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.

One of the most characteristic places of Gdansk, located near the famous King Arthur's Court, at the Long Market. A beautiful statue of the God of the Seas, considered on a par with the Crane as a symbol of Gdansk. The design of the figure representing Neptune was created by the architect and sculptor Abraham van den Blocke. The model of the figure was made by Peter Husen.The sculpture was cast in bronze in 1612 , in the municipal foundry in Gdansk. The figure weighs 650 kg. The bowl and the stem on which the statue stands are also authored by Abraham van den Blocke. A piece of history in a beautiful package. You can't be in Gdansk and not see Neptune. The Neptune Fountain is an icon of Gdansk. It is a' ' must see'' on the tourist map of Gdansk.

Great place to sit back and enjoy some good food and mulled wine and watch the world go buy. Lots of bars and restaurants and some playing live music. A beautiful part of the city and not to be missed.

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.

Nice, long pier - and the admission is free! If you are in the area, why not take a stroll? There are some cafes and restaurants close by as well so it's a perfect spot for a short break.
