Gdansk is a large port city in Poland on the Baltic Sea. The city was reconstructed after it was destroyed in WWII. The first shots of the war were fired here. Now it is a very popular tourist destination. There were crowds of people. We took a historical walking tour . It was very informative and helped to better appreciate what we were seeing. Again as with most large cities we could have stayed longer, visiting a lot more things, but the crowds were draining. August is not a good time to visit Gdansk or anywhere along the Baltic Sea. It was a 3 day traffic jam just trying to get from Germany to Gdansk.
