Sopot is one of the most popular destinations for Polish tourists, but also for those from abroad. It is mainly associated with relaxation, while few people know the history of this place. Let me tell you how it happened that Sopot became one of the most popular resorts on the Baltic Sea. This will be a brief history from its inception to the mid-19th century. Enjoy!
