Darłowo — seaside pearl with history and adventure

It is an ideal direction for people looking for relaxation, contact with nature, as well as active forms of leisure. In Darłowo, everyone will find something for themselves - from walks through the historic old town, through cruises on the sea, to family trips and relaxation in the wellness area.

A city with a royal history

Darłowo boasts a fascinating and rich past, which clearly imprints its mark on the present-day character of the city. It was here, in the 14th century, that Eryk Pomorski was born — an extraordinary figure full of legends. Eric was king of Denmark, Sweden and Norway, and his fate to this day arouse the curiosity of historians and visitors. Although he ruled the Scandinavian countries, it was Darłowo who chose his last refuge as the place of his last refuge. A remnant of his presence is the impressive Castle of the Pomeranian Dukes, where he spent the last years of his life. Today, the castle, located picturesquely on the Wiega River, is one of the most important monuments of the city and a must-see on the route of every tourist.

Visiting the castle is a journey through time — through museum halls, exhibitions and mysterious corridors you can learn about the history of Darłowo and the Pomeranian region. It is also worth climbing the castle tower, from where there is a panoramic view of the entire city and the surrounding countryside. From this perspective, you can perfectly see the layout of the old town, the port and the proximity of the sea, which has shaped the lives of the inhabitants for centuries.

Walking through the historic center of Darlowo, it is easy to move your thoughts to the old eras. Narrow cobbled streets, Gothic churches, medieval walls and charming tenement houses create a unique atmosphere that is difficult to find elsewhere on the Polish coast. It is a place where history is intertwined with the everyday life of the inhabitants, and every corner has its own story. For people who appreciate quiet but inspiring walks, the old town of Darłowo is a place where you want to return — especially with the setting sun and the sounds of bells from the nearby St. Mary's Church.

Natural beauty and active rest

Darłowo is also a great place for lovers of nature and water sports. The beaches are wide, clean and less crowded than in larger resorts, which guarantees a comfortable rest by the sea. In summer, you can take advantage of cruises on ships stylized as former galleons, which leave from the port of Darłówko — the coastal district of the city. The Hoga River makes a great route for kayakers, and nearby bike trails encourage you to explore the area actively.

Hotel Lidia — comfort and relaxation in the heart of Darlowo

When planning a stay in Darlowo, it is worth staying at Hotel Lidia — a place that combines convenience with proximity to the most important attractions. The hotel offers comfortable rooms, a restaurant serving dishes based on local ingredients, as well as a modern SPA & Wellness centre. It is a perfect place for people who want to relax after an eventful day — you can use the pool, sauna or relaxation treatments. Families with children will appreciate the numerous amenities and animations that allow the youngest to spend time actively and safely.

Not only in summer — Darłowo all year round

Although the greatest interest in Darlov falls in the summer months, the city does not lose its charm in the off-season either. Autumn walks along the seashore, winter relaxation in the hotel SPA or spring bike tours around the area — every season has its own unique charm here. In addition, the cultural calendar does not lack interesting events, such as Darlowska Night of Museums, the Rally of Historical Military Vehicles or local fairs.
