Three Days in Gdańsk - The Secret of the Baltic Sea 🇵🇱 (4k)

- You might have heard of Gdańsk (or Danzig as it is also know), a city next to the Baltic Sea in Poland.
Gdańsk is a base for both Ryanair and Wizzair, so you can fly there for just a few Euros from pretty much anywhere in Europe! But despite this fact I had never visited, and most people when they visit Poland go to Krakow, and not here.
So we figured, why not go to Gdańsk for a few days and check it out? Three days of exploring, and I can tell you, we were not disappointed!
Join us to Gdańsk and explore a cozy old town, eat delicious dumplings (three times lol), check out the "Polish Riviera" (in May), and visit "Malbork Castle" - the biggest castle in the world!
Let's go to Gdańsk!
(In 4k of course)

I'm here now from the US. I'm so impressed with Gdansk. I get a sense this would be a great city to call home and live a nice life. I feel this city sets a great example of what being civilized is. It's a healthy balance of everything. Clean and safe without being boring. It's cool without being pretentious.
Yeah, that's probably the best description I've heard about! Enjoy your time in Gdańsk 😄
As a person who has lived in Gdańsk for almost a year now, I agree that it's a great city, especially if you compare it to where I lived before (village in Ukraine lmao). I don't live in the nicest part of the city, it's quite dirty here and not so safe but I still like it. Tho there are some downsides, first being the size of the city, it's really big, you better have a car, otherwise you'll have to go by bus/tram, and the tickets are quite expensive. And the other downside is that it's quite cold here, but I got used to it already so I'm fine. :D

I was born in Gdansk and now I live in US
Poland was underrated for ages.Finally people realised that Poland got much more to offer.
Maybe it was better that it was underestimated by tourists because it could cultivate its own identity without Western influences. Now I see that when it comes to cuisine, there are a lot of attractions for tourists, they have nothing to do with Polishness. I know, I know, some people will be outraged, it's the 21st century.
I'm heading to explore Poland in September from Australia
I'm sure you'll have a great time 😄
Me too let's meet
Byłam w tym samym czasie w Gdańsku ...po 10 latach .Gdańsk należy definitywnie do najpiękniejszych miast Europy.
Gdaňsk top
You are right - Prague is nice, but Gdansk is stunning! It was the biggest and richest city in Poland between 15th and 18th century!
That's a good way to put it!
Prague is nice. That's all you can say about Prague. Wow, just f*** ing wow. BTW you forgot to mention that this so called "Old" Town in Gdansk is a fake bullthing. It's just a dummy town built in 1950 to milk tourists, something like Disneyland. Prague at least is a real city with original architecture.
Polish Riviera is Sopot. This is just one of many many beaches. I love Gdansk. I was born there. Schooled there and all. Most beautiful place you can find ❤
i love to watching tourists in my country, then i know i live in beautiful place.
You really do!
Poland is Beautiful Country with incredibly architecture
Big👍
Thank you
✌️😎
It really is! Thanks for watching 😁
Gdańsk is a fantastic place, that attracts with its tourist, cultural, sports and business offer
It absolutely is!
Gdansk is amazing city.
The empty spaces between the streets are the result of WWII. Gdańsk was destroyed in 86%. Many outbuildings of old buildings have not been rebuilt. The city was destroyed by the Soviets after the so-called 'liberation'. Many other Polish cities suffered a similar fate. You read The Tin Drum by Gunter Grass. He's a Nobel Prize winner.
That's really interresting! Thank you for sharing!
Ale dales przyklad ,przeciez to anty polski pisarz .
@@jerzy7118 Ignoruję cię debilu. Jesteś amebą intelektualną, wierzącą w bzdury, kłamstwa i pomówienia.
I like such countries and places, I remember how food should taste!
@@jerzy7118sam jesteś antypolski 😅
I enjoyed the Vid so much guys, lovely to see people enjoying themselves is such a nice place. The qualities of the food, transportations etc, the live there is on a grand level. I've never been to Gdansk. And btw, I love pierogi myself as well,, oh God when I look at these pierogies that brings such good memories.
I'm happy you enjoyed it! And yeah, pierogies are just simply delicious 😋
If you visit Gdansk next time I recommend visiting neighbouring city Sopot, which is a top Polish Seaside resort. Sopot also survived Russian annihilation and barbaric destruction not like Gdansk which had to be reconstructed(far from original).
