Understand

Talk

The people of Pomeranian Voivodeship speak standard Polish. Kashubes speak Kashubian too. Due to its history, many inhabitants have at least cursory knowledge of German. As in the entirety of Poland, English knowledge is on the rise, particularly among the younger generations. The region sees a fair amount of tourism and thus many service-sector employees have a reasonable fluency in English. Other languages that can be spoken by locals include Finnish, Norwegian, Russian, and Ukrainian.

Get in

By plane

The region's airport is the Gdańsk Lech Wałęsa Airport (GDN IATA) in Gdańsk. One of the busiest airports in Poland, it is served by many flights to other countries in Europe, also connecting to intercontinental flights.

Jastrzębia Góra: A tourist hotspot, most to the north advanced promontory of Poland (N54°50', E18°20'). The town stands on a spectacular cliff, which in some places stands over 55 meters above sea level. An attractive tourist destination with clean and wide sandy beaches.
