The 30km-long, narrow Hel peninsula is famous for its beaches, resorts, and surfing camps. You can get from Gdansk to the town of Hel on its tip by car or by train in about 2 hours. However, a three-hour sea voyage may be preferable. The ticket will cost you around 10 euro. Note that the cruises are available from May through September. When in Hel, visit Seal Sanctuary, Fisheries Museum in a 14th-century church and climb the 41-meter high lighthouse.

The Tri-city, which includes Gdansk, is generally safe. However, Baltic resorts attract both tourists and petty criminals, including pickpockets. Store documents and valuables in secure pockets and don’t leave them in outer clothing casually lying around! Beware of strange people asking you questions or bumping into you. Also, avoid leaving valuables or bags in your car.
