The Pomeranian theatrical offerings are exceptionally wide-ranging - every spectator will surely find something that suits them. It is best to start your theatre journey with the Gdańsk Shakespeare Theatre, which is inspired by its 17th-century predecessor and operates as a receiving house for guest performances. There are also numerous avant-garde, puppet and smaller fringe theatres across the region.
Concert halls in the Pomeranian Region host not only concerts, but also meet-the-author sessions, art exhibitions, dance theatre performances and various video screenings. Whereas the Baltic Opera attracts the audience with beautiful artistic spectacles, such as opera or ballet performances, which consist only a part of its repertoire. It is also worth attending a symphonic, chamber or jazz concert.
Without a doubt, Pomerania has rich and varied museum offerings. The museums that enjoy the biggest popularity among the locals and tourists are historical museums, including the Museum of Solidarity, the Museum of The Second World War or the Emigration Museum. When in the Tri-City, you cannot be indifferent to the museums dedicated to the region, like the Amber Museum or the National Maritime Museum.
Apart from a number of popular multiplexes, local art houses are definitely noteworthy. The perfect place for those who cannot stand the smell of popcorn or those who are cycling enthusiasts is the ŻAK cinema (where you can bring your bike into the screening room). Fans of ambitious, artistic films will certainly appreciate the Gdynia Film Centre.
Science centres in the Tri-City combine history and science with modern, interactive exhibitions. Kids, as well as adults will find them a source of top-quality knowledge and inspiration.
