I explore the delightful city of Gdańsk, Poland

Описание: Gdańsk and nearby Sopot on Poland's Baltic Sea coastline are places you don't want to miss.

I begin a new European tour in the far north along the Baltic Sea at Gdańsk, one of Poland’s most beautiful cities.

(For those seeing the video as it premieres in January 2026 you’ve likely figured out that I didn’t come to Gdańsk in the dead of winter. This and upcoming videos in this series from Europe were filmed in summer and early fall 2025.)

Gdańsk is a vibrant port city with a rich history and stunning architecture offering a compelling mix of heritage, charm and nearby scenic beauty.

It was here at the former military outpost of Westerplatte that the first battle of World War II was fought. And in the 1980s a shipyard strike here famously morphed into the Solidarity movement that helped bring down the former Soviet Union.

Gdańsk is a great springboard for exploring the Pomeranian Coast and in the video I visit the delightful coastal resort city of Sopot, a 20-minute train ride away.
