What an amazing city, I sure must get there. I think there's a ferry line Klaipeda-Gdansk opened recently, perhaps I won't miss a chance to use it.

Wow, Gdansk old town looks very distinguished. 3rd pic is cool, this highrise looks really massive. Last pic looks pleasant- I like small rivers/canals in city.

Very beautiful! Mercure hotel looks kinda ugly but it's really an exception!

I loved Gdañsk "at first sight" when I've been there last summer, it's really a wonderful city, I'd dare to say it's the most beautiful city in Poland, and surely my favourite among coast-towns in the Baltic. I really hope to come back there soon, I miss it!

Great job Delfin, but where is Ul. Mariacka? I don't believe you didn't take any pics there!

thank you
the station was opened in 1900, its architecture (tower) is to resemble the main town hall, in 1998 Japan's architects fell in love with this station and they built copy of it in Japan

Ok guys I'd like to underline that what you're looking at is actually fake, its just a reconstruction, Gdansk was leveled with ground in 1945 by Russians though there was no purpose to do it all Germans were already gone, this what it looked like after Russians "visited" the city
