There is no ocean in Poland, it's only a sea: Baltic Sea. There are also beaches in Gdańsk, even with a molo, but closer to Sopot. The buildings in the Old Town are Indeed similar to ones you can find in North Germany, Denmark, or the Netherlands.

The architecture is actually dutch. Somewhere around the 16th century a lot of dutch people migrated to Poland (mainly northern Poland, including Gdańsk) So thats why there is dutch influence there in Gdańsk. The city was also the richest city in Poland around that time. There were mainly Polish and Dutch people in Gdańsk before the partitions, when germany started to germanize former northen Poland.
It is not really Dutch any more or less than it is German, Polish, or Danish, or Swedish,... Gdansk was a member of the Hanseatic League. The Hansa's capital was actually in Lübeck (Germany) and they were a merchant guild whose influence spread as far as Tallinn. Each of the Hansa cities looks somewhat similar as most of what you see are literally _merchant_ houses. Only much later (literally >200 years) would the Dutch become highly influential (East India Trading Company / VOC) and arguably usurp that architectural style as their own.
@@the8thvictim Historically Germany occupied Gdansk for only about 280 years. During this time German influence was indeed significant and the city was expanded quite meaningfully. Nevertheless it started out as a Slavic settlement, and was part of Poland for more than 700 years in total. Neither the term _always_ nor _mostly_ are quite applicable.

Brief from wikipedia: The Hanseatic League[a] was a medieval commercial and defensive network of merchant guilds and market towns in Central and Northern Europe. Growing from a few North German towns in the late 12th century, the League expanded between the 13th and 15th centuries and ultimately encompassed nearly 200 settlements across eight modern-day countries, ranging from Estonia in the north and east, to the Netherlands in the west, and extended inland as far as Cologne, the Prussian regions and Kraków, Poland.
Beautiful video 👍 thank you. I've been to Warsaw and Krakau 12 years ago and last week to Wroclaw, i prefer Wroclaw, when he said there are a lot of churches in Gdansk with german, Polish and scandinavien architecture styles architecture i was immediately intrested to visit that city. I liked and subscribed 🙂
Tricity has the best setting , you are right although you must think in a smaller scale: it's Baltic sea coast ( not the ocean) and not mountains rather hills, but still this bay area is enclaved on Tricity National Woodlands so it's very beautiful and the air quality (with Sopot having to be a natural SPA due to Iodine deposits and nice wellness bath) and the water quality is great ( tap water perfectly drinkable). Also the Kashubian lakes and woodland is only about an hour away so that's added benefit. Gdańsk is one od the oldest cities (established 997) and has a long, rich and somewhat complicated history. And that is reflected in the Architecture - it was once the richest city in Poland and was part of the Hanseatic league so that's your Copenhagen or Amsterdam vibe. Also there were a lot of people from all over here including Dutch, Brits, French and of course Germans and at some point Scots as a part of the city is to this day called Nowe Szkoty (New Scots) and it had a significant Jewish population.
Hmm. I'll probably try living here for a few months to see if I'll like it. I have seasonal allergies to grass pollen, so being near the ocean tends to help alleviate this problem.
The "old town" that you strolled through is actually new for various reasons. 1. This part is not the old town. The old town was next to it and was a medieval town. 2. This part of the town is called "Main City". It looked very different before the war because it was almost completely destroyed. After the war there were three options: no reconstruction, reconstruction as it was before the war, reconstruction as it was at the end of the 18th century. The third option was chosen. Only the facades were rebuilt, and new houses were built behind them. You can see this because some houses have two or three different facades from the front, but windows are always at the same height. Behind these three facades there is one residential house. The entrances to the houses are always from the back.
Gdańsk is the city where your 0F temperature comes from. Fahrenheit measured the lowest temperature during 3 consecutive winters in Gdańsk. If only he cared to go to Suwałki your 0F would be some 20 degrees lower. 🥶 It's also the city where WW2 started and Communism began to fall.
