Wht Visit Gdansk, Poland

Gdansk is a port city you can't miss while in Poland. Situated by the Baltic Sea, it offers picturesque landscapes, unique architecture, and beautiful landmarks, all of which make for a scenic Gdansk itinerary. Whether you're soaking up its history by exploring the numerous landmarks scattered around the area or simply walking around enjoying the ambiance of the bustling city, Gdansk has something for everyone.

Be sure to admire the monumental pieces of architecture in the old town of the city, such as St. Mary's Church, situated in the heart of the area. This imposing church features 37 large windows, a 15th-century astronomical clock, and a tower that can be climbed to marvel at the scenic landscapes of the city. Over 400 stairs must be conquered to reach the top, but the sight is truly worth it!

Another significant part of Gdansk sightseeing is the Dlugi Targ, the main avenue in the city lined with charming colorful houses, restaurants, and cafes. Tourists and locals alike often enjoy a lovely stroll along this boulevard, also called the Royal Way or the Long Market, as its colorful scenery is truly a postcard-like sight. Walk by the nearby Golden Gate or visit the Main Town Hall, dating back to the 14th century. The tower features a 37-bell carillon and a lavish interior with numerous beautiful frescoes, painted ceilings, and various artifacts.

Moreover, a Gdansk tour is also filled with great museums for you to visit. Situated in a former monastery right by the Main Tower, the National Museum's Department of Early Art offers an extensive exhibition of paintings, embroidery, and other artifacts of cultural heritage. Some other museums worth exploring are the Museum of WWII, the National Maritime Museum, and the European Solidarity Center. Don't miss the chance to see the Artus Court Museum as well, set right by the Neptune Fountain.
