Gdańsk in the autumn version, a city worth discovering outside the season

October 1, 2024

In autumn, Gdańsk reveals its reflective side – a city that is full of life and attracts crowds of tourists in the summer, becomes calmer and more intimate in October, but its charm is still alive. Warm, golden light penetrates the old, historic streets, and the sound of the wind mixes with the sound of rustling leaves. Every step along the cobbled, empty alleys reminds us of forgotten stories and secrets. In such moments, you can truly feel the spirit of this place – with centuries of tradition, full of stories hidden in the walls of tenement houses and on the banks of the Motława River.

When summer draws its last breath, Gdańsk can become a refuge for those who are looking for a break from everyday worries. Without crowds, noise and rush, it invites us to return to simple and authentic experiences. This is the perfect time to immerse yourself in a space that does not distract, but allows you to focus, stop for a moment and just be :)

I invite you to break away from routine and try to find peace within yourself, enjoying autumn in the heart of the Tri-City.

The golden hour - Sobieszewska Island in the autumn frame

September 6, 2024

September brings subtle changes in the air – mornings become cooler and evenings gain new depth, as if the world is preparing for a transformation. At this time, when most tourists return to their daily duties, nature awaits those who want to experience it in its most beautiful form – in autumnal glow.

The sun, although still present for many hours, now gives a softer, golden light that gives uniqueness to all the shots. Those who seek peace and relaxation in the rhythm of nature will find it in the threads of Indian summer on Sobieszewska Island.
This is a place that not only tempts with empty beaches and the soothing sound of waves, but also offers something more – immersion in nature and the most beautiful landscapes painted by its forces. Autumnal colours combined with silence inspire, and the golden hour – a special time when light and shadow create an incredible harmony – completes the spectacle.
I invite you – with your camera – to this exceptional island to discover its autumnal magic.

The long-awaited vacation for many of us has just begun! If you are wondering whether it is worth going to the Polish seaside, I will answer straight away - of course it is!

The sound of the sea, the singing of birds - from the deck of a yacht through the Baltic oasis of peace

April 30, 2024

Warm spring and the fast approaching summer are conducive to making holiday decisions - both the more thoughtful and long-awaited ones, as well as the spontaneous ones, in which only a few moments pass from impulse and inspiration to the decision.

In spring and summer, the Baltic Sea delights not only with its beautiful nature, but also with favorable sailing conditions. Wide, sandy beaches, blue skies and relatively mild winds create an ideal atmosphere for cruises on the Bay of Gdańsk and the Martwa Vistula. The views during such an adventure are unforgettable - the rhythmic waves and the water shimmering in the sun are unforgettable.

If you are looking for inspiration for a shorter or longer holiday, I invite you to Sobieszewska Island to the Grano Solmarina Hotel and Apartments - the only ones with their own marina for mooring boats, as well as offering a cruise organized by Premium Yachting in the price of your stay!

In the footsteps of Gdańsk murals - a colorful May weekend by the sea

April 11, 2024

The recent warm, and sometimes hot, days have naturally encouraged many of us to plan the upcoming May weekend. Looking out the window and at the thermometers, we are optimistic about these few (even five!) free days outdoors. Although of course the idea of a barbecue with friends and family gives positive vibes, it is worth focusing on new experiences and doing something special from time to time ;)

And when the May weather is favorable, bustling Gdańsk becomes a paradise for lovers of active leisure. However, the city can offer much more than just walks by the sea. Spring is also a perfect time to immerse yourself in the pulsating urban culture, and street art is one of the most exciting experiences.

Today I invite you to explore the city from the perspective of colorful street murals.

