Gdańsk

Few cities carry their history quite like Gdańsk. The first shots of World War II were fired here, and the Solidarity movement that helped topple communism was born in its shipyards. Today the city wears all of this with considerable poise. The Long Market is one of the finest streetscapes in northern Europe, and the amber trade that made Gdańsk wealthy for centuries shows no signs of slowing.