That girl was so cringe xd I was to Bialystok two months ago and it was amazing. May not be a port city but the vibe there is just next level. Lack of mind virus is also a cool addition to the whole equation. Unlike the girl in the video, you're an open minded person and I think you'll quickly notice the beauty of that place
Hey guys! The girl from the video here. I just want to clear some things up. 1. When I was talking about Białystok I was talking about how people in the east are usually more conservative than people in the west. Statistics also show that in terms of choosing political parties more conservative believes are dominating above the liberal ones. I don't have anything against people in Białystok, know plenty of them. In terms of pride parades, I was talking about the incident in 2019 when extremist were throwing rocks and threatening people participating in the event. 2. Yeah, Dwór Artusa isn't the most expensive, just a poor choice of words. I wanted to say that it has rich history, my bad.
Potwierdzają się opinie wielu osób, w tym obcokrajowców, że Polska jest piękna i że dokonali właściwego wyboru przyjezdzajac do naszego kraju i to nie tylko w celach turystycznych.
Oni wszyscy robia te filmiki w ten sposob, nikt nie robi filmu , bylem w beznadziejnym miescie, nie jezdzie tam. Nie mialy by takiego zasiegu i popularnosci. Nie mowie, ze mu sie nie podobalo, ale trzeba to ogladac ze szczypta spceptycyzmu, bo kazde ladne miasto i kazda dziura ma swoje pochwalne filmiki na YouTubie.
Gdansk is more diverse.. have you seen maybe 5% of this city and maybe 2 less than full districts? :D Gdansk has 35 districts :D . It has a beautiful zoo, a great district to live in Gdansk Wrzeszcz, where it is more modern, a kind of second center.. Gdynia also has many nice districts, some of the residential ones located 140m above sea level have great views of the rest of the city and the sea :D
This is was my first choice if I were to move to Poland. Historically speaking, I read often that is where WW2 officially started. Aside from that, it is also called the gingerbread capital. I am jealous!
Piękny Gdańsk. Tak właśnie działają przypływy 🌊😀 Cieszę się, że 3miasto będzie się w pozytywny sposób kojarzyć Krakusowi 😉😄 I przypomniała mi się od razu piosenka: L.U.C. ft. Sarsa (+Kasia Figura) - 'Dobra fala': ruclips.net/video/F2JCzQj6xWs/видео.htmlsi=waZgRqvKrejWETwJ
Calling Baltic Bay an ocean is a big exaggeration😂 like when you go sailing it is just like a big lake. But yes, the climate is different. And I even see the difference in time in comparison to Cracow. This half an hour od light in the evening is visible. Glad you liked my city😊
Yes "old city" of GDAŃSK is the best in Poland. It was totally destroyed during 2nd WW and it's still rebuilding. It's something like Copenhagen or Amsterdam :)
As Poles, we do not consider many of our cities being "closed minded" to refugees, liberalism or lgbt, a bad thing, because the very reason Poland is such a nice, safe and peaceful place is that we are homogenous and traditional in our way of life. More liberal polish youth simply leaves to Germany and UK, and this is fine. Poland has a more conservative vibe and that's fine too. It's okay for Countries to be different. Accepting that fact is truly being open minded.
@@fluffyfiber PiS got the most votes still. Liberal parties formed the government because they have a new coalition of multiple parties. And many of those "liberal parties" still have very conservative views when it comes to refugees and other matters.
@mitromney in every major city like warsaw and gdansk ko had around 40% of the votes meanwhile pis had 20-25%, pretty much 2x less. It's the small towns and villages that are conservative
@@fluffyfiber Yes you are correct there is a divide between large cities and small cities. But then again, there is also an even larger divide between north and south. Most cities on the South are much more conservative. Cities like Tarnów voted for PiS 37% to KO, 26%. Some cities like Rzeszów voted as much as 55% for PiS to KO's 14%. Poland does indeed have a broad spectrum of views, but once again, majority of Poles remains conservative, which is reflected in the programs of even the most liberal parties. Maybe it's because we are not a very rich country. With wealth comes political progress and liberalism, which we see in the western Europe. Maybe it's because much of the younger, more liberal generation left Poland for places like UK. Who knows.
