A Relaxing Stay in Gdańsk
#europetrip #poland #gdansk
We truly enjoyed our three-night stay in Gdańsk, especially with a river-view hotel that offered a stunning backdrop each morning. This charming city is a blend of history and beauty, with colorful facades lining the streets and a rich maritime heritage. Every day, we wandered through the Old Town, marveling at landmarks like the iconic Neptune’s Fountain, St. Mary’s Basilica, and the picturesque Long Market. Walking along the Motława River, with its cranes and ship reflections, was incredibly peaceful. Gdańsk is perfect for unwinding, with a relaxed vibe, delicious food at adorable prices, and plenty of cozy spots to sit and soak in the atmosphere. It’s a city that truly invites you to slow down and savor every moment.

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!

The architecture in Gdańsk, Poland is so beautiful
1. Gdańsk, Poland is a seaside city known for its amber production. However, the temperature difference between morning and evening is quite large, so it is recommended to visit in summer (it is extremely cold in winter). Remember to bring a thick piece of clothing. The currency in Poland is the zloty, and credit cards are accepted. The exchange rate with the euro is approximately 1:0.2.
2. First day
Amber Museum - Town Hall - St. Mary's Basilica - Amber Street - Long Street - Neptune Fountain - Artus Court
Amber Museum: Ticket price is 25 zloty, about 6 euros. Free on Mondays. The first floor is a dedicated area for selling amber, with a wide variety and reasonable prices. All are natural amber and very beautiful. The second and third floors are exhibition areas for amber, which are particularly exquisite.
3. Town Hall: Free admission to the museum on Mondays. The overall appearance is pink, in Gothic style. St. Mary's Basilica: Free admission. This is the largest brick church in the world. You can climb to the top for 5 zloty. The stairs are very long, so it is recommended to wear flat shoes. It takes about twenty minutes to reach the top, which is quite small, but you can see a panoramic view of Gdańsk. Any photo taken here is very impressive.
4. Amber Street: This street is full of amber shops. Some do not have price tags, and the shop owners display unique amber pieces at the entrance. Each shop is luxuriously decorated.
Long Street: One of the oldest and most representative streets in Gdańsk, with many restaurants nearby. It is quite crowded.
Neptune Fountain: Located in front of Artus Court, it is a landmark of Gdańsk and a symbol of the city.
Artus Court: The most representative white building on Long Street.
5. Second day
Sopot - Baltic Sea
Buy a ticket from Gdańsk Główny station to Sopot, which takes about 15 minutes and costs about 5.5 zloty, less than one euro.
Crooked House (Krzywy Domek): Use Google Maps to navigate to the Baltic Sea, and you will see this house along the way. In winter, you can capture the entire appearance of the house, but in summer, the trees in front of the house block the view. The house feels a bit rundown inside, very small, and not many shops are open. Overall, it still feels nice.
