One of the most beautiful cities in Europe :). Great pics :)

thanx for this thread !!!

How about some new pictures from Velika Plaza?:)

One of the most nicest city in Europe..Love to go to Gdansk one day

Truely stunning!

Definately on my "Must Visit" for Poland. :)

Delfin, you come up with the best pictures of Polish Cities. I'm still spinning from those nice pics of Warsaw from last week. Hopefully we'll see more "eye candy" :)

SinCity

Magnificent city! Extremely beautiful! And for such a small population, - wow!

However, to me it looks more like it's Denmark or even Germany.

Poland is very lucky today that you managed to rebuild everything after the War. If you haven't, it would all be commieblocks right now. In Ukraine hardly anything was rebuilt. As far as I know Minsk(Belarus) was completely destroyed and never rebuilt, that's why it's all commieblocks right now. Sad fate.

It's more dutsch than german. Gdansk belonged to the Hansa in the past, so it's really similar to such cities as Amsterdam, but it has almost typical polish sacral architecture and such rennaissance buildings as townhall :).

Yea, Ukraine was quite lucky during World Wars. Most of the country is well preserved, because we were taken over quickly, and not many of the cities had to be bombed.

Actually, Lviv is one of the best preserved large cities in Europe. ;) So we're quite lucky.

BTW, Gdansk looks spectacular! Wonderful pictures.

I dont want to start a new thread, but what is your subjective opinion:
The architecture of which city do you find more atractive: Prague or Gdansk?

That is true, however during Soviet occupation hundreds of historical churches and monasteries were barbarically destroyed for no reason.

And also Ukraine might have been a little lucky during WW2 when it concerns architecture, but not everything else. Ukraine was not taken over quickly and most battles of WW2 actually occured on the territory of Ukraine. That is a historic and unfortunate fact.

Sorry about the misunderstanding. I meant to say that the Lviv region was quickly taken over by the Nazi Germans in 1941, and because of that, we were saved from being bombed by them. Thank GOD !

Unfortunately other beautiful cities in Ukraine, and the rest of Europe were badly destroyed during war times.

guys this is thread about Gdansk not about Ukraine

One of the most beautiful cities in Europe - Gdansk

Beautiful city. Are you from Gdansk hennepin?

i live in Gdynia, I was born in beautiful Gdansk :)

I still think it has a stunning resemblance with Amsterdam

I still think it has a stunning resemblance with Amsterdam
Well that's because the multicultural society which bulit Gdansk. There were settlers from Poland, Germany, Netherlands, England, Scotland and so on.
The interesting fact is that during the sweedish invasion in the middle of XVII century, dutch fleet blocked Gdansk, so it did't fall into sweedish hands.