Also Leba and Sand Dunes in Slowinski National Park are stunning! It's Polish Sahara.
Yes, I definitely will! Thank you for the tips! 😄
Sopot is full of German architecture, just like Danzig and Breslau. Everything was stolen by Poland during the Ethnic Cleansing of 1945
Excellent guide video, I’m going to Gdańsk for my honeymoon and wanted to know what to expect. You earned a subscriber with this very well made video!
Thank you, I am very happy to hear you enjoyed the video 😄
Goin g to visit Gdansk in two days. Seems like a really nice place
It really is, I'm sure you'll enjoy it 😄
@@realvoluntaryexile Just came back and yeah, the city is wonderful. And the food is to die for. Would visit again, hopefully next year if my friends are open to the idea. Thank you btw for a great video :)
I'm happy to hear you enjoyed your visit (and the video) 😊
I really enjoyed this video! You two are great together! I hope you both enjoyed your trip. I’m going to Gdańsk with my girlfriend this week, and this video made me really excited. Thank you!
Thank you very much! I'm sure you'll have a great time in Gdańsk, and make sure to not miss out on the pierogi 😄
I am working in Mandu, glad that you enjoyed your pierogi :)
Hahaha cool that you found this video! Yeah we really did 😁
Amazing couple you two :) Thanks for reminding me how beautiful Gdansk is. I really enjoyed watching this video. You should definitely see Krakow and Wrocław next ;))))
Thank you very much! Yeah, we will definitely have to visit Poland again! 😄
Oh, yes, definitely! I am from Gdańsk and i also recommend visiting Wrocław and Kraków. It's a bigger trip though
Surprisingly, I watched this kind of vlog - slower paced, very relaxing and a bit like a short movie - for the first time and I had a whale of time and enjoyed every bit of it!
You hav to see Krakow and the Main Square (the largest in Europe), Kazimierz - the Jewish quarter with Askanazi food and music (I'm a member of the Jewish community here). Later go to Zakopane and see the Polish mountains and Morskie Oko (amazaing lake).
Thank you for the tips! I'd love to visit Krakow in the future 😄
Polecam miasto Wrocław, zakochacie się.
Taka porcja pierogów to 800- 900 kalorii. Trzeba ostro pomaszerować godzinę brzegiem morza.
Yo guys, I’m watching it right now hello from Minnesota 👍
So really quick tip next time you gonna eat Polish White Borscht ask for a horseradish 👍 it’s gonna give you extra kick off goodness😎👍
Ohh, thanks for the tip! I've never heard of "white borscht" before, definitely gonna try that next time 😁
@@realvoluntaryexile no, no no you eat that already ŻUREK: POLISH SOUR RYE SOUP 👍
Ahhh okay, now I get it! Gonna do that for sure 😄
@@realvoluntaryexile and of course you have a tray eat it with bread 👍 😎
@@Al1en_boy_USA Hi, I'm a Pole and white borscht (barszcz biały) is kinda different than żurek. Żurek is made with sour rye starter, while barszcz biały is made with sour wheat starter. The taste of barszcz biały is kinda more delicate :) Both goes well with horseradish!
Miło nam że przyjeżdżają
Good video...this YT channel.will grow.
Thanks for reminding me about the feeling of euphoria I get right after swimming in the Baltic!I miss it! Great vlog♡
Yes, you really get a rush from it! 😄 And thank you for those kind words!
SUPER VIDEO LAIK
I was on the bridge when you filmed the the pirate ship 😂. I’m nosey I kind of half watched as I walked past when you were vlogging.
Liked and subscribed 👍🏻
Hahaha, wow that's funny! Cool that you found the video then 😁 Welcome to the channel!
TH-cam algorithm I’ve been watching a lot of videos on Gdańsk on the run up to and during my stay. I thought it was pretty cool that’s why I commented.
Looking forward to the next one 👍🏻@@realvoluntaryexile
All the best for You and My beautiful city of GDANSK❤⚓️.Greetings from 🇬🇧 UK❤.
Thank you very much 😁
After eating so many dumplings, you fall asleep because the dumplings are very filling.
I don't know if it is still the case but there was a night sightseeing around the castle made like you were in the middle of theater spectacle with knights, torches and so on and so forth. It was actually pretty wild, I loved it.
Oh wow, that sounds really cool! No idea if it's still a thing, but if it's not, they should start doing it again!
