Gdansk

Gdansk was the last city I visited as part of my Poland trip for Expedia and what a great way to end! Gdansk is an interesting mix of Amsterdam and Brugge with a slight Swedish influence on the architecture. It is a fascinating city, rich in stories, both ancient and recent. If you’re interested in the other Polish cities I visited, you can see them here:

The main river that runs through Gdansk was the life blood of the harbour city.

Mariacka Street where amber has been sold for over 1000 years.

The European Solidarity Center was designed to look like a ship being built, relevant as it is next to the docklands.

The main hall of the New Shakespeare Theater. The roof can be open for shows under the stars.

The white, Gothic interior of St. Mary’s Church

One of three astronomical clocks in the world.
