You probably chose Sopot for your stay for a reason and you already know how much charm this city has. You also know that you absolutely cannot get bored here, although if someone has such a wish, they will find many opportunities to do so. Because although the popular Monciak is always busy in the summer, it is enough to head to the side streets leading up the city and get lost between the streets lined with historic villas to experience peace.
