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 to the sea. After a short walk down the beach we stumbled upon beach bar where we sampled a few more local beers. Amazing and was really hot weather, so we had chosen a good day for it. Sampled many polish lagers over the 3 days i was there and ate nice food. Pizza, pasta ( not very Polish i know) and as a last night treat to use up some Zolty, we went to one of the nice restaurants next to the waterside and had borscht soup for starter and duck with a vodka and raspberry sauce. Spent around £20 including a couple 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 forward to visiting Poland again, and i found the people there to be very friendly.
