About the city

Gdańsk, a historically significant port city, is renowned for its picturesque Old Town, which features colorful facades, gothic structures, and cobblestone streets. The city's maritime roots are apparent in its shipyard, which was the birthplace of the Solidarity movement. Today, Gdańsk is a thriving cultural hub, offering visitors a chance to explore its rich past and contemporary arts scene. The city’s proximity to the Baltic Sea provides not only stunning views but also fresh seafood, making it a culinary delight.

Top attractions

The Old Town's prominent landmark is the majestic St. Mary’s Church, one of the largest brick churches in the world. For those interested in history, the Museum of the Second World War offers an immersive experience. Close by, you can also visit the European Solidarity Centre, which narrates the story of the anti-communist opposition. A stroll along the Long Market will lead you to Neptune’s Fountain and the Artus Court, both iconic symbols of the city. Don’t miss a relaxing walk on the beautiful sandy beaches of the nearby coastal area of Sopot.

Best time to visit

The best time to visit Gdańsk is during the late spring to early autumn, from May to September, when the weather is pleasantly warm and conducive for outdoor exploration. July and August are peak tourist months, with vibrant festivals and lively street scenes. However, for those who prefer fewer crowds and lower prices, visiting in late spring or early autumn is advisable. Winters are cold and can be harsh, but the festive Christmas markets offer a charm of their own during this time.
