Gdańsk is a symbol of the outbreak of the Second World War and the collapse of communism in Europe.

Why Gdańsk / Sopot / Gdynia

Gdańsk played a key role in the Polish history many times. These events are commemorated by the Monument to the Defenders of the Coast at Westerplatte and the European Solidarity Centre. While in Gdańsk, you must walk along the Long Embankment on the Motława river, next to the historic Crane. From there, there is only a short walk to the Main Town Hall and the Neptune’s Fountain, a meeting spot for tourists. Just behind it, the Artus Court, a former meeting place for merchants and today’s Gdańsk History Museum, is located. Gdańsk also has the world’s biggest temple made of bricks. The gothic St. Mary’s Basilica was built, with interruptions, for as many as 159 years. The so-called Tri-City includes Gdańsk, Gdynia and Sopot. The legendary Polish warships, including Dar Pomorza and ORP Błyskawica, currently special museums, moor in the Gdynia port. Those with a passion for discovering the mysteries of the deep should visit the Gdynia Aquarium with a collection of interesting fish, amphibians and reptiles from various corners of the world. Sopot is famous for its pier. It has over 500 metres and is the longest one at the Baltic Sea. If you wonder where the Tri-City’s nightlife focuses, the answer is simple. Of course, in Sopot.
