Baltic Winter Wonderland- Gdańsk, Poland

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
