Gdansk recently marked the important contribution made

by an Irishman whose defence of the city’s minorities

brought him into direct conflict with the Nazis and earned

him the reputation of ‘the most hated man in the German

Reich’. Read more about Sean Lester on page 6.

The Irish have done it. The British have done it. Hell even

the French managed it. But now the real test. Poland. New

smoking legislation came into force on Monday November

15, 2010. We explain the new laws, the exceptions and

wonder if European smoking legislation is about to meet

its match. See page 16.

FOREWORD

One of the beauties of living in somewhere like Poland

is the contrast in climates between the summer and the

winter. With temperatures topping 30 degrees Celsius

in the summer, it may well be the case that you will be

reading this guide with temperatures having moved nearly

50 degrees south of that. And with that the appearance

of Gdansk, Sopot and Gdynia changes dramatically.

Instead of pleasure boats chugging up and down the

Gdansk waterfront past the Gdansk Crane as they do in

the summer expect to see fishermen sitting out in the

middle of the river (the Motlawa) next to a hole in the ice.

In Sopot, the sandy beaches which in the hot weather

heave with sun worshippers, are now snowy beaches

covered with nothing more than the occasional walker and

flocks of swans. In Gdynia, find the Dragon pirate ship now

confined to parties quayside instead of sailing out around

the bay, but the party still going strong regardless. In fact

find a completely different place to visit than if you come

in the summer. Summer cocktails replaced by hot wine.

Salads and light meals served on the terraces replaced

by hearty soups and fortifying main courses next to a fire.

And swimming in the sea replaced by skiing on the slopes

(unless you’re one of those fools who heads out into the

icy bay every New Year’s Day. The temperature range in

effect creates at least two different places giving you a

reason to visit and enjoy the city twice as often. And each

time you visit you’ll find new places opening, new areas

developing and new things to see and do. In this issue you

can read about all the new bars, restaurants and clubs

that have sprung up including one place in Gdynia which

has a menu with no prices. Keep an eye out for a whole

series of events connected to the anniversary of the

birth of one of the city’s most famous sons – Johannes

Hevelius. And read about another of the city’s well-known

sons whose contribution to science probably we really

ought to honour by only using his form of temperature

measurement (like America does). So if you are reading

this while it is 0 degrees Fahrenheit (nearly -18 Celsius in

case you were wondering) do remember to wrap up warm.

Enjoy the city and remember you can contact us at editor_

poland@inyourpocket.com or post a comment online next

to any of the venues.

Europe In Your Pocket

In Your Pocket broke much new ground in 2010,

publishing new guides in the Netherlands (Den

Bosch), in Austria (Vienna), in Croatia (Brac and Senj),

in Slovenia (Celje), in Serbia (Nis) and in Switzerland

(Zurich). We also took the wraps off Prizren In Your

Pocket , a guide to the second largest city in Kosovo ,

produced in cooperation with Cultural Heritage

Without Borders . We also began rolling out iPhone

apps to all our cities.

We will be launching even more In Your Pocket

guides in 2011: to find out which cities we will be

covering, and to keep up to date with all In Your

Pocket news and events, like In Your Pocket on
