Reasons to Visit Gdansk

Gdańsk – a city on the Baltic coast with a rich, turbulent, and often dramatic past. It is one of Poland's oldest cities and strolling around the Old Town I could see and feel its omnipresent history.

I admired the characteristic stairs leading to colourful town houses, as well as the ornamental doors. I was greatly impressed by the magnificent St. Mary’s Church towering over the city. Its construction began in 1379 and it is one of the largest brick churches in the world.

Don’t miss the Neptune Fountain, one of Gdańsk’s best known landmarks, just opposite the beautiful Artus Court. A walk down the boulevard by the Motława River is a must. Here you will find Żuraw, Europe's oldest medieval port crane.

Gdańsk is full of atmospheric cafes and good restaurants and I found it very charming, relaxing, and welcoming. I highly recommend visiting. It is easy to navigate and everyone will find something to suit their needs here.
