    Poll Pitstop: Should Cars Be Kicked Out of Central Gdańsk? Participants Say ‘Yes’, ‘No’, or ‘Only on Weekends’!

    City Court results: 12 votes cast by participating readers. This is an informal online poll, not a representative survey.

    • Yes, ban them: (58.3%)
    • No, keep cars: (8.3%)
    • Only on weekends: (33.3%)

    Poll Results: A Traffic Jam of Opinions

    After a two-day poll asking, “Should cars be banned from central Gdańsk?”, our voters have spoken—or rather, they’ve signalled. The options were clear: “Yes, ban them,” “No, keep cars,” and the wily compromise, “Only on weekends.”

    The verdict? A cheeky 58.3% opted to give the cars the boot entirely. Perhaps they envision cobbled streets free of honking and fumes, where cyclists and pedestrians reign supreme. Meanwhile, a (8.3%) bravely defended the right to keep cars buzzing through central Gdańsk, possibly clinging to their cherished parking spot or morning dash to the bakery.

    Not to be overlooked, a solid 33.3% voted for the weekend ban—striking a balance between car-free serenity on days off and weekday convenience. It seems some voters dream of sipping coffee in a carless plaza come Saturday, but still want their weekday commute to remain less of a trek.

  • Gdańsk Wins Nightlife Battle. Gdynia Loses, Sopot Laughs.

    Gdańsk Wins Nightlife Battle. Gdynia Loses, Sopot Laughs.

    122 people voted in our latest City Court poll, and Gdańsk has absolutely battered Gdynia.

    The Results

    • Gdańsk. Obviously: 72.7%
    • Gdynia. No Contest: 27.3%
    • Sopot Is Laughing: 0%

    The Verdict: Gdańsk Wins. Gdynia Wants a Rematch.

    Well, that was awkward.

    We asked who has the better nightlife, Gdańsk or Gdynia, and nearly three out of four voters picked Gdańsk.

    Ouch.

    To be fair, Gdańsk has plenty going on after dark. From the bars around Piwna and Długa to the madness of Stocznia, there’s usually somewhere to go, someone to meet and a questionable decision waiting to happen.

    Gdynia put up a fight, grabbing just over 27% of the votes. Respect to the loyal locals who still believe Świętojańska and the surrounding streets can deliver a proper night out.

    And then there’s Sopot.

    Zero votes.

    Not because nobody likes Sopot, but because apparently nobody felt like giving the city famous for partying a reason to get involved.

    It’s probably too busy recovering from last weekend anyway.

    Of course, this was just a fun online poll, not some official nightlife championship. But 122 people had their say, and the result wasn’t exactly close.

    The final verdict? Gdańsk takes the nightlife crown, Gdynia gets a participation medal, and Sopot is still wondering why it wasn’t invited to the party.

    Case closed.

    Now, who’s buying the next round?

  • Gdynia: Boring or Brilliant? Our Court Poll Shows It’s a Tale of Two Evenings

    Gdynia: Boring or Brilliant? Our Court Poll Shows It’s a Tale of Two Evenings

    The Verdict: Gdynia Isn’t Boring. It Just Doesn’t Try as Hard as Sopot.

    Gdynia has had its day in City Court, and the verdict is in.

    Almost half the voters reckon Gdynia is underrated. Another 31% think it’s fine until 10 pm. And roughly one in five admit they find it a little boring.

    Fair enough. Not every city needs to be everyone’s cup of tea.

    Spend an afternoon around Świętojańska, grab a coffee, wander down to Skwer Kościuszki or walk along the Bulwar, and it’s easy to understand why locals love the place.

    But let’s talk about Saturday night.

    While Sopot is filling up with people looking for trouble and Gdańsk is deciding which bar to hit next, Gdynia can feel like someone’s already called last orders.

    Then again, ask a proper Gdynia local whether they’d swap their city for Sopot, and you’ll probably get laughed out of the room.

    Maybe that’s the whole point. Gdynia has never been desperate to impress anyone.

    The final verdict? Gdynia is officially underrated, occasionally sleepy and completely unapologetic about it.

    Case closed. Now somebody find us a bar that’s still open.