I love the white culture in Poland. Seriously, it is a safe country and one of the few countries that resisted immigration invasion. That's why all minorities want to move there now haha
Such a generalization is unfair, I mean Białystok, even though I am from Gorzów, which is liberal to the core. Let this lady go to progressive Berlin, preferably to the Muslim district at night. She'll like it.
Everything in Gdansk's Old Town was destroyed during WW2! Gdansk was part of the Hanseatic league, so it looks similar to the Lübeck, Riga, Tallinn, Hamburg among others. I am from Gdansk, and I like the film, but next time look for a guide who knows something about the visited city :)
Polish rule and period of prosperity On February 5, 1454, an anti-Teutonic uprising broke out in Gdańsk. The townspeople occupied, among other places, the Great Mill, and the Teutonic crew withdrew to the castle. After a few days, the castle commander Konrad Pfersfelder surrendered the castle, after which the inhabitants immediately began to demolish it. Thus, after 146 years, the period of Teutonic rule in Gdańsk ended. On March 6 of that year, King Casimir IV Jagiellon, at the request of the Prussian Confederation's embassy headed by Jan Bażyński, incorporated Gdańsk into Poland, at the same time granting it the privilege of minting its own coins (this privilege was also granted to Toruń). Gdańsk was released from coastal law, and representatives of the Prussian lands were also allowed to elect the King of Poland. Gdańsk entered the Thirteen Years' War in 1455; The people of Gdańsk paid homage to Casimir IV Jagiellon, and on 25 May 1457 - like Toruń - the city received the so-called Great Privilege, ensuring the free import of goods via the Vistula from Poland, Lithuania and Ruthenia without the need for inspection, as well as other privileges that were to reward the city for its contribution to the war. The conclusion of the Peace of Toruń in 1466 guaranteed Royal Prussia and Warmia to remain with Poland. The treaty included a provision that Gdańsk belonged to Poland. In 1467, the king abolished the office of governor and established, following the example of the Crown, the title of capitaneus Prussiae Generalis. The Pomeranian Voivodeship was established, in which the offices of castellans, chamberlains and judges were established, who were members of the so-called Prussian council. It also included two representatives each of Gdańsk, Elbląg and Toruń. The king also appointed starosts for these cities. In 1469, the municipal and land courts made the system of Prussia similar to that of the Crown. Under Polish rule, Gdańsk became a dynamic trade centre, had extensive trade contacts with many countries, and was associated with the Hansa. Exports increased, especially grain. Economic development is illustrated by the tables below, presenting traffic in the port of Gdańsk. The decreasing importance of smaller Hanseatic centres can be seen in favour of Dutch ones. During the Polish-Teutonic War of 1519-1521, on 8-10 November 1520, German Landsknechts supporting the Teutonic Knights fired on Gdańsk from Biskupia Górka. In 1525, the Gdańsk Tumult took place, an uprising of the Lutheran commoners and plebs against the mayor Eberhard Ferber, which overthrew the old city council. On April 17, 1526, King Sigismund I the Old entered Gdańsk at the head of 8,000 troops, ordered the execution of the rebels, and expanded the powers of his burgrave, who was given higher powers than the mayor. After the Gdańsk revolt was suppressed, on June 13, 1526, 14 leaders of the coup, led by George Wendland, were beheaded on Długi Targ. King Sigismund II Augustus, with a special decree of tolerance for Gdańsk in 1557, calmed social moods and put an end to religious conflicts in the city. The decree of tolerance was the first legal act of its kind in Europe. Monetary unification was also introduced. In 1564, 23,899 victims of the plague epidemic were recorded in Gdańsk. In 1575, Stephen Báthory became King of Poland. Gdańsk, however, did not want to recognize him and sided with Emperor Maximilian II, who promised the city significant trade benefits. Even after the emperor's death in 1577, Gdańsk was ready to pay homage to Stephen Báthory only in exchange for significant concessions. For this reason, the city was besieged by Stephen Báthory in 1577. Ultimately, the king was satisfied with an apology and a payment of 200,000 guilders. On December 16, 1577, Stephen Báthory confirmed the city's privileges, extending religious tolerance to other denominations. Gdańsk became a refuge for foreigners persecuted in their countries for their religious beliefs, among whom were outstanding and talented people. On June 22, 1596, the Gdańsk City Council Library (Bibliotheca Senatus Gedanensis), the current Gdańsk Library of the Polish Academy of Sciences, was opened. In 1602, 16,919 residents of Gdańsk died as a result of the plague.
