Gdańsk es una gran ciudad portuaria en la costa del Báltico en el norte de Polonia, capital de la región de Pomerania. Sus coloridas casas de comerciantes y la ornamentada iglesia de Santa María reflejan siglos de herencia comercial hanseática. El museo del Centro Europeo de Solidaridad documenta el movimiento de independencia polaco. Los visitantes típicamente pasean por la histórica plaza del Mercado Largo, visitan el frente portuario y exploran el ámbar local y mariscos regionales.
Gdansk is located on the southern Baltic coast of northern Poland, at the mouth of the Vistula River. It serves as the capital of the Pomeranian Voivodeship and forms part of the Tri-City metropolitan area alongside Gdynia and Sopot. The city's strategic position made it one of the most important trading ports in medieval Europe under the Hanseatic League, and its modern significance was cemented in 1980 when the Solidarity trade union movement, a key catalyst in the peaceful dismantling of communist rule across Central Europe, was founded at the Lenin Shipyard.
