This is what Sopot looks like on a rainy morning. This view may surprise you
The weather on the Baltic Sea is not kind to tourists. However, a rainy morning was not an obstacle to going for a walk on the pier in Sopot.
On Tuesday, September 10, Poles in Sopot were greeted by a rainy morning. Autumn is slowly beginning on the Baltic Sea, and although temperatures are still hovering around 20 degrees Celsius, it is wet and cloudy. Tourists are, however, taking advantage of the last days of their planned vacation in an active way, and despite the unfavorable weather, they are already walking along the Sopot pier at 8 a.m. In recent years, we have been increasingly seeing greater interest in vacations on the Baltic Sea in September and October.
Sopot on Tuesday at 8 am
Rain clouds have reached the heads of holidaymakers on the Baltic Sea, and they do not intend to disappear in the coming days. Only Wednesday (11.09) will bring a short break from the wet and cloudy weather. Although it is still relatively warm (thermometers on the coast will show even 21 degrees Celsius today), autumn is already in the air. However, the unfavourable biometeor does not prevent Poles from taking morning walks. We could see walkers on the Sopot pier already before 8 a.m. Families with children armed with raincoats and umbrellas briskly walked through one of the biggest attractions of the Tri-City.
The walking part of the pier is 511.5 meters long, so it takes an average of 12 minutes to walk along the promenade in both directions. To use the attraction, residents must show their Sopot Card at the ticket office, while tourists must purchase a special entry ticket. However, starting October 1, entry to the Sopot pier will be free for everyone.
Holidays in September and October
A visit to the Polish seaside is beneficial for your health at any time of year. Poles know this, and they are increasingly willing to go to the Baltic Sea not only in September and October, but also during the winter months. This is when you can find the best prices for accommodation in seaside resorts (including those with swimming pools or saunas). The colder months are also a good time to quietly explore the largest city in the region. Gdańsk, without the crowds of tourists and inflated prices, will appeal to every lover of architecture, history and good food.
