Schleswig Holstein
Gdansk – Poland, a City of Growth and Expansion, a Tourist City in Essence
Gdansk is the city where the first shot of World War II, fired by Hitler’s German forces from the Schleswig Holstein, echoed around the world. The name was Danzig at the time, and about 100,000 residents perished in the battle between Germany and the Soviets who came to the rescue of Danzig in 1945. The ancient city nearly destroyed, eventually fell under Polish rule, and began to rise from the ashes with a new name, Gdansk. The Gdansk shipyards became the battleground, for the 1980 Solidarity revolution fought in Gdansk, as the name Lech Walesa, became a household name around the world.
Today, Gdansk is a city of growth and expansion, a tourist city with many hotels, restaurants, cafes, bars, nightclubs and shopping centers. Museums, monuments, art galleries, concert halls and the Opera House are some of the places to visit in Gdansk. Entertainment sites across the city are enjoyable some nights, and unappealing to some on other nights. Always check the type of entertainment in the bars and clubs each night, before going, to avoid undesirable offerings.
Buses are available for transport in the city, and surrounding cities such as Sopot and Gdynia. Both cities form a triangle with Gdansk, as sites to explore while visiting in Gdansk. There is no shortage of things to do, and places to go and see in Gdansk. The city is like many cities of Eastern Europe, a mix of the old and the modern and all filled with the romance of the past, in the palaces and castles amidst ancient surroundings.
