Gdansk

1. Long Market

This is the closest thing to a main square that Gdansk has and is distinguished by its tall, colorful Mannerist buildings.

2. Neptune Fountain

Located at the center of Long Market, this statue survived World War II. Rumor has it that it once flowed with Goldwasser, the local liqueur. Like the rest of Long Market, the statue has a rather Dutch influence - it was built by Flemish artist Peter Husen.

3. European Solidarity Center

The Solidarity movement, led by Lech Walesa, sought to bring down the Communist regime. Let this museum educate you about events that would change the face of Europe.

4. Shakespeare Theater

For a multilingual Shakespeare experience, visit this theater, which has occupied the same site in different forms since the 17th century.

5. Stutthof Concentration Camp

This was the first Nazi concentration camp built outside Germany. Respectfully reflect on the conditions and events of Stutthof on a guided visit to the grounds and the museum.

6. Polish Post Office Museum

The theory goes that the post office in Gdansk was a front for the Polish government's intelligence. The museum shows history of the 18th century - from German annexation in 1939, to its present-day use as a post office.

7. St. Mary's Church

One of Europe's largest buildings constructed in the Brick Gothic style, the unusual flat roof of its tower and the huge black organ against the white walls make it a very imposing church.