@@realvoluntaryexile it is actually, I've checked. Definitely recommend 👍
When you go to Gdansk you should visit Oliwa Cathedral and see unique organ music instrument that has a moving figures. The organ`s are played every day at certain times. In August there are concerts almost every hour
I'm glad you liked it in Gdansk.
Thank you! 😄
@@realvoluntaryexile Poznan is also a beautiful city.
go to krakow or wroclaw there it is just beautiful and cool in Poland
I definitely will check them out in the future!
Gdańsk is nice and different from other cities in Poland, associated with the Hanseatic Guild, therefore similar to cities in Belgium and the Netherlands. Tip for dumplings; cream goes well with Russian dumplings stuffed with potatoes and white cheese, but for me the hit is dumplings with blueberries and cream, I eat 20 pieces at a time.
Ahh man, I was thinking about trying some blueberry ones! Gonna have to do that next time 😄
@@realvoluntaryexile a must - you can sprinkle with sugar and cream, it's even better. 😄
It's not a dish anymore, but you eat it like a dessert. Watch out for the teeth because they can turn purple. As a Pole, I will tell you that the dumplings you eat in restaurants have nothing to do with how they are made at home by hand.😍
@@jerzy7118 *Ruthenian as "ruskie" not Russian which stands for "rosyjskie".
Its different because it has been German since 1308, it has absolutely nothing to do wiht Belgium or Netherlands.
In Gdańsk you should eat fish like Halibut or flądra
Next time I will!
My favorite dumplings are stuffed with forest berries and sweet cream.
We didn't try those, but sounds delicious!
@@realvoluntaryexile
i like your channel.... it's so cozy.... and apart from cozy, it's so cozy... did i mention that?
I'm really happy you enjoy it 😊
@@realvoluntaryexile not gonna lie, i love it..... but i'm not big on beautiful Gdańsk, i'm a Arka Gdynia lad

You haven't seen everything - which is a pity, because there are even more interesting and unusual places. 🙂
Thank you for all the information! And yeah, I'm sure there's a lot more to see, but I'm also pretty sure I will return in the future 😄
More longer vids! 👏👍
I'm happy you like this style 😁
Hello from Gdańsk❤
Hello 😄
@@realvoluntaryexile Zapraszamy!!!
Thanks for the Video!
Whats the name of the last Restaurant with the best dumplings? 😊
Glad you enjoyed it! "Pierogarnia Mandu" is the name of the restaurant! 😊
When in Gdańsk you should visit KL Stuthoff. Very close to Gdańsk
I can imagine that is very interesting, next time I might visit!
Take an aftermeal nap if you need it 😅
Gdansk is best 40min airtrip for me from Sweden :) 80 euro round trip ;)
Then there is no reason not to go 😄
Come in Sommer again to Kraków
I really hope I'll get the chance 😄
You need to come to Poland it's beautiful country!!!!!!!!
I will return for sure! 😄
❤❤❤
You are way too early for this Polish riviera....come back in July when the temp will be 28- 30°c instead of 17 :-)
Well it was refreshing at least 😂
TOP restauranty
Gdansk is nice. But after 4 years in Poland, I must say, there are so many other things I found much more interesting than Gdansk. In my opinion, Gdansk has a problem with over-tourism. Especially from June to August.
Hi guys :) welcome
Hello, thank you very much 😄
What month did you travel to Gdansk?
We went there in the first half of May!
👍📷💪💕

Cannabis-based topical would help to cure your skin problems. You could mix a drip or two of the Chrism oil into your favorite topical.
24:08 that's 100% not amber lol
Hahaha, happy to hear! Then I don't have to be sad I lost it 😂
You were probably very hungary in Gdansk .. I don’t eat so much 😂
We could simply not stop eating pierogi, simply too delicious 😂
@@realvoluntaryexile I am from Poland but I don’t eat pierogi non stop, only sometimes 😄😉👍 Ok, it’s good that pierogi were delicious . Where are you from? By the way
I'm from Sweden, and my girlfriend is German!
@@realvoluntaryexile hmm , from Sweden.. somebody once said to me that coloured old Houses in Gdansk resemble old coloured houses in Sweden, is it true? In your opinion ? Do we have Swedish influences in Gdansk visible in old architecture..? It is my question, I don’t know Sweden closer …
I would say so, definitely felt familiar! I think that style was quite common in a lot of trading cities around the baltic sea!
dudes define secret? Poland officially exists since 996.
