Due to its very good strategic location at the Baltic Sea, Gdansk has been an important settlement at least since the 10th century A. With about half a million inhabitants, the former member of the Hanseatic League is a very popular destination for tourists when visiting Poland.
Especially the Old Town district is a real beauty. During a trip in summer , my wife and I explored the capital of Pomerania. Many tourists arrive in the city by the nice, neat airport GDN.

However, there are also some cruise ships. A good starting point to explore the city center of Gdansk is the main station, Gdansk Glowny , which also features bus connections.
Within the city, there is also the possibility to travel by local bus and tram connections. There is also scheduled ferry service. This one is, however, regarded to be rather touristic.
Gdansk Old Town is built along the river Motlawa. My walk rather starts in the rather Northern part of the the city center, close to Hilton Gdansk where my wife and I have been staying. My wife and I crossed one of the channels which the river is flowing to and walked along the bank of the Olowianka peninsula.