First of all, you should have better tour guide than Magdalena, cause when I saw that she get you to the Mandu restaurant where food is really bad in comparison to other restaurants and she say that in Bialystok people are closed-minded it seems that she know nothing. Bialystok is the capital of Podlasie region which is the most beauty region in Poland cause there are 4 (the most in Poland) National Parks and Podlasie was and is till now the region of 'mosaic of cultures' where Catholics, Orthodox, Jews nad Tatars live in harmony. What more, I agree that Gdynia is better to live in than Gdańsk ;)
OK BRO, you are probably not going to read this but anyway, do the following exactly as I say: -Find 2 days (3 if you are and idiot) of spare time -Go to the WWII museum in Gdansk, don't rush it (you have two days, three if you are dumb) Milk content, you will not regret taking your time there and reading trough stuff they have in there.
open minded yeah till you go for metal festival called mistic and you got a procession of people shouting "nie festiwalowi szatana" and let me tell you they aren't happy when you join their procession tho maybe its ok if you're not wearing heavy metal clothes and aren't shitfaced I did not check
Living in Gdańsk I would disagree about a few things. 1. Gdańsk being close to nature... maaaaaaybe compared to other cities. I still have to walk a few kilometers to the nearest park, and I'm planning to move out of Gdańsk to someplace that's ACTUALLY close to nature, because the apartment where I live is just a noisy urban area. It's a 5 minute walk to a shopping center, but a 30 minute walk to the nearest park and an hour walk to the nearest forest. If something is 5% nature, it might look 'closer to nature' than other things that are 3% or 4% nature, but personally I would prefer having a forest close enough that I could visit it every day, and a shopping center can be kilometers away if I only visit it twice a month. 2. Gdańsk being flat. Eeehhh.... it's on moraine hills formed by glaciers during the ice age. Yes, you can travel around by bike, but primarily parallel to the sea. Try traveling perpendicular to the sea, and you'll be going up and down hill quite a lot. Maybe not in the old town area - that is indeed relatively flat. But many other city districts are quite hilly, or separated from each other by hills and slopes. Compared to other cities I'd say Gdańsk is moderately hilly. Some cities definitely have it worse, but other cities are actually built on flatlands, unlike Gdańsk. 3. As for liberalism, it's simply that left-wing parties have a slight lead in Gdańsk (say 60%), while in other cities they may have 40% votes. Also, some of them have major centers of operation in Gdańsk, which often leads to left-wing politicians being much more 'advertised' in Gdańsk, compared to cities where right-wing parties have more presence. Cities where pride parades happen largely depend on whether the city president and their staff are leaning left or right, which mostly comes down to winning elections by a tiny margin. And often swings the opposite way every elections.
Sorry, but I'll be honest, she gave you a bit of a mediocre tour and her way of thinking poorly represents the way Poles think today. If you would like to know the secrets of Gdansk, something that not everyone knows, let me know. I'll be happy to show you what and how ;)
The word tolerance means patiently enduring something. That is why I endure the equality parade. However, I do not see any tolerance among the participants of this parade.
Yeah like... I realy dont think Gdansk is that liberal, we have more like... non-intervention policy? As long as you dont get in our face with all crap we are good, but I believe most of us would rather have all gone from here. Though that is just how I see it, I might be wrong and simply from this kind of crowd. And no, I am not sorry for being anti-rainbow.
She's wrong ,Im live in Gdańsk since i was born (43 years ) and im conservative (but earleir im was a liberal ) ,and many people in Gdasńsk have the same views.
@@sepiks9099 in the previous elections gdańsk voted: 46.67% KO 20,01% PiS 14,47% Trzecia Droga 10,97% Lewica 5,65% Konfederacja rest independent That means that our current government of KO, Lewica and Trzecia Droga that dethroned PiS received 72,11% of the votes in total.
