The City of Sopot

Sopot is a city of inspiration… This is why great care is taken to support both cultural creators and their audiences. A rich and modern cultural infrastructure, the work of cultural institutions, and numerous non-governmental organizations contribute to this, bringing fresh ideas and creativity to the city.

During the summer season, Sopot offers a wide range of festivals and cultural events, including the Sopot Film Festival, Sopot Classic – a festival of classical music, the Literary Sopot Festival, and Sopot Non-Fiction, dedicated to documentary theater. The city is also home to several theater stages, such as Teatr Boto and the Scena Kameralna of the Wybrzeże Theatre. The National Gallery of Art is one of the most important galleries in Poland, while Art Incubator serves as both a creative workspace for artists and a gathering place for Sopot’s residents.
