General presentation
Gdańsk
Hanseatic city of Baltic, between colorful facades, shipyards, memory of Solidarnoć, port and nearby beaches.
The discovery of Gdańsk is based around Długi Targ, Museum of the Second World War and European Centre of Solidarnoć. The stay thus alternates between urban life, the coastline, heritage and riverscapes, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: sea wind and summer flood. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Heritage
Długi Targ
Długi Targ aligns the most emblematic facades of Gdańsk around the old shopping axis of the city. Between doors, Neptune fountain and patrician houses, the walk gives a very legible picture of the local Hanseatic power.
Memory
Musée de la Seconde Guerre mondiale
The Second World War Museum offers a wide, European and very sketched route, just a few steps from the Motława. Its visit gives context to the Gdańsk, a border town where the 20th century left particularly strong traces.
Memory
Centre européen de Solidarność
Located near the former shipyards, the Centre européen de Solidarność The building and the surroundings make the subject concrete, between cranes, historic doors and exhibition rooms.
