10 Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Gdansk That You Shouldn't Miss

July 30, 2021 Tynisha Seiler

One of Poland’s most beautiful cities, Gdansk, on the Baltic Sea, has played major roles in history, especially in the 20th-century. It was the 1939 flash point of World War II, and then in 1980, the birthplace of the Solidarnosc labor movement, ushering the end of Communist domination in Eastern Europe. Gdansk’s Old Town, painstakingly reconstructed to its Hanseatic League glory after being leveled in World War II, is a highlight. The 14th-century Town Hall houses the city’s historical museum.

Best place to chill during the day and to party at night! Perfect to hang out during summer. Amazing quality, the best music, cool design, industrial feel and super GOOD VIBES. The view of the shipyard is worth checking out. One of my favourite places in Tricity ????

Crane (Zuraw)

Reviewed By lizandianp

Safely embedded in a massive brick city gate this crane did stering work loading and unloading lighters and stepping masts for the ships built in Gdansk. It is powered by twin two man treadmills and has two "jibs" at different heights but both capable of heavy lifting. Stairs take you almost to the top but they get very narrow as you go up and care is needed. Obviously it has been damaged and repaired over the centuries but it remain s a unique example of the skill and ingenuity of medaeval craftsmen. The towers of the gateway house a small museum devoted to shipbuilding and the history of the port. It is as important as the Pyramids or the Eiffel tower. The actual mechanics and construction aare not adequately explained and a multi-language booklet is required.

We believe that the experience of the Polish road to freedom gives us civic energy even today and that the heritage of Solidarnosc (Solidarity) is still a source of invigorating ideas for Europe

The main exhibition gives a great insight into the latest history of the world - shows how the communism collapsed and how, in a peaceful way democracy was introduced in central and eastern Europe. Exhibition is interesting, it is presented in a modern way with numerous interactive elements.

This is a fitting tribute to those who tried to stand against the Nazis at the start of the war. A small museum, but worth taking a few minutes further walk after the WWII museum to pay homage here.
