1. Gdańsk is a great city with well over 1000 years of eventful history. There's plenty of things to see and do. You may start by taking a walk on Długa and Długi Targ streets and turning into Długie Pobrzeże. The houses look a lot like those in Amsterdam. That not a coincidence, as both cities were member of the [Hanseatic League](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanseatic_League), a merchant guild that owned major trade routes on Baltic sea for three centuries.
