Trip to Gdańsk

Why is this city so extraordinary? During its more than a thousand years of history, it has been shaped by the influence of various cultures, which have left their lasting mark in the form of beautiful architectural monuments. Some of the most important events in Poland's history also took place here: the outbreak of World War II and the fall of communism. Not only the inhabitants consider the city to be the most beautiful. The number of tourists does not decrease year by year, so what attractions does Gdańsk attract them to?

Attractions and monuments of Gdańsk

The attractive location on the Baltic Sea itself is a huge advantage. Thanks to him and his treasures, the city became the World Capital of Amber. Visiting the Amber Museum at ul. Długa you will learn about the history of amber extraction, its processing process and see amazing works of art made from it. However, the hallmark of Gdańsk remains the historic Crane - the oldest and largest preserved medieval port crane.

Walk around the city

While walking around the city, it is worth paying attention to the attractive, historic tenement houses at ul. Długa, the Neptune fountain on Długi Targ and the famous Artus Court. We also recommend visiting the Gothic St. Mary's Basilica, which houses priceless medieval monuments. The most unusual is the three-story astronomical clock by Jan Düringer from 1470.

Down the path of history

The city witnessed many significant events of the 1939th century. It is worth visiting the extremely valuable World War II museum, which presents not only the course of the war, but also its causes and effects. After visiting it, we recommend going to Westerplatte, the main point of Polish defense in September XNUMX.
