Sopot Pier (Molo w Sopocie) is Europe's longest wooden pier, reaching 511.5 m out into the Bay of Gdańsk on the Baltic Sea and forming the star attraction of Poland's Tricity seaside. First built in 1827 and extended to its present length in 1928, it ends at a yacht marina and connects on land to Spa Square (Plac Zdrojowy), where concerts and festivals are held. The pier's tip has long drawn visitors for 'health walks' thanks to iodine-rich sea air, said to be about twice the concentration found on land. In 2026 paid seasonal admission again applies from 10 April to the end of September, so plan a slow stroll into the breeze.

Good to know
SeasonJuly and August are peak season; weekends and afternoons get very crowded. Early mornings, or May–June and early September, are far calmer.
SeasonBaltic winds are strong and evenings stay cool even in summer. Bring a light windbreaker, and take care on the wooden boards, which are slippery when wet.
RulesAdmission is paid in season (10 April–30 September 2026). Buy tickets at the ticket office, machines, or online at molo.sopot.pl, and keep your ticket during the walk in case of checks. Sopot Card residents enter free and Tourist Card holders get a discount (confirm current fees and conditions before you go).
RulesThe pier has pedestrian-only sections where bikes and scooters may be restricted. Follow the on-site signs for dogs, drones and photography rules.
MannersSopot is a quiet spa and resort town. On the pier and Spa Square, keep noise down and be considerate with photo poses so you don't block other strollers.
CautionWatch for pickpockets in peak-season crowds and wear your bag in front. Buy tickets only from official machines, the ticket office or molo.sopot.pl, and check menu prices first at tourist-area restaurants near the pier, which tend to be pricey.
SafetyIf you arrive by SKM commuter train from Gdańsk or Gdynia, validate (punch) your ticket before boarding to avoid a fine for fare evasion. Swim only at designated beaches and do not dive or swim from the pier.
Practical info
Take the SKM commuter train from Gdańsk or Gdynia to Sopot station, then walk about 10 minutes down Monte Cassino Street to the pier entrance. Paid admission runs mid-April to September; in high summer (late June to end of August) the pier is open 24 hours, with time-limited hours in other periods. Fees, opening hours and free-entry conditions change by season, so always check the latest details on molo.sopot.pl and the official MOSiR page before visiting.
