What to do and see in Gdansk, Northern Poland: The Best Scenic Walking Areas
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.

So having booked a hotel next to the river we walked over from the Brama Wyżynna bus stop which took around 10 minutes. Whilst walking to the hotel we came over the Most Zielony bridge and quickly decided we wanted to walk the embankment. Having come back to the area a few hours later it was now dark and we departed on a walk along the river. It is a remarkable walk with so much history to see and sights to explore. From the Pirate ship all the way up to the Amber Eye (ferris wheel) there is soo much to see and it is all very photogenic! Be sure to check it out in the day time and at night as the whole area transforms between the 2 and becomes a very different and special sight.
