I'm giving 7.5/10 - not many highrises, but historical "skyline" is awesome!

One of my favourite cities in Poland . I give 9/10 because of st. Mary church . I simply love this temple .:angel1:

9! I love this town ( i was born there:) ) and the Old Town of GDN is absolutely wunderbar!!!

BTW: i hate this ugly buildings behind.

probably the most beautiful town in poland.

my rate - 8

redz
maciek

8 for me ;)

7/10 because any city could look like that in nice-taken photos :)

5.5/10 for skyline. only a couple of scrapers, with some church spires.




btw, wasn't this city formerly called Danzig?

Yep,it's original German (Prussian) name :)

6/10, with church spires

I can't believe that Gdansk has TGI Fridays! I don't think TGI Fridays is a good representative of American food.

The skyscraper portions of the city, like the area around the TGI Fridays/ Holiday Inn, are ugly. The best parts are the ones where there are no commercialist structures. Just traditional vernacular buildings, which evoke Europe and not the outskirts of an American city.

No, the original name is Gdansk (known since 10th century) - German name (Danzig) first appeared in 15th century.

The Gdansk skyline would please me infinitely much more without those boxy highrises. :(

You've probably got some serious sight problems...

Beautiful looking city, which I think the ugly 60's buildings??? are destroying. The best part of the skyline is the churches and old houses, needs to have a better defined collection of highrises that do not detract from the rest of the city to get better points for a skyline.

Gorgeous!!!

the Gdansk old town is amazing, 8/10

Just found this thread. The old town of Gdansk looks really stunning! :okay:

You have found some great pictures there, DocentX. By the way, when did they actually start the recontructioning of the old town? And have they completely finished the work of doing so?

Definitely not the best, but really I've seen worse "skylines" in this section. After the other two Highrises will be renovated (there are some plans about it), Gdańsk center should look nice. For now - buildings are bit untidy and still main pride of Gdańsk is its historical skyline.

10/10:)

I can't see a modern skyline here. As to historical skyline, it looks better, but not great (too many commie blocks spoil the views). 4 from me. :dunno:
