The Royal WayGdansk apartment rentals:The most important city of northern Poland, Gdansk sits on the Baltic Sea and is near many of Poland's most popular resorts. The city itself offers a charming historic centre, loaded with monuments and testaments to its millennial history, though much of what you see now was re-built after World War II.
Start your visit along the "Ulica Dluga," or "Long Street," an emblematic thoroughfare where you'll find colorful old houses in a variety of architectural styles. There are several good museums along the street as well. Down by the water, the old streets around the port are a maze of life and commerce, and rambling among the amber vendors on Mariacki is a pleasant way to pass the morning.
You can also visit the "Dlugi Targ" ("Long Market"), a wide square lined with mansions where you'll find the emblematic Neptune Fountain. The ornate town hall and the city's many gates are interesting too. Nearby are churches and other monuments.

The Royal WayStrolling the historic quarters and visiting its museums and churches is an engaging way to pass a few days, but outside the city centre Gdansk offers easy access to beaches and natural areas. From the city's port you can take a boat cruise along the coast, and towns like Sopot and Gdynia, both lovely seaside resorts, are close by. Sopot is a traditional spa centre, and you'll find many relaxing places offering health and beauty treatments. Sailing and horseback riding are popular here. Gdynia is a small fishing village that has become an important trading centre, with a large harbour and busy port. Together with Gdansk, the three cities are referred to as the "Tri-City."
You can also visit medieval towns like Malbork, with its impressive riverside fortress, or Torún, the country's most important ancient site. On the coast, Frombork is a pretty seaside town and was the home of Nicolaus Copernicus. Here you can take a peek at the interesting museum about the astronomer and his work.
