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.

The old town is fairly compact and whilst full of interesting buildings doesn’t initially grab you as stunning. The colours are all fairly faded and pastel but when you look closely the facades are detailed and ornate. The wide streets shut to traffic allow you to wander around and see the various buildings of interest easily. Look closely it’s worth it

nice Cathedral, interesting architecture, great organ - worth to stop a while for the concert, we visited in September, wasn't crowded, I don't remember any fees...?
anyway, I recommend to visit the cloister - the direct entrance from the inside of Cathedral. The cloister has some interesting interiors and Exhibitions, offers a relaxing stroll cause tourists seem avoid this place...
also I recommend to read some basic facts about the place and its history before visit.

The buildings were amazingly pretty with lots of history. We took the free walking tour and also downloaded one of the free tour apps which helped to give a bit of context when visiting each landmark. There are an amazing amount of restaurant and bars and also some gift shops. A must if you are visiting Gdansk.

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
This beautifully-built museum tells the story of how stubborn shipyard workers fought for freedom and ended up toppling communism in Europe. It's a stirring, emotional tale set on the site of the old Lenin Shipyard and housed in a magnificent building crafted from steel ships' plates. A must see for anyone - especially those fascinated by social reform.

We came to the park as we were visiting the modern art gallery which is based within it. We did not expect such an amazing area and even in early winter it was really nice for a walk to and from the tram stop. In spring/summer I Would imagine it would be fantastic.

We walked along the embankment a few times during our break. It’s beautifully picturesque and the view changes dependant on the time and the weather.
It really is worth spending a couple of hours taking in a leisurely stroll and stopping for a drink or food just to watch the world go by.

Next to the market you find this beautiful church. It is a beauty full of gold, statues and paintings. Definitely worth a visit!

Picked up some amber earrings- it was a miserable weather day and there wasn’t much atmosphere going on in the street but a lovely guy came out and was helpful without being pushy. Happy customer ??

My husband wanted to grab a drink on Beer street so we had to wander down this street into one of the bars. There are only a couple of restaurants and bars here. There were not many people wandering around this street so it was easy to grab a seat and get a cool one.
The buildings have a lot of character like everywhere else in Gdansk. Such a pretty town!!!