Spring on the Sobieszewska Island

March 28, 2024

Spring is the time when nature comes to life, recalling forgotten bird melodies in the morning. This is the period when the first, delicate buds bloom on the trees, and after a while they burst into green, and the meadows are covered with colorful flowers, creating unique carpets of nature. The sun's rays heat the earth, setting the entire ecosystem in motion - from the smallest insects to majestic mammals. For us, lovers, but also of the elements of nature, spring is a moment of awakening after winter lethargy and a time of new hopes for a beautiful tomorrow. For many, it is the most wonderful time of the year :)

If you are not sure whether you belong to this group, check it out on Sobieszewska Island. Walking on the beaches, where the sea waves create collages on the sand, you can feel how time slows down and the hustle and bustle of everyday life is far behind you. In this peaceful place, surrounded by forest and sea, you will find relief for your soul and body. In such circumstances, it is definitely easier to love spring again or give it a chance for the first time ;)

I invite you to discover spring inspirations and catch your breath surrounded by beautiful, awakening nature accompanied by unique bird accompaniment :)

Spring aura has something unique about it - it awakens our senses to life, evoking joy and promising a new beginning.

Discovering Gdańsk in winter is a journey into a completely different dimension than the commonly known one. Although low temperatures and sometimes snowy weather limit some typical seaside activities such as sunbathing, they also open the door to new experiences. And we will focus on them today :)

Peaceful walks around the charming corners of the city, visiting monuments and enjoying local cuisine can become an unforgettable adventure that will awaken your appetite for more. Museums, theaters and exhibitions are waiting for this. I invite you to travel to Gdańsk a little off-season.

Christmas in Gdańsk, a meeting of tradition, fun and a magical atmosphere

December 21, 2023

Ho, ho, ho – the countdown to Christmas is in full swing! Therefore, it is worth taking a look at where Christmas, together with the pre- and post-Christmas period, can revive and preserve the most beautiful memories. Personally, I think that Gdańsk is the perfect place to spend this unique winter time :) And why? Let me explain!

In Gdańsk, tradition mixes with modernity, creating a unique Christmas mosaic that we wait for all year round. Streets illuminated with thousands of lights, the sounds of Christmas carols permeating the Royal Route, the smell of cinnamon and gingerbread floating in the air and a cup of mulled wine warming the hands of passersby - all this makes the city even more magical than in the remaining 11 months.

I invite you to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of Gdańsk's Christmas splendor ✨

Winter guide to Tricity's ice rinks

December 5, 2023

A week of frosty and snowy winter is behind us! I think that many snow lovers rubbed their eyes with surprise and joy when the world was covered with white powder in November. So I thought about preparing additional inspiration for those who enjoy the sight of snow boots, and who enjoy woolen sweaters and hats, which bring back warm childhood memories, displacing thoughts of scraping windows in the morning ;)

The snow-white surface illuminated by the glow of lamps, the sound of the subtle creaking of skates gliding on the ice, the buzz of conversations and the laughter of children - this place, regardless of age, always arouses excitement and joy. Ice rink. Regardless of whether you are a figure skating champion, dance on ice or are just crawling on the ice surface, holding the arm of your loved ones or... a gang, such a winter adventure is a guarantee of good fun and unforgettable moments.

In today's article, I will try to introduce you to the world of Tri-City ice rinks, share with you some practical tips and tell you what to do when you take off your figure skates or hockey shoes.

Autumn flavors of Gdańsk - culinary inspirations from the Motława River

November has settled outside our windows for good. The last leaves are still hanging in the wind, but there is no doubt that the ongoing battle is unequal. A similar game between staying in a warm bed and leaving it on colder mornings takes place in many of our homes. Not so long ago, I observed the results of a survey on one of the Instagram accounts I follow, and the answers to the question about the least favorite month in Poland were merciless - the vast majority of us would like to wait for November or skip it altogether, jumping straight into the period of December decorations, gifts or world ;)

However, there are also those who love autumn. Being an "autumn person" is currently fashionable and at every step we meet someone enjoying the opportunities offered by the cooler weather and shorter days. That's why I thought it would be worth letting the lovers of colorful leaves, woolen blankets and... seasonal delicacies convince you! Today I am taking you on a journey through the autumn flavors of Gdańsk. Enjoy your meal!

This year's autumn spoils us. September and October are warm and allow you to enjoy the benefits of outdoor activities. It's true that we may long for longer days, but the shorter ones also bring many sunny moments that are worth taking advantage of.

