Metropolitan Area Gdańsk Gdynia Sopot

The hugely popular European Night of Museums returns to the metropolitan area and will take place this year on the evening of Saturday May 21.

Grab your bike, sign up to your local city team and get riding. Residents and companies from Gdansk and Gdynia are joining their local teams to take on cities from all over Europe in this year’s European Cycling Challenge – Europe’s largest urban cycling competition. Have fun, save CO2, contribute to more sustainable mobility as well as help yourself and your city win prizes.

The European Solidarity Centre (ECS) in Gdansk has been awarded the prestigious 2016 Council of Europe Museum Prize. The museum will keep the trophy, La femme aux beaux seins (The woman with beautiful breasts) by Joan Miró for one year.

At the start of April a brand new idea was presented at a press conference in Sopot, which would see the various municipalities and local governments of the Gdansk-Gdynia-Sopot Metropolitan Area (OMG-G-S) integrate their activities in regards to the Civic Budget.
