- Obrońców Westerplatte - Crossing a scenic bridge over a deep ravine leads to a street originally named Villas Street. The oldest house, dating back to 1881, is admired for its classical architecture. More houses and stories await, and in the latter half of the 20th century, this street earned the nickname “Poland’s Montmartre.”
- Goyki 3 Art Inkubator - Among the largest villas from the late 19th century, the Tower Villa has a poignant history intertwined with music. Built by a merchant for his family, it now houses an art institution in an Alpine Resort style. The building’s Alpine design, despite its seaside location, reflects the European spa resort trend that began in the 18th century.
- Jana Jerzego Haffnera - Sopot is reputed to have Europe’s richest collection of spa architecture. A walk will reveal the meaning and appearance of this architecture. This area is also home to the renowned artist Per Oscar Gustav Dahlberg. Visitors may wish to visit his house and studio to purchase his graphics or albums showcasing Sopot or Gdańsk architecture. If interested, arrangements can be made for a meeting. Dahlberg, a Swedish artist, moved to Sopot in 1996, inspired by its charm. His drawings inspired the design of Sopot’s famous “crooked house.”
- Jan Jerzy Haffner Monument - Sopot offers numerous tennis courts, lush parks, and sandy beaches. A visit to the statue of the town’s “godfather,” a former surgeon in Napoleon’s army, will reveal his story of choosing Sopot as his home long before it gained fame.
- Sofitel Grand Sopot - The Grand Hotel, majestically located on the beach, is a testament to Sopot’s 1920s investment decision. Visitors will hear stories of the hotel’s grandeur.

- Min Hoong Sp. z o.o. Łazienki Południowe - The tour concludes near the Changing Rooms built in 1905, with amusing stories to share. Alternatively, the tour may end at the plaza surrounded by small fishermen’s houses, relocated in 1905.
- Sopot Pier - The tour will pass by the famous pier, providing insights for a future visit.
- Sopot Lighthouse - Climbing the lighthouse steps may be tiring, but the view is rewarding. The decision to visit is left to the participants.
