#europetrip #poland #gdansk #Longmarket Strolling along Gdańsk's Long Market (Długi Targ) was one of the highlights of our trip. This vibrant street, often mistaken for a square due to its width, stretches from the Golden Gate to the Green Gate and is lined with colorful, intricately designed townhouses. Some of these historic buildings feature exquisite paintings and details that tell stories of Gdańsk’s rich past. Once used as the Polish king's ceremonial route, it's also known as the Royal Boulevard. We took our time exploring this lively area, soaking in the charm of its architecture and the bustling yet relaxed atmosphere. The blend of history and beauty here made every step along this iconic street a delight.

#europetrip #poland #gdansk We truly enjoyed our three-night stay in Gdańsk, especially with a river-view hotel that offered a stunning backdrop each morning. This charming city is a blend of history and beauty, with colorful facades lining the streets and a rich maritime heritage. Every day, we wandered through the Old Town, marveling at landmarks like the iconic Neptune’s Fountain, St. Mary’s Basilica, and the picturesque Long Market.

Gdańsk is perfect for unwinding, with a relaxed vibe, delicious food at adorable prices, and plenty of cozy spots to sit and soak in the atmosphere. It’s a city that truly invites you to slow down and savor every moment.

Wake up early for an intimate and very enjoyable stroll around the Old Town of Gdansk. As most people aren't awake yet, it's a perfect time to take pictures without the crowds. You'll feel as if the Old Town is there all for yourself. Do keep in mind it can be chillier in the morning, especially in spring, so do layer up. As the day progresses, you'll feel a bit hot though. I suggest you a walk around the town early in the morning. Grab something like to eat and head back to your hotel for a nap if you're tired before visiting again! You won't regret it! #gdansk #poland #urbanexplorer #oldtown

The Ibis is near the train station, around 10 mins walk away. It's also very near to the Old Town, which was a good 15 mins walk. The area near the hotel has a mall with some food options and immediately across the hotel, there's a convenience store which makes it quite convenient. The area is also quite quiet so your stay should be quite comfortable. The rooms are a decent size and the decor is also quite modern and new. A very good choice to be a bit away from the old town for a cheaper and quieter stay . #hotel #gdansk #poland

Gdansk is a beautiful spot to spend a weekend. Everything is within easy reach and if you don’t feel like walking, taking a taxi is cheap. Food is fresh, tasty and simple. Loved halibut and cod and forest mushrooms. #gdansk #weekendgetaway

Gdańsk is an amazing hybrid, which makes sense due to its long history of being a crucial international trade/ shipping port city in the northeast of Europe, along with being ruled by various nations (& ruling itself, as Danzig). It reminds me of a blend of Amsterdam & Vienna, especially in the Old Town, but with a progressive Scandinavian sense of style & culture & hospitality. English is widely spoken, it’s clean & safe & modern (outside of the Old Town architecture) & the prices are VERY economical for most westerners, especially. I loved the city, & wound up extending my stay from only a few nights, to almost 2 weeks! I found it hard to leave, & I’m sure to return. #winterwonderland #christmas #holidays #poland #gdansk #baltic #danzig

Gdansk - another super nice place in my favourite country - Poland, part of the European Union. It is on the coast of Baltic sea in the very northern part of the country. The pictures are from September - maybe the last month of the year with warm weather. #happynewyear

Located in the small town of Marburg in northern Poland, there is a castle that was built in 1276 and listed on the World Heritage List. Marlborough Castle, known as the Dotnik Aldo Castle, was once the headquarters of the German Teutonic Knights. The construction of the castle is red, walking from the train station and you can see it from afar. The shape of the castle is rectangular and depends on the Nogart River. The castle doesn't look big, but walk slowly inside, and it takes at least half a day to look at it. The religious function of the Marlborough Castle Collection Monastery, a comprehensive building that combines with the castle's military defense functions, is the world's largest brick-structured castle, representing the highest level of construction of the entire medieval castle.

Gdansk has one of the largest ancient buildings in Poland with a distinct Gothic and Renaissance style. From the 8th century, some people began to live in this area. In 1793, they were occupied by Prussian and renamed Danzig. It was built into a city full of German customs. The Old Town of Gdansk is a member of the United Nations World Heritage List and you can enter the colorful squares through the gates. Most of the ancient city buildings that everyone sees in Gdansk are rebuilt after the war. Gdansk Rivers into the sea, walking along the river is also an interesting thing. There are old and new buildings full of German and Polish flair, and there are wooden cruise ships on the river. The Museum of World War II stands on the banks of the river and tells the cause and result of the war between the city and the charcoal. About the reluctance of this nation of Poland, it is evident from the origin of the city of Gdynia in the city of Sanlian! Because the glorious Gdansk has been suppressed and suppressed by Germany, Poland chose to establish a city not far from it, but also the location of the Baltic Sea estuary - that is Gdynia. After spending decades of national resources, Gdynia has developed into the third largest city in the country and another trade center that can compete with Gdansk. The dock cranes of the past have now become the signature of the Maritime Museum. Strolling along the banks of the Gdansk River, you can find exquisite coffee shops and restaurants. Whether it is a resident here or a tourist who crosses us like us, don't forget to sit down on the banks of the Gdansk River.

Located in the middle of Warsaw and Gdansk, Marlborough, built in the 12th century, is a castle that bears witness to Polands honor and disgrace. It is a member of the United Nations-rated World Cultural Heritage List and is the largest brick building and Goth in Europe. The castle is still the only castle ruins built by the Teutonic Knights. Marburg German means "the castle of the Virgin Mary", but in fact its name is "Tedonic Aldo Castle", but for the convenience of memory, we still call her "Marlborough Castle" Put it. This typical Prussian red brick castle stands on the banks of the river from the Middle Ages. From the other side of the river, Huahua can see this vermilion full-brick building. It is very huge. Compared with the exquisite and magnificent "castle" in our minds, there is a strong and quaint masculinity here. From the outer castle to the middle castle, it will pass through a moat, and the suspension bridge on the river is still free to rise and fall. The castle has a huge highlight in , which is its monastery dining room. This is the largest medieval restaurant in Europe, with the functions of a conference hall and a ballroom. The entire dining room used only three thin columns to support the three-dimension vault, which is enough to show the cutting-edge technology of 14th-century European architecture. In the dining room, there is a well-preserved 14th-century Madonna mural, where hundreds of monks can be seen dining together. The Church of the Virgin Mary, which has just reopened, reveals the classic 14th-century style. Many solemn and exquisite statues stand on the walls of the church and the altar is holy.

we went to Gdansk during Easter holiday. the old town is stunning with old beautiful buildings and nice restaurants. I recmommend to visit Montownia food court which is near to WW2 museum. don't forget to book one day to go to Sopot :)

A very meaningful place, where WW2 started. It's all outdoors and can be windy (we went early April) so bring a hat or put up your hood! Some quite full on photos of what happened during the war so not for little ones but all in all a really educational visit.

Best World War museum we've been to! The exhibitions were informative and interactive so great for all ages. Loads of space for walk around which is great for children. We spent a few hours in the museum and it's centrally located so easy to get to.
