Tourists seek something unique on every trip. Some want to learn and see as much as possible, others seek the untouched streets of Old Europe, and still others simply want to go to the sea. If tourists are looking for a seaside city with a rich history, an abundance of interesting places, and impeccable European style, then a trip to the Polish city of Gdansk is definitely recommended.

Gdansk Attractions and Entertainment
In the summer, Gdansk often hosts various festivals and concerts. Here, you can listen to sonnets, watch plays, or head to the port to watch the Baltic Sail sailing event as part of the Open-Air Theatre Festival. The port is also home to the main attraction of the Maritime Museum—the Crane.

Or simply spend hours strolling the cozy cobblestone streets of the Old Town, strolling along the Royal Route, and feeling like royalty in Gdansk. You can admire the view of the Motława River embankment. Listen to an organ concert in the St. Mary’s Basilica of the Church of the Holy Virgin Mary. In the town of Oliw, there is an organ decorated with moving figurines.

Be sure to take a boat tour on a real sailing ship.

Shopping and Stores
Gdansk can be called the honorary capital of the world in all things related to amber. Therefore, the main souvenirs should be all kinds of amber jewelry, paintings, cigarette holders, and other items.

A boat in a bottle made by local artisans makes an interesting gift, reflecting the peculiarities of the port city.
