Gdansk

Set on the shores of the Baltic Sea and crossed by the Motława, Gdańsk immediately charms with its Hanseatic elegance and maritime atmosphere. A port city with a rich past, long a crossroads of European trade, it appeals with its colourful façades, lively lanes and major role in Poland's contemporary history.

Stroll along the Royal Way (Droga Królewska), admire the finely decorated gabled houses and the famous medieval port crane, the symbol of the city. Discover the shipyards, the birthplace of the Solidarność movement, dive into its fascinating museums or relax on the nearby beaches of Sopot and Gdynia.

Gdańsk is a city where sea air blends with history and culture, where you move from a romantic walk along the quays to a lively evening in the taverns and cafés of the centre.

During your stay in Gdańsk, don't miss the chance to:

  • stroll along the Royal Way and admire the famous Neptune's Fountain.
  • visit the Museum of the Second World War, one of the most impressive in Europe.
  • discover the European Solidarity Centre, which traces the historic struggle for freedom.

  • board a boat excursion to the Westerplatte peninsula.
  • enjoy a day at the seaside in the neighbouring resort of Sopot.
