sea breeze brings a feeling of refreshment on a lazy afternoon. These small signals remind us that the golden Polish autumn has already reached the seaside and slowly wants to make itself at home in our heads and hearts. Let's give her a chance!

After a day full of attractions, the youngest dreamed their childhood dreams. Still in their imagination, they built sand, splashed with sea water, jumped on the stones in the Oliwa Park and imitated the sounds of animals from the Gdańsk Zoo. In the morning, rested, with a smile on their faces, they woke up and quietly climbed into the bed of their sleepy parents. The beginning of the day belonged to the family.

Families I know from different parts of Poland often ask me how best to plan a seaside holiday and what places are worth seeing in Gdańsk. I cordially invite you to read a short story about a dream weekend on the Baltic Sea, which serves as an inspiration that I prepared for Ola's mother, Krzysztof's father and Anielka and Adaś for their upcoming vacation.
