Gdańsk é uma grande cidade portuária na costa do Báltico no norte da Polônia, capital da região da Pomerânia. Suas casarões mercantis coloridos e a ornamentada Igreja de Santa Maria refletem séculos de herança comercial hanseática. O museu do Centro Europeu de Solidariedade documenta o movimento de independência polonês. Os visitantes tipicamente passeiam pela histórica praça do Mercado Longo, visitam a frente portuária e exploram âmbar local e frutos do mar regionais.
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.
