Internet Cafes

Access to the weird and wonderful world of cyberspace is a must when you're travelling through strange and surprising countries. And one of Poland great attractions is that it's a treasure trove of the unusual and the peculiar. No wonder film director David Lynch fell in love with the country - now he's even set up a film studio in fair old Polska.

If you're keen to dispatch your friends news of the strange customs of eating lard, the delights of Polish film-dubbing or the glorious cult of the moustache, then you'll need to make a beeline for these internet dens.

Gdansk has an ever-expanding range of internet cafes, likewise Sopot and Gdynia. Here we've selected a few to get you started, and please let us know if you find any hidden gems!
