...is Gdansk, Sopot and Gdynia. Gdansk is a historic city. Here the second world war started and the communism was abolished. It prides itself on the great architecture ( being compared sometimes to Amsterdam) There are nice cafeterias here like e.g Cafe Ferber. You can also try Polish and a regional cuisine. Sopot on the other hand is a splendid place for partying. There are nice clubs here like Soho, Papryka and the most famous Sfinks and Spatif. ...
...is the youngest Polish city. You can see here a very interesting port or go shopping. The countryside of Gdansk, Gdynia and Sopot is amazing. We have forests and the sea. We invite you to Gdansk. Besides Euro 2012 will be held here!!!

Review of Gdansk (Poland)

Wizzed over from Doni to Gdansk

Advantages: Cheap, Great beer, Friendly locals
Disadvantages: Not being able to speak a word of their language!

I went to Gdansk in Sept 07, and had a great 3 days, the whole trip was an absolute bargain. We flew with Wizz Air from Doncaster and stayed at the budget GRYF HOTEL which is fairly central and next to the anchor statue memorial, and just a short walk from the main sights. We took a train to Sopot for a day to visit the beach which cost around 40p for a return ticket. Sopot is very nice and has a huge strip of bars and restaurants down a long pier ...
...of beers. Would highly recommend Gdansk to others and thought 3-4 days was sufficient. Brought back some nice flavoured vodka from the airport shop. If you are a smoker there is a smallish indoor market /shopping centre which in Gdansk which has a large kiosk selling cartons of cigs very cheaply. It also has a vodka shop. There wasn't loads to spend money on, and the food and drink prices were good so overall wasn't a too costly trip away. Looking ...

Review of Gdansk (Poland)

Cheap vodka, pidgeon English & dodgy scenery

Advantages: Cheap, enough for a day's exploring
Disadvantages: Language problem, some run down areas

What it is however is a travelogue of a few days spent exploring the town, hope you find it slightly interesting, perhaps even amusing in places. So, it's Saturday 26th September. We travel to Poland by ferry from Sweden. You can read about the journey in the seperate Polferries opinion already ...
...that we are looking for Gdansk Centre, as we are obviously no where near it (later found out we were really in Gdynia). We consider the tram/trolley service but we seem to have strayed off the main route. Luckily we manage to stop a taxi cab going in the opposite direction, he speaks a few words of English, and we agree on a 20Zl fare, not really knowing if this is right or not, but we are glad we changed up some money on the boat earlier. Soon we ...
