Woowww...what a place! So close to the water. Gdansk was very important in WWII ..you can really feel it... it was such a big city then, because of it's closeness to the sea. And is such a tourist trap now. Lovely, definitely check out the towers in Old Town and walk along the Harbour!

Always when I'm near the sea I'm going to Gdansk specially Old Town, there are beautiful buldings, nice cafes and great views
