Gdańsk · Sopot · Gdynia SVENSK UTGÅVA MAGAZINE WINTER - SPRING 2020 Nº 11 www.farysdesign.pl Dear VISITORS the end of the winter, we are handing over the spring edi- Attion of the “+48” magazine. We invite you to explore the Pomeranian region offering diverse entertainment options at any time of the year. Gdańsk, Sopot, and Gdynia known as the Tricity, together with its surroundings, create a vigorously developing busi- ness- and investment space – we recommend attractive places to organize events, meetings, or conferences with distinctive, magnif- icent views, thanks to the proximity of the sea. We especially encourage all of you dreaming of a perfect vaca- tion to try agritourism and exciting expeditions outside the Tricity area. Relaxing in the spirit of slow will surely give you an unforget- table experience as well as a rare opportunity to spend some inter- esting time with local hosts, producers, craftsmen, and artists. Art enthusiasts will be pleased by the unique Słupsk museum with a vast art collection by one of the most original Polish artists – Witkacy. Outside urban areas the lovers of silence and nature will find plea- sure in birdwatching, while those driven by curiosity about the world will certainly find a lot of inspiration in activities that seem to rise from the dead. You can bake bread yourself, learn the art of folk embroidery, or take part in a shoeing workshop – it is a great way to relax and spend precious family time. If you seek more sophisticated form of entertainment, we highly recommend golf and yachting, which has recently gained in popularity in Poland. We also remind you of the importance of celebrating moments while tasting the amazing works of food art by Pomeranian chefs or admiring the beauty of amber – the centu- ries-old gold of the north. Enjoy your stay in Poland!
