The Pomeranian Science and Technology Park has a large underground paid parking zone. The entrance is located behind the PSTP Gdynia buildings, on the Paweł Łaźniak’s street.
Pomeranian Science and Technology Park Gdynia has been adapted for people with disabilities and people with strollers.
The Open’er music festival is being held parallel to GDD. Therefore, in this period the number of available accommodations may be very small and beds can be expensive (especially in the first weekend of July).
Information about accommodation can be searched for on pages like booking.com or Airbnb.
Although the decision to build a port was made in 1926, after Gdynia and Poland regained access to the sea, most leisure time is spent in the south. Let's change that and fall in love with Gdynia! A lot of great restaurants and cafes await you here, where you can relax in the green and on the beach listening to the sounds of the sea.
While visiting Gdynia during the Gdynia Design Days, follow the route of Gdynia’s modernism, murals and discover the ubiquitous design.
