Gdnask, Poland

Answer 1

Gdnask, located on the Baltic coast at the mouth of the Motlawa River, is the main seaport of Poland. Gdnask is noted for being the birth place of what became known as the Solidarity movement, paving the way for the end of Communism in Europe. The Gdania River is believed to be where the city got its name.

Zuraw (the medieval port crane) located over the Motlawa river and the Town Hall Spire featuring a prominent statue of Poland’s King Sigismund II perched at the top, greet visitors to the historic city. Many of Gdnask’s stunning buildings (most dating to the 17th century) can be seen along Ulica Dluga and Dlugi Targ (Long Street and Long Market) such as Uphagen House, Artus’ Court and Golden House.

City buses and a railway train system offer great ways for visitors to enjoy all that Gdnask has to offer from historic buildings such as St. Nicholas Church to Shakespearean theaters and much more.
