About Gdansk
The Polish city of Gdansk is a place of history. Settled in the 9th century, Gdansk enjoys an enviable position on the Baltic coast, which quickly led to it becoming a major trading port, and for a while during the 15th and 16th centuries, it was one of the wealthiest and most diverse cities in Europe, with many of its citizens prospering from its strong trade links. Wander the narrow cobbled streets of the Main Town, marvel at the massive red-brick churches and elegant historic buildings, and linger in quirky cafes, amber shops and fascinating museums.
