Worth visiting
If You stay in Gdansk for a few days, You might like to go for an excursion. Here are some ideas.
Gdansk – Old Town
Gdansk is one of the Polish towns, I like the most. It has it’s own very distinctive mentality and a fantastic atmosphere as a northern harbour Town.
Gdansk – along the suburban railway
It’s easy to get around in Tricity. Just get the suburban railway, which runs like a ruler in the entire length of the city.
Sopot
The holiday paradise – this is where You will meet all the young, the beautiful and the rich, and You can feel like one of them at prices that are far below the level in posh sea side resorts in Western Europe.
Gdynia
Gdynia is quite a new town – erected as a modernist wonder after WWI, Where Poland did not have its own harbour town (Gdansk was an independent free town in close cooperation with Germany).