So I thought that for many of us, week-long holidays or those more distant in terms of distance, during which we spend many hours in the car or train, may no longer be the ideal solution for our days off. On the other hand, however, a thought comes to mind - do you have to go to the other end of the world to relax? I'm sure not. Therefore, I invite you, the inhabitants of the Tricity, for a short break on... Sobieszewska Island, located 15 km from the Old Town of Gdańsk, to GRANO HOTEL SOLMARINA.

Cultural end of summer in Tricity

August 16, 2023

The weather in the Tri-City during the long August weekend was really good. A large group of tourists came to the seaside, and the beaches were bursting at the seams. To be completely honest - there were not many such convenient opportunities for sunbathing and sea bathing this summer. In addition, it is often heard - both from friends and in the statements of travelers - that for guests, especially those with children, August 15 is the last moment when they decide to go on a summer vacation.

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.

Easter seaside walk in Tricity

March 27, 2023

Easter is coming. 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. Slowly, Easter away from home - with family or on the contrary - is gaining the name of a new tradition.

And I understand it perfectly. Easter, in addition to religious aspects, is already associated with spring and the next awakening of the natural world. And we - hungry for sun, fresh air and rest - willingly combine the Catholic celebration of the paschal mystery with the tangible world of the first blooming flowers, buds on trees and singing birds.

I was wondering what I would like to tell you about in this article and I came to the conclusion that I would write about what I have been doing for many years on Easter Sunday or Monday. Last year and the upcoming holidays, I was and will be accompanied by my closest family. The fact how happy they are spending Christmas in the Tri-City and how many people we meet on our Easter path makes me think that many tourists feel the same way.

That's why I invite you for a walk to the sea ;)

Tricity with children - is it worth it? It's worth it!

March 13, 2023

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?".

Of course - no wonder! There are at least plenty of interesting proposals in Poland and in the world, and the number of vacation days for most of us - let's be honest - is relatively small. That is why we want the choice to be as interesting as possible, meeting the needs of our family and guaranteeing that we will really have something to do in case of bad weather, bad mood or ordinary child fatigue.

I - with full conviction - will always encourage you to come to Gdańsk and the Tri-City in general! But why? Because on the Tri-City trail you will not find time for boredom.

Women's Day in Tricity

February 27, 2023

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 us from disenchanting it from the then ubiquitous carnations and tights ;) We have an impact on whether we make it a unique and beautiful time spent in accordance with our needs and desires remembering the rights we have.

Women's Day, because that's what we're talking about, is today a day when many women want to find time for themselves, open up to new ones, look inside themselves, but also spend joyful moments in the company of other ladies. Fortunately, the possibilities are plenty. I will propose to the ladies (and I will be addressing my words to them, but the proposals have no gender, so I also encourage you to read and use the ideas) a few ways that seem to be a nice alternative for those who need a breath of body and spirit.

Winter holidays by the sea

February 2, 2022

If I conducted a short survey and asked what do you associate winter holidays with, most of you would probably give answers such as: skiing, snowboarding, sledding, mountains, snow, hot tea and a snowball fight.

So let's look for something special for us, and certainly open up to something new to broaden our horizons.

This year autumn is spoiling us. It would seem that September is behind us. Meanwhile, last weekend we put our watches back one hour. The children of the neighborhood, dressed as witches and ghosts, ran joyfully shouting "trick or treat", and we showered them with sweets to think about our nobles a bit later.

And although it is probably hard to believe it now, in a few weeks golden leaves will be replaced by frost, and walks without a hat will turn out to be a big challenge. November evenings, suspended between gold in autumn and winter, are a good time to think about… Christmas and how we will spend it this year. And it is worth considering as soon as possible, because there are more and more people willing to survive these days away from home.

Walk through the autumn Gdańsk

September 16, 2021

For several days I have been feeling more and more that autumn is approaching us with great strides. Increased traffic of cars on the streets, crowds of students on school playgrounds, and finally mushroom pickers encountered during a forest walk, proudly presenting the trophies in the baskets - eye-catching porcupines, goats and butterflies. And the first threads of Indian summer, floating freely in the golden rays of the sun, clearly signal that nature is slowly getting ready for sleep.

