Idyllically situated at the mouth of Motława River on the Baltic coast, Gdansk is Poland’s most important seaport and the fourth largest metropolitan area in the country. During the Second World War, the city was reduced to mere rubble but luckily later rebuilt to become one of the most beautiful cities in Europe.

Today, Gdansk is one of Poland’s most popular tourist destinations, attracting visitors with its beautiful architecture, medieval ports, outstanding museums, historic cathedrals, friendly people, and amazing food. In addition, Gdansk’s pristine sandy beaches make it a popular summer destination among both Poles and international visitors.

There’s no secret that Poland is one of my favorite countries in the world and since I live in southern Norway jetting over to Gdansk only takes a little over an hour. Sometimes I have paid as little as $25 for a return ticket. So I’ve had the pleasure of exploring the city several times, both in winter and spring/summer.

You can zip through the city in just one day but to truly enjoy everything Gdansk has to offer I would recommend at least two days which will give you enough time to explore the city without feeling rushed.
