Venues in Gdańsk

Gdańsk is a big hitter in the sightseeing stakes, with a history stretching over 1,000 years, and offering a wealth of sights to visit not just within the city itself but in neighbouring Sopot and Gdynia.

From the stunning renaissance architecture of the old town area, to the waterfronts of the Motława and the Baltic coast, the museums and points of interest associated with WWII, and the post-industrial charm of the Shipyard area and its association with the Solidarity Trade Union movement, there's plenty to see in Gdańsk and further out that could easily fill several weeks in one's travel itinerary! There's options for young families, instagrammers, and young travellers seeking out the quirkier side of nightlife in town and some less-trodden paths that are worth your feet.