For most of us, this September time is a return to routine and a certain normality after many months of pandemic struggles. Time to rest at home after intensive days at school and at work.

Postcard from autumn Gdańsk

September 1, 2021

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

- For everything - smiling heartily, I glanced at the horizon.

The answer, trivial as it may seem, is exactly what I feel. The sea made itself at home in my soul a long time ago. And, perhaps, it's not the most popular opinion - I love it after the summer season. The second half of August, September, October and November have their own, more strict, but also majestic laws.

It is then that the sea seems to me the most beautiful and has a special power of attraction. Storms appearing more and more often, dark blue clouds towering proudly over the turbulent surface, sunbeams piercing through them, wind tugging on the hair and sandy spaces, with few tourists looking for the same experiences and emotions.

Shipyard from the water perspective

Do you remember which trip I invited you on last week? If not entirely, and you are hungry for sensations, I encourage you to follow the description of the cruise on our blog. I will introduce you to this story briefly. At that time, we sailed in a Galar, a replica of Polish river boats widespread in the 18th century, used for single transport of goods, i.e. salt, grain, soap and lime. On board, along with other daredevils, I crossed the waters of the Motława and Nowa Motława, and we saw Gdansk from a completely different, noteworthy, perspective.

Gdańsk from the water perspective

The holiday season at the Polish seaside is in full swing! We also started the summer with a bang in the Tri-City, because the temperatures only occasionally drop below 20 degrees Celsius, which makes everyone thirsty for hot sand, sunbathing and swimming in the waves happy. However, Gdańsk not only lives by the sea and has many other interesting tricks up its sleeve. For those who are looking for a respite by the water, but not necessarily on the vast beaches or jumping among the Baltic snowmen, I have very good news. Just like for lovers of learning about history anew, and above all, a look at the famous face of the city from... an unknown perspective - the perspective of water.

I invite you to the report from the cruise!

Holiday on four paws

May 11, 2021

There are only a few weeks left until the holidays! Spring sun is slipping into our bedrooms earlier and earlier, reminding us that it's high time to plan your vacation. Many of us will go on a trip with loved ones: spouses, partners, children, parents, with friends or solo. But, but - are I sure to mention all those who are happy at the thought of rest, carefree, beautiful views and being by our side? Definitely not!

A few words about hotels during the lockdown - guide

March 31, 2021

Open hotels or closed hotels? 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 interest our guests, readers and people looking for answers to the most bothering questions. With you in mind, I have prepared this short booking guide during the next lockdown.

Museums in Gdańsk - the amber route to the King of the Celts

March 17, 2021

Museums in the Pomeranian Voivodeship closed again? Unfortunately, this is a pandemic truth. They are closed to visitors until at least March 28, 2021. But does that make it not worth writing about them? From my point of view, absolutely not! These additional two weeks give us time to get to know the museums in Gdańsk and the Tri-City better and to visit in April those objects and exhibitions that made the greatest impression on us, interested us or simply - we have not been to them yet. And that museums occupy a special place on the tourist map, I don't think I need to convince anyone. All the statistics from recent years clearly show that the number of museums and museum branches is constantly growing, and there are more and more visitors each year. So let's join this large group of visitors as soon as possible!

Museums in Gdańsk - modern about history

February 23, 2021

Museums have a special place on the tourist map. It is in them that we remember history anew, we learn about facts that we have not heard about before. Thanks to them, we can move back in time to both very distant and very close periods. Museum exhibitions provide an opportunity to better understand the past. Participation in history is also a great tool for a better interpretation of the situation, empathizing with it, sometimes it allows you to understand the motives behind actions and events.

