A Hanseatic coastal gem — colourful Renaissance facades, Baltic amber, and the birthplace of Solidarity.
Gdańsk is the most beautiful city on the Baltic — a Hanseatic port whose Długi Targ street is one of Europe's finest baroque boulevards. The birthplace of the Solidarity movement at the Lenin Shipyard marks its place in modern history. The spa town of Sopot and the port of Gdynia form the Tricity area, Poland's liveliest resort cluster.
