Come with me and explore the beauty of Gdańsk, Poland on my vlog of the city. You can treat this video as a bit of a travel guide for Gdansk, as I show you round all the main attractions in the city.
I was so pleasantly surprised by the city, especially Gdansk Old Town. I’ll take you down the Main Street, Długa Street, and show you all of Gdańsk’s beautiful landmarks, the colourful and eccentric streets.
While exploring, I’ll also tell you a little bit about the history of Gdańsk, and why they have such beautiful, and Dutch looking architecture!
I also visited Malbork Castle, the world’s largest castle by land area, which started being built in the 13th Century by the Teutonic Order. I have a separate video coming out soon for Malbork Castle, so make sure you stick around for that in a few days!
Back to Gdańsk, I also got some stunning 4K drone footage of the city which I absolutely love.
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this video and find it valuable.

Did Warsaw a few years ago and were smitten with the city - just lovely. That was our first taste of Poland and we vowed to return. Whilst a lot of the experience tourists to Poland recommended Krakow for our next visit - every single one who had been to Gdansk informed us THE city to visit in Poland is without a doubt Gdansk. Sooooooo..... we are booked in for a week in September 2023 - really looking forward to this.

Piękny nagrałeś film o polskim mieście Gdańsk. Każde zdanie liczy się, bowiem mój kraj jest jeszcze mało znany w świecie. Pamietam lata, kiedy pewien Francuz zapytał mnie, czy w Polsce mieszkam w szałasie, a dookoła biegaja białe niedźwiedzie? Nie rozumiał mojego zdziwienia i rozbawienia. Propaganda lubiła wymyśać dziwne historie o Europie Wschodniej - szczególnie o Polakach.

aisha1977pl is correct. Danzig/Gdansk was destroyed by the Soviet Army in 1945, late March 1945 , barely 5 to 6 weeks before the end of the war. It was the old town they set fire to, and some parts a few blocks over were not even touched. Read what the Soviet Army did to St. Mary's. Really terrible. The pictures of the destruction are heartbreaking to see. When I was in Poland in 1989 I went on a tour of Gdansk and the tour guide said the Germans did it and that the Germans badly damaged Malbork Castle. Both were 100% lies. Danzig and Malbork/Marienburg were German cities. It was the Soviet Army who did it and the Polish people who restored everything so beautifully had not lived there before the war.. They were Polish people expelled from Polish lands taken by the Soviet Union farther east and from Wilno Poland which became Vilnius Lithuania. What a magnificent job they did.

To zadziwiające i smutne, że ludzie w Europie tak mało wiedzą o Polsce. Potrzeba im filmów na Youtubie, (świadczą o tym komentarze) żeby dowiedzieli się, że Polska to jeden z najpiękniejszych i najbardziej bezpiecznych krajów Europy. Zjeździłem całą Europę, od Moskwy po Wyspy Kanaryjskie i nigdzie nie jest tak wspaniale jak w Polsce. Ci wszyscy którzy dopiero teraz zachwycają się Gdańskiem, po obejrzeniu tego filmu, podwójnie by się zdziwili gdybym im powiedział, że równie pięknym, czystym i bezpiecznym miastem jest Grodno na Białorusi. Ale chyba nie mają na tyle wyobraźni, bo dla nich Europa Wschodnia, to ciągle tabu. To przykre, że ludzie z Zachodniej Europy są tak zacofani.

what he showed and introduced as the Oldtown, is actually not. The oldtown is a bit further north adjacent to this what used to be the historic Newtown. In German it is call "Rechtsstadt" - lit. right town and the Poles called something like main town or main quarter. After the devastation of the war it was not rebuilt to what it was before the war as he said, rather to an idealised version - that's whay it looks so pretty today.

Bullshit my dear. Gdańsk not Danzig has always been the Polish city .not only that. It has always been a slavic city. Of course, there were periods of time where it was occupied by the teutonic convent, Prussians and the 3rd Reich, but it was conquered. The roots of Gdansk have always been in Poland. Period.

@@marekmalinowski7188 to summarise Gdańsk’s history it was first founded by Mieszko I of Poland at around the year 980 or so and then from 1215-1271 it was the capital of a Pomeranian Duchy, and then from 1308-1454 it was controlled by the Teutonic Knights, and then from 1454-1793 it was part of the Kingdom of Poland and then from 1793-1806 it was part of the Kingdom of Prussia and then 1807-1814 is was a a free state under Nepoleon, and then from 1815-1919, it became apart of Prussia again, and them from 1920-1939 it again became a free state, then during WW2 it was occupied by Nazi Germany, before finally becoming again after the war. So Poland has occupied the city the most, but Germany has definitely had a lot of influence in the city.
