Let's Gdańsk!
Gdansk is a city with an incredible history not least in the 20th century when two major changes in civilisation were sparked by events here. The opening salvos of WWII were followed 41 years later by
the signing of the August Accords in the Gdańsk shipyards: a key moment in history which many regard as the spark that inspired the fall of communism.
