GDANSK CITY BREAK

Introducing Gdansk
Most visitors to Poland don't seem to see beyond Krakow, Warsaw and Auschwitz, so Gdansk remains something on an unknown quantity to tourists.

It is the city at the center of the fourth-largest metropolitan area in Poland. The capital of Poland's "Pomorze" province, the city is located at the mouth of the Vistula River on the Baltic Sea.  The city in a metropolitan area with the spa town of Sopot, the city of Gdynia and suburban communities, which together form a metropolitan area called the Tricity, with a population of over 800,000. Gdansk itself has a population of approx 458,053, making it the largest city in the Pomerania region of Northern Poland.

Gdansk is situated at the mouth of the Motlawa River, connected to the Leniwka, a branch in the delta of the nearby Vistula River, whose waterway system waters 60% of the area of Poland and connects Gdansk to the national capital in Warsaw.

The city has many fine buildings from the time of the Hanseatic League. Most tourist attractions are located along or near "Long Street" and "Long Market", a pedestrian thoroughfare surrounded by buildings reconstructed in historical style and flanked at both ends by elaborate city gates. This part of the city is sometimes referred to as the Royal Road as the former path of processions for visiting kings.
