Gdańsk est une grande ville portuaire sur la côte de la Baltique dans le nord de la Pologne, capitale de la région de Poméranie. Ses maisons marchandes colorées et l'ornée église Mariacki reflètent des siècles de patrimoine commercial hanséatique. Le musée du Centre européen de solidarité documente le mouvement d'indépendance polonais. Les visiteurs parcourent généralement la place historique du Long Marché, visitent le front de mer et découvrent l'ambre local et les fruits de mer régionaux.
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.
