Deprived of his fix, the addict seeks comfort in unexpected quarters (like Poland, or the crisps aisle of the supermarket). 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted November 15, 2021 Author Share Posted November 15, 2021 34 minutes ago, Brunners said: What has the international break done to everyone? Why? Gdansk is actually a very historic city with plenty to offer. The German invasion of Poland, which marked the start of WW2, began in Gdansk known as Danzig at the time. Although it's a relatively small city it is supposed to have a rich cultural and restaurant scene. Add to that the city was a major factor in the fall of communism. And it's fairly cheap too and the flight is just 1 hour. The time of year probably isn't the best, but we were supposed to go in the spring of 2020, but covid put an end to that so here we are. You can read a lot but I was just trying to see if anyone had any personal recommendations. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sorry...I shouldn't have done that... 😔 Recalling one of Michael Portillo's Great European Train Journeys, they have a bunch of museums, including the National Museum, a WWII museum, a Shakespeare Theatre (if you fancy getting your culture on), St Dominic's Fair. IF you like architecture, they've got loads of old buildings, including Wisloujscie Fortress the town hall and Long Market. If you want to catch some football, you can see Lechia Gdansk play at Stadion Miejski. Edited November 15, 2021 by AnglianRed 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Old Codger 3,040 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Only place I can give any sort of a pointer towards regards food, if it still open, is the Bar Neptune, sort of a traditional eatery without too many frills .. decent prices and service.. cousin's lad found it on a "stag" weekend and if they let him in, you should have no problem.. Hope it goes well 1 Link to post Share on other sites

gordy1000 22 Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Gdansk is a brilliant little city. Very friendly. Food was good everywhere we are, just check out trip advisor when your there. We didn't find eating expensive. There's loads to see, I was very moved by the museum celebration Poland's split from Russia, it's in part of the old dockyard and a river trip that takes you to the peninsula where ww2 started. Enjoy. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
