It’s no surprise that seaside Gdansk
is a true fish and seafood destination,
and cosy
Targ Rybny Fishmarkt
in
the Old Town is a great place to get
a taste of the Baltic. targrybny.pl

on
ul. Rzemieslnicza in Sopot is also a

City suggestions
History buffs will love Gdansk
for its stories, both ancient and
relatively modern. The
Westerplatte
peninsula
in the north is where the
first shots of World War II were fired.
The guardhouse and barracks carry
accompanying exhibitions.
And finally...
It is a little extra effort, but visiting
all three cities (Gdansk, Gdynia, and
Sopot) of the Tri-City metropolis will
give you a better feel for the area.
Simply jump on an SKM commuter
train. Tickets are from the machines
in the main train stations.
