Gdansk, or Danzig as it is known in German, is Poland’s sixth largest city located in the Bay of Gdansk and on the shores of the Baltic Sea. It has a rich historical heritage, owing to its 1000-year-old history and its distinction of being the ‘launching site’ of World War II.

Gdansk, together with the towns of Sopot and Gdynia, forms the Tri-city or Greater Gdansk. There are regular bus and train services between the 3 cities allowing for commercial and tourist movement. The capital Warsaw is just 4 hours away by train.
