Travel tips: What to see and do whilst visiting the Polish city of Gdansk

Gdansk, a historic port city in Poland, offers a quirky experience of both the hustle and bustle of a city and the tranquillity of a magnificent coastline on the Baltic Sea.

There is a reason why Gdansk is one of the most visited cities in Poland, with over three million visitors each year, writes Travel News Blitz’s Bianca Wright.

Known for the battle of Westerplatte, where the German forces attacked the Polish military by targeting the transit depot, enabling successful entry into Poland and marking the start of World War II. 

The city is a place that will arouse your senses, whether your trip is to venture back in history, exploring museums and historic buildings or hitting vibrant streets full of delicious food, shops, street performers or hitting the waves of the Baltic Sea with a surfboard.
