Gdańsk, Poland
Hello everyone! 🌞
Our stay
We opted for an Airbnb in the charming area of Długie Ogrody. The location was perfect, providing easy access to all the main attractions while offering a peaceful retreat from the bustling city center. Our Airbnb was cozy and well-equipped, making it a comfortable home base for our adventures.
Day 1
1) Breakfast on the beach
We started our day with a tranquil breakfast at Plaza Stogi. This beautiful beach was the perfect spot to relax and soak in the morning sun. We grabbed some local goodies from a nearby store and enjoyed our meal with the sound of the waves. After breakfast, we took a refreshing swim in the sea. It was the perfect way to start our day. We even built a sand castle 🏰.
2) Explore the City
After our beach time, we headed into the heart of Gdańsk for a leisurely stroll. One of the highlights was the vintage market, a charming spot where we found unique antiques and handcrafted items. There we bought a few souvenirs.
3) Dinner at Mandu
As the day wound down, we made our way to Mandu for an unforgettable dinner. Known for its pierogi, Mandu offered a variety of these delicious dumplings. Traditional fillings like potato and cheese were always a hit, but for a unique twist, we tried their extraordinary varieties like the Oreo pierogi. The combination of savory and sweet flavors left a lasting impression.
4) Visit the Old Town
We continued our exploration of Gdańsk by visiting some of its iconic landmarks. The historic Old Town is a must-see, with its picturesque streets, stunning architecture, and vibrant atmosphere. Don’t miss the Neptune Fountain, a symbol of the city, and the impressive St. Mary’s Church, one of the largest brick churches in the world. And if you’re a history enthusiast, the Museum of the Second World War offers a profound and educational experience.
Tipp: The historic buildings and cobblestone streets looked magical at night under the city lights. We strolled along the river, enjoying the serene night views and the reflections of the lights on the water. The ambiance was perfect for a relaxing end to our day.
Day 2
5) Enjoy the View from the Town Hall
We started our day with a visit to the Town Hall. Climbing to the top, we enjoyed an amazing panoramic view of the city. From up there, we saw the beautiful architecture of the Old Town, the bustling streets, and the picturesque river. The climb was definitely worth it, as the view provided a fantastic way to appreciate the charm and layout of Gdańsk. We spent some time taking photos and just soaking in the scenery, feeling on top of the world.
6) Take a Ride on the Ferris Wheel
In the afternoon, we decided to ride the Ferris wheel. This fun attraction gave us a different perspective of Gdańsk. As the wheel slowly turned, we had plenty of time to take in the sights and snap some great photos. Floating above the city felt really relaxing, and we could see landmarks, parks, and the river from a new angle. The ride was especially enjoyable because it offered a gentle pace, allowing us to chat and enjoy the views without feeling rushed.
7) Have Dinner on a Boat Cruise
We ended our day with a dinner on a boat cruise with Vino and Caleb. This unique dining experience allowed us to enjoy a delicious meal while cruising along the Motława River. The boat’s gentle sway, the city lights reflecting on the water, and the tasty food created a special evening atmosphere.
Day 3
8) Stroll around Bastion’s Hills
We began our third day in Gdańsk with a peaceful walk around the Bastion Hills, the historic fortifications offering some of the best views of the city. These ancient defenses, which once protected Gdańsk, now provide a scenic walking path perfect for a morning stroll. As we walked, we enjoyed the lush greenery and the serene atmosphere, with stunning vistas of the city and river.
9) Relax and Explore
In the afternoon, we took some time to relax and explore more of Gdańsk at our own pace. We wandered through charming streets, visited a few more shops, and enjoyed the vibrant atmosphere of the city. The relaxed pace of the day allowed us to fully appreciate the unique character and charm of Gdańsk.
10) Dinner at Thao Lai
We concluded our day with dinner at Lao Thai. Although a bit expensive, the restaurant offered a delicious array of Thai dishes that were well worth the price. The exotic flavors and beautifully presented dishes provided a perfect end to our day. Plus, Lao Thai offers a stunning view of the Ferris wheel, which added a magical touch to our dining experience, especially as the sky turned vibrant colors at sunset.
Our three days in Gdańsk were filled with unforgettable experiences, from the tranquil beaches and historic landmarks to the scenic walks and delicious cuisine. Each day offered a perfect blend of relaxation, exploration, and cultural immersion.
I hope our journey through Gdańsk inspires you to visit this charming city and create your own memorable adventures. If you’d like to see more of my travels, check out my Instagram and TikTok for photos, videos, and more travel tips.
