The Polish city of Gdańsk is a popular tourist destination. It combines a rich history dating back to the Middle Ages, the unique seaside atmosphere of its shipyards and harbours, and the opportunity to take trips to the Baltic Sea – not just to the popular Hel Peninsula.

Gdańsk is one of the oldest cities in Poland and also one of the most visited.

This guide will also cover the neighbouring towns of Sopot and Gdynia, with which Gdańsk forms a single conurbation known as the Tri-City.
