Nice video, good job!.Gdańsk is called a romantic city. More than 80% of buildings in Gdańsk have been destroyed after WWII. It was rebuild everything without any compensation.Gdansk was home to famous Europeans such as astronomer Johannes Hewelius and Gabriel Fareinchard, the inventor of the mercury thermometer. I recommend visiting the Artus Court from the main monuments, this white building near the Neptune fountain has beautiful interiors. The Germans, fleeing from the Russiian army, took many monuments from the Artus Court, but fortunately many were recovered. Gdansk also has a famous astronomical clock in St. Mary's Basilica. It was the largest clock of this type in the world.
Poland is in Central Europe, not Eastern Europe: geographically and mentally. The Iron Curtain fell more than 30 years ago, and it really is high time to understand that that division of Europe no longer existed. The geographical Centre of Europe is in Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine, or the east of Poland (depending on what method of measuring is used). East Europe means russia. If you say that Poland is an Eastern European country then you are insulting Poles with this statement. East is russia and other countries to the east. And we certainly do not want to be associated in any way with this barbaric country.
Gdańsk, throughout its 1000-year history, was Polish for about 700 years and German for roughly 300 years. It was home to many German- and Polish-speaking residents, as well as people of other backgrounds (at that time, the concept of nationality did not exist in its modern sense). Each of these various groups contributed to the development of the city, including the significant German-speaking population. Gdańsk is like a microcosm of Europe - a city, much like many others in Europe, that has changed hands over the centuries and been shaped by the influence of multiple nationalities. Personally, I see this as an added value - something that enriches not only Poland but all of Europe.
Danzig is German name of the city, Gdańsk is Polish and correct one, since its a Polish city, long story short in 1939 second world war started by Germany invading Poland in Gdańsk, so its fair to say that it is a bit touchy subject for poles, hence my message. Love from Poland ❤
@Levin.Hoffmann No, Gdańsk was never the capital of Prussia, the German one, or more precisely the one seized by the German Teutonic Knights. The capital was Königsberg/Królewiec/Kaliningrad, which is the part that Stalin stole/grabbed after 2WW - it is now part of russia. The russians destroyed almost everything there - a few houses remain. Russian propaganda wanted to show how Kaliningrad looked wonderful and showed the Polish city of Elblag on Russian TV lately. And so going back historically, the German Teutonic Knights came to the area at the invitation of the Polish king and instead of cooperating killed most of the Prussian tribes living in the area, and then called themselves Prussians. Then they raided and attacked Poles. A long history. Gdansk was the capital of the Kashubians - this nation lives to this day and the areas around Gdansk including the Hel peninsula are called Kashubia - Kashubians have their own language, culture, and history. Today Gdańsk is located in the Kashubian ethnic area and it serves as the administrative center for the whole of Kashubia, and Kartuzy is the capital of Kashubia.
Great movie, guys. Gdansk is wonderful, but for many foreign tourists Krakow, Wroclaw, Torun, or even Warsaw are equally beautiful. You should return to PL in spring or summer, for winter covers charm and vibe of the cities.
Gdansk is even more beautiful in summer. Come again! Lovely video. Thanks.
0:15 A good idea with these colors. A tourist can quickly know where to go

danzig is deutsch; Gdańsk polski😊
When in Gdańsk you should visit KL Stuthoff Very close to Gdańsk
Look out! Troll.
History is older than just looking back to 1939.

Before that danzig was the capital city of Prussia right
@Levin.Hoffmann it was part of it, not capital if im not mistaken. Is there any point You want to make with this or its just genuine question?

Danzig? Are we going back to 1939?
Yes.
@Ewa-wv6di no we're not. Gdańsk is Polish and there's no reason to use the German spelling
The city is Gdańsk, not Danzing.
