Biking through the Tri-City – unique routes in our area.

15.05.2024

Hotel Smart, located at a strategic point in Gdansk, is an excellent starting point for anyone who wants to combine a love for cycling adventures with comfortable relaxation. Both the City of Gdansk and its neighbors: Sopot and Gdynia, are successively expanding their network of bicycle paths. With each summer period, there are more and more of them, which allows reaching really many points.

We have selected three unique routes for you, which will satisfy both amateurs of cultural discoveries and nature lovers.

All you need to do is prepare your bike or rent one on-site and head out with full energy!

Prefer to rent a bike on the spot? There's a simple solution! In the Tri-City area, there is an accessible system of unmanned city bike rental stations - Mevo. The nearest station is located at Aleja Grunwaldzka 141. Starting from our Hotel, we are there in 5 minutes.

Mevo means city bikes, thus our described Route 2 is not intended for this type of bikes.

Below are the routes we have prepared:

Route 1: Following the trail of Gdansk's history – cycling through the Main City!

Route length: about 21 km

Duration: 2-3 hours of riding

Route description: Starting from Hotel Smart, you head towards the Main City through the Imperial Shipyard, Ołowianka, along the Dead Vistula. The route will lead you to the historic streets and alleys of the Main City. The road also leads past the most important attractions, such as the Crane, St. Mary's Church, and Neptune. Along the way, you will also pass places such as the European Solidarity Centre, the Museum of the Second World War, or the “Milky Peter” exhibition center. We highly recommend visiting all 3 places and extending this tour.

The route can be individually modified, and the above-mentioned objects can be visited with a guide.

Route 2: Adventure in the “Green Paradise” – escapade in the Tri-City Landscape Park.

Route length: about 30 km

Duration: 3-4 hours of riding

Route description: This route takes you deep into the green lungs of the Tri-City. Leaving Hotel Smart, you will ride through the forests and reserves of the Tri-City Landscape Park. Discover hidden lakes, observe wild fauna, and enjoy a picnic surrounded by nature.

The route requires moderate effort as in the park you may encounter both mountains and valleys. Remember to always have a sufficient amount of drinking water and something energetic to nibble on, which will replenish the energy "burned" on the route.

The Tri-City Landscape Park is full of challenges!

Route 3: In search of the sea breeze – along the beach from Gdansk to Sopot.

Route length: about 30 km

Duration: 3 hours of riding

Route description: From Hotel Smart head towards the Brzezno Park, and from there head west towards Sopot. This picturesque route offers spectacular views of the sea, promenades, beaches, forests, and old buildings of both Gdansk and Sopot. Enjoy the sea breeze and the sun rays. Stop for a swim in the sea or relax in one of the numerous Sopot cafes.

Or maybe you'll choose both options?

The route is easy, perfect for a calm, relaxing, sunny day. Sunscreen and sunglasses are a must!

Still wondering whether to come? Physical activity and relaxation in one. On top of that, iodine, sun, sea breeze - what more could you want?

Cycling not only allows you to admire the beauty of our area up close, but also has a beneficial effect on your health. Regular physical activity significantly improves heart condition, lowers blood pressure, as well as reduces stress and improves overall well-being.

Iodine, which naturally occurs in seaside air, supports the functioning of the thyroid gland and improves metabolism. The sun, by providing vitamin D essential for health, strengthens bones and improves mood. Let's also not forget about rest, which is a key element of regeneration.

Combined with picturesque views and fresh seaside air, every minute spent on a bike brings benefits to the body and spirit.