I'm pretty sure most people know that Poland has been around for a long time, but most people don't know that it's a cool place to visit! That's my definition of "secret" 😁
@@realvoluntaryexile respect. english is my secend and some times my translation sucks.
One of the best city in Poland Not only main square place to visit in Gdańsk outside of mind city is more 34 neighborhoods in Gdańsk I recommend Gdańsk Sopot Gdynia to visit Everyone who wants to see something Special Gdańsk the best way to see Beauty Just walk for example from Sopot to Gdańsk about 12 km 2 hrs slow walk You see more I agree that city beautiful Poland was rebuild no one help after world war 2 Germany occupied the city In world war II Germans have factory of supplement in Gdańsk allies have to bomb it Gdańsk lost from Germans and Russians too much Even world war ll Russia burn churches in Gdańsk 90s still you see little bit of it Today different completely 99% buildings are fix it outside more colors are available and is clean Ok bye
It's a city with a long complex history indeed, but today it is very nice! Definitely also gonna check out Gdyna and Sopot next time 😄
I move from Poland 30 years ago to USA for Poland Gdańsk I can tell you 90s was beginning of Revolution it take 25 years Poland to fix it whole country from commusit system time Every year I go back to visit my family snice 2008 to 2023 Poland Spend huge amount of money for more transformation The last 8 years Poland add 3% to 10% of GDP Special on Army and Social and Health system Poland is not any more use to be Poland offered high quality culture Polish government adding new art of Old Polish culture most of the stolen in world world II Today return to Poland if you want to see more Polish culture will take 10 years good to visit Places special like museum's Gdańsk have most Amber art work I'm glad you visit like Castle I was so many times in the castle in Malbork good luck bye
why you eat all the time pierogi 🤷♂ polish cuisine is schabowy, bigos, zurek. second things, castle in malbork is 55km from gdansk 💁♂
Haha, we just couldn't get enough of them 😅 Next time we'll try other things for sure!
good jop
Thank you!
Why is Gdańsk so special? There is no such thing as other cities in Poland, i.e. the Market Square.
Why music is from balkans or russia?
Well, I couldn't find any copyright free Polish music, so I had to improvise. No offence intended!
But it's kinda offensive to be honest.
I know you didn't want to bore 😴the viewers with unnecessary facts (little time? REACTING ON MOVIE Unconquered )but nevertheless, in the Gdańsk Shipyard, the fall of communism began, not only for Poland, but also the Berlin Wall fell. good history!!!
A very important event in European history!
Polish Cities are not underatet, just Prague is overated!
That's another way to look at it! 😄
Kinda subjective. Overrating (or underrating) is often matter of "numbers of tourist". Many of popular cities and towns are pretty, with great people, with lots of local experiences... just overtourism and the tourist offer is ruining it sometimes. And important fact: Gdansk was almost destroyed after WWII (just about 10-15% remains), Prague stayed practically untouched (except some historical buildings). And that's for some visitors important also (it may be "genius loci"). To call a city with such a rich history and countless monuments as overrated... is a bit short-sighted. And nothing against Gdansk of course.
no Polish city comes even close to Prague, thats like claiming that Legia Warsaw is actually better than Real Madrid
I wonder why Poland is clean and safe... I don't know, but I can guess...
"Pierogi" not dumplings! Do You eat pizza or italian pie with cheese? Sushi or tuna with rise? Do NOT translate national food name, please. Kimchi, spaghetti, pizza, shoarma, gyros, PIEROGI ;)
Hmm, you do make a good point actually! From now on I will call them "pierogi" 😄
I think that you don’t understand and don’t feel Polish history and culture. You ‚ve presented this film superficially .. For me it is lack of seriousness
You're absolutely right, but it's also not intended to be very serious either! Gdańsk is beautiful, and I enjoyed it there, so I hope you enjoyed the video anyway!
@@realvoluntaryexile yes, I enjoyed the video, probably because I am from Poland and just from Gdansk I feel the difficult, complicated history here .. but I agree with you that Gdansk is amazing .. for me too … The best wishes from Gdansk for you 👍😊

Okay folks! Your film is unique. You guys are unique! In a right way ofc!
So, you deserve for a like and a sub!
Here we go! ; ]
Thank you very much, we really appreciate it 😊
@@realvoluntaryexile At your service! ; ]
There is nothing interesting - a simply city in Poland.
Have you been there?
