Gdańsk (population 486 thousand) is a fascinating city. It is perhaps the most Dutch looking Polish city.
 |
| Old town nooks and bikes |
 |
| Perhaps a bit overengineered bridges |
 |
| Bold architecture |
 |
| Old glitter |
 |
| Narrow houses near canals |
 |
| Houseboats |
 |
| Main train station |
 |
| Modern office buildings and an extensive tram network |
 |
| You can take a tram to the beach - actually, many different trams, see below |
 |
| Tram map: you can go to Jelitkowo, Brzeźno or Stogi beach (plaża) |
 |
| We ate chebureki from a Ukrainian vendor near the beach |
There is a lot of tragic history in Gdańsk, including the most recent, during the PiS party rule:
 |
President of Gdańsk - Paweł Adamowicz, murdered because of Kaczyński's and Kurski's hate campaign against him in the public media.
|
This was not my first visit to Gdańsk, but first to the new World War Two Museum - it deserves a separate post.
While writing this I remembered two unpleasant encounters with Gdańsk residents - one a tour guide, and another a city bike scheme user. I wonder if there is a city resident friendliness index, and where Gdańsk lands.
