Brzezno Pier, Gdansk

Brzezno Pier, situated in the Brzeźno district of Gdańsk, stands as a serene escape from urban life, offering visitors a chance to immerse themselves in the scenic beauty of the sea and the unique atmosphere of Gdańsk. This structure, blending wooden and concrete elements, is not only an architectural marvel but also a vantage point for breathtaking panoramas of the Gulf of Gdańsk and the tri-city landscape of Gdańsk, Sopot, and Gdynia.

Measuring 136 meters in length and 7.2 meters in width, the pier extends from Aleja Jana Pawła II. Its construction, completed between 1993 and 1996, led to its grand opening on July 19, 1996. This pier holds historical significance as the second of its kind in this district, following the first pier built in 1900, which was 100 meters long. The original pier underwent expansions in the interwar years, reaching 250 meters in length and 6 meters in width. The location of the previous pier, closer to Brzeźno's center and known as "Budami" due to numerous small eateries, contrasts with the current pier's site.

The Brzeźno Pier is celebrated for its family-friendly attractions, cultural events, and entertainment options, making it a magnet for both locals and tourists. Visitors can indulge in leisurely walks, relish stunning sunsets, observe ships and boats, and partake in various seaside activities. Its position allows for a clear view of the Gulf of Gdańsk, including sights such as the Sopot pier with its soaring boats and the obscured view of Gdynia by the eagle cliff.
