Gdansk may not get as many visitors as Warsaw and Gdansk may not get as many visitors as Warsaw and Krakow every year, but it should still be high on your list of places to visit in Poland 🤩

You’ll find it has a much more relaxed feel than other cities, and the old town is very easy to explore on foot 🧱

Make sure you add places like Mariacka Street, St. Mary’s Church, Bread Bridge, Neptune’s Fountain, and Motlawa River to your itinerary ⛲️

And you can’t leave without trying @wisniewski.ltd - a cherry liqueur originating from Gdansk 🍒

If you’ve been following my page for a while, you’ If you’ve been following my page for a while, you’ll know how much I love going on food tours 😍

The Gdansk Polish Food Tour by @deliciouspoland costs €91 per person and lasts for around 3 hours 🚶🏼‍♀️

During this time, a local guide will walk you through the Old Town where you’ll learn more about the city’s history and stop at some fantastic local eateries - including a traditional milk bar! 🥟

This tour is a fun alternative to regular walking tours, and it lets you explore Gdansk like a local, while eating of course 🤤