Winter adventure with children in the Tri-City

January 26, 2021

Hu hu ha! Hu hu ha! Our winter…. pretty good! Children like winter. For many adults, this statement may seem surprising, because they often associate them mainly with clearing snow from cars or a backyard pavement, but for the youngest the vision of making a snowman, making an eagle or an angel in the snow, rolling down a hill in white powder, and above all a battle snowballs with parents and friends are still very much anticipated. It is not without reason that the Disney's "Frozen" has enjoyed unwavering popularity for many years among the younger and slightly older ones, and has just got its second part. I strongly encourage, despite the January season, to follow the example of Elsa, Anna, Olaf the snowman and Sven's reindeer and try to find winter beauty. Let's help children create beautiful memories that we surely have ourselves! So I invite you to the Tri-City to check what winter has hidden for us in the forest, on the hill and… in a hiding place.

Winter evening in Gdańsk

23 December 2020

2020 will go down in history for many reasons. The catchy slogans "2020 cannot be forgotten" or "2020 still in shape", did not leave the headlines, were the reason for writing articles, entries, and also a great opportunity to create countless memes. The Year 2020 itself has been changed by all cases, and its ending is still very exciting. For many of us, saying goodbye to him will not be particularly sad and difficult. Regardless of whether the last months have been gentle with us, have initiated positive changes, or we do not like them excessively, let's look with hope and make the best of this winter time.

Lockdown

Lockdown, November 24, 2020
I love business trips! Although I did not go to them often, I always looked forward to another trip with great joy. Everything for a simple reason - after work, even very late, you are still in a new place, maybe 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 treat them only as a task of significant importance for you or your company? Or maybe you combine them with the opportunity to rest and explore new places and people?

Some ideas for running lovers

Actively in the Tri-City, 9 November 2020

November comes unexpectedly. Over time, we get used to shorter days and brighter mornings. Outside the windows more and more leaves are blown in the wind, fog rises above the meadows, and the vision of a warm blanket and an interesting book creeps into our thoughts. You can wait this moment and rest. You can also roll up your long sleeves and take care of your health, immunity, good condition, as well as cultivate certain habits in order to wake up in a better shape in spring than in the previous year.

Some ideas for cycling enthusiasts

Actively in the Tri-City, 12 October 2020

Yellow and red leaves sway in 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 little signals remind us that the golden Polish autumn has already arrived at the seaside and is slowly trying to make ourselves at home in our heads and hearts. Let's give her a chance!

In the mainstream of history

A family weekend in September, 14 September 2020

After a day full of attractions, the youngest dreamed their childhood dreams. Still in their imagination, they were building from sand, splashing each other with sea water, jumping on stones and imitating the sounds of animals. In the morning, refreshed, with a smile on their faces, they woke up and quietly climbed into their sleepy parents' bed. The beginning of the day belonged to the family. The morning is a great time to tell what each of them liked the most, what impressions they will share with their friends in the kindergarten, and what attractions are waiting for today.

Author of the Grano Hotels blog Daria Bałdyga

Hi! I am Daria and I want to tell you a few words about myself.

Ever since I was a child, I loved spinning the globe and wandering my finger on the map. That's probably why I became a geographer. I was able to combine my passion with work. For many years I have run and organized themed camps for children and adolescents, playing the role of a pirate captain and exploring the secrets of survival, to become a MICE coordinator today. On weekends, you can meet me as a facilitator of short orienteering marches for families or extreme rallies for adults. I love my border collie Inari madly. I train agility with her and throw Frisbee. Her wet nose motivates me every day to expand my knowledge of the canine world. I like being active and on the move. I run and cycle in the woods, backpacking in the mountains, and wandering off-road. When I close my eyes, I see the northern lands: beautiful, wild landscapes, space and the warmth of candles placed in the windows. I like to wander around old cities and delve into their history. After an active day, I gladly assume the yoga pose of a pigeon or cheer on the developing leaves of my potted flowers. I compulsively collect crayons, felt-tip pens, pens, notebooks, stickers and washi tapes, creating a bullet journal. I love to hide under a blanket with a cup of tea and read. I look longingly for fiction and reportages. From time to time I also write short forms about emotions that accompany us in our lives.

Sit down and make yourself comfortable in this space!
