... Many lovely views of one of Poland's prettiest seaside cities... a city with rich heritage and history... the historic centre of the city is a beautiful place with some stunning architecture that’s heavily influenced by Germanic and Polish tradition... and political history... Gdansk was a witness of events which shaped not only the history of Poland but also the whole world.... this city is considered to be a symbolic place of Second World War outbreak... in Gdansk Polish workers created Solidarity - first independent anti-Soviet labor union... a major and very popular tourist attraction for both Polish citizens and foreigners... Thanks a lot Sylwia! ❀◕ ‿ ◕❀
