Hello mate, I’ve just asked my colleague, Mariusz, who comes from Gdańsk, he’s going to write a list of places worth visiting and I’ll post them up when it brings it in. He asked if you’re having a hire car as there are a few lovely places just outside the city.

Definitely worth a trip to the shipyards plus some very nice cakes shops around and about.

Went Last Summer .. Gdansk old town been restored after the Germans blitzed it .very nice indeed . Some good bars too in the centre . Worth having a look around the shipyard , which of course was part of the Lech Wolewsca (spelling ) rise to power via solidarity , Museum etc .
As said earllier Sopot just along the coast 5 mins by cab Its more touristy and has some good bars and restaurants in and around the main square .

Poland was wrecked during WW2 Only Krakow of the big cities remained untouched and is a beautiful city. Just got back yesterday from there.

Lovely lovely place. Make sure you get out to Gdynia and Sopot as well. They are really beautiful. Might be a bit cold now though.

No cinema, otherwise they wouldn’t have travelled all the way to Craggy Island just to see The Passion Of St Tibulas

Beautiful place with the Baltic sea very cool to fight the crazy temparatures. The bars and shops were extremely impressive but talk to a local girl and the Polish men get very protective and are built huge! Maybe it was being in a Catholic area? I'd definitely go back but travelling through Germany and France yesterday felt intensely dangerous with the heat in the forties! I'd never experienced that type of temperature before. And I got bitten by a huge spider that swelled up my foot early on in the holiday. By the morning it was ok though.

Would love to go further east. Had a great time in Poland. I'd recommend it - it's a much bigger country than I thought and the people were generally very friendly.

I'm off to Gdansk and Poznan next month. Looking forward to it.

Didn't get to Poznan but went to Warsaw which was very expensive and a bit of a disappointment. As mentioned Sopot, just by Gdañsk was lovely.

Have a great time.
