📍 Destination Overview
Gdansk on the Baltic is Poland's leading northern port and once a thriving Hanseatic hub. Around the old Long Market rise colorful gabled houses; the golden gateway, Neptune Fountain and Gothic St Mary's Church tell of former wealth, while a medieval crane on the Motlawa is the emblem. Rich in amber, it offers nearby Sopot, a resort with Europe's longest pier.
