Sopot Private City Walking or Bike Tour with a local architect
You will explore this historic spa resort town with a local architect learning the ins and outs of the charming community of Sopot. From the longest wooden pier in Europe to a Villa where Chopin visited and played, you will be amazed and inspired throughout the tour. You will hear fun stories and be presented with facts which relate to the development from a fishermen village to a glamorous spa resort well known all over Europe in the 1920-30s. I am a certified tour guide of the Sopot Tourist Association. My family has been settled here since March 1945 and I offer you a private experience. Let’s take a tour! It can be a walking tour, but it is quite easy to rent bikes and take a bike tour. The bike tour is also fun and you can see even more! I will help you with pleasure with the rental:)

What's included in Sopot Private City Walking or Bike Tour with a local architect
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Bohaterow Monte Cassino
The first pedestrian street in Poland, famous all over the country even today. Back in the time it was the main road to the sea and the fishermen of the small village of Sopot used to take it to go to the sea. There are a lot of stories to tell and I will show you historical pictures so you can see how the center of Sopot has changed over the centuries.
Dworek Sierakowskich
An 18th century building, former guest house of a big manor house. The interiors are interesting, it has a nice back garden, you will like the authenticity of a calm location off the beaten track. You will find here a bust of Fryderyk Chopin as he very probably stayed here when being on holiday and played piano.
Passing on a picturesque bridge over a deep ravine we will get to a street whose first name was Villas Street. The oldest house here is from 1881 and people love the classical architecture style it has.There are more houses to look at and a lot of stories behind the walls… Let’s reveal that in the second part of the 20th century this street was nicknamed “Poland's Montmartre”.
