Gdańsk: A Baltic Gem Full of History and Charm

#springwander Gdańsk instantly impressed me with its rich maritime history, stunning architecture, and vibrant atmosphere. Walking down the famous Długi Targ (Long Market), I was surrounded by beautifully restored merchant houses, each with its own unique character. The Neptune Fountain, standing proudly in front of Artus Court, is a true symbol of the city. One of my most memorable experiences was visiting the European Solidarity Centre, where I learned about Poland’s fight for freedom. The interactive exhibits and original shipyard surroundings made it a deeply moving visit. For a different perspective, I climbed the tower of St. Mary’s Church—the panoramic view of Gdańsk’s red rooftops stretching toward the Baltic Sea was breathtaking. No trip to Gdańsk is complete without a walk along the Motława River. Watching the sunset over the iconic Crane and enjoying fresh seafood at a riverside restaurant made for a perfect evening. Gdańsk is a city where history meets modern charm, and I can't wait to return! #Gdansk #Baltic #Poland #CityViews #TravelMoments