@@fluffyfiber You must have to read more carefully .I wrote about election of MAYOR OF CITY GDANSK 2023 .Current mayor ''Dulkiewicz'' she had 62,30% of votes and she is a liberal.The rest of the voters ,dont want her.
Honestly your guide was terrible. I'm from Gdynia and I don't know Gdańsk super well and I don't like Gdańsk as a city tbh but even I can say she has no idea about Gdańsk and its history. Dwór Artusa is not the most expensive building in Gdańsk, like cmon, does she even believe that? It wasn't even well preserved, it was completely destroyed during WW2. Also, the window girl next to Dwór Artusa was not a legend, it's 100% fictional character, you can look it up "panienka z okienka". Also that building she stated is one apartament for whole building is in fact not one apartament, like wtf is she talking about. And that bs that she's talking about eastern Poland, if she really thinks like that it means that SHE is close minded and she's never been there, probably just cares about pride parades that she heard in news and doesn't even know anything else about Bialystok and eastern Poland in general. I mean she literally said that women like guys with hobbies and that's why kpop is big here - what the actual f?

I liked and subscribed 🙂
2:23 - it is my street !!!! And the house where I lived when I was young.
Tricity has the best setting , you are right although you must think in a smaller scale: it's Baltic sea coast ( not the ocean) and not mountains rather hills, but still this bay area is enclaved on Tricity National Woodlands so it's very beautiful and the air quality (with Sopot having to be a natural SPA due to Iodine deposits and nice wellness bath) and the water quality is great ( tap water perfectly drinkable). Also the Kashubian lakes and woodland is only about an hour away so that's added benefit. Gdańsk is one od the oldest cities (established 997) and has a long, rich and somewhat complicated history. And that is reflected in the Architecture - it was once the richest city in Poland and was part of the Hanseatic league so that's your Copenhagen or Amsterdam vibe. Also there were a lot of people from all over here including Dutch, Brits, French and of course Germans and at some point Scots as a part of the city is to this day called Nowe Szkoty (New Scots) and it had a significant Jewish population.
Gdansk/Tricity is the best place to live in Poland
Hmm. I'll probably try living here for a few months to see if I'll like it. I have seasonal allergies to grass pollen, so being near the ocean tends to help alleviate this problem.
That swirve though damnnnnn. She straight up turned around and walked away after that.
The "old town" that you strolled through is actually new for various reasons. 1. This part is not the old town. The old town was next to it and was a medieval town. 2. This part of the town is called "Main City". It looked very different before the war because it was almost completely destroyed. After the war there were three options: no reconstruction, reconstruction as it was before the war, reconstruction as it was at the end of the 18th century. The third option was chosen. Only the facades were rebuilt, and new houses were built behind them. You can see this because some houses have two or three different facades from the front, but windows are always at the same height. Behind these three facades there is one residential house. The entrances to the houses are always from the back.
YES IT IS!
Any tips on the most ideal city for tennis in Poland?
Lol, when I start the video and 1 second in I see a place where I was today in Park Oliwski. Went over that bridge like 6 hours ago.
Gdańsk is the city where your 0F temperature comes from. Fahrenheit measured the lowest temperature during 3 consecutive winters in Gdańsk. If only he cared to go to Suwałki your 0F would be some 20 degrees lower. 🥶
It's also the city where WW2 started and Communism began to fall.
That girl was so cringe xd I was to Bialystok two months ago and it was amazing. May not be a port city but the vibe there is just next level. Lack of mind virus is also a cool addition to the whole equation. Unlike the girl in the video, you're an open minded person and I think you'll quickly notice the beauty of that place
She is Liberal you can see

Hey guys! The girl from the video here.
I just want to clear some things up.
1. When I was talking about Białystok I was talking about how people in the east are usually more conservative than people in the west. Statistics also show that in terms of choosing political parties more conservative believes are dominating above the liberal ones. I don't have anything against people in Białystok, know plenty of them. In terms of pride parades, I was talking about the incident in 2019 when extremist were throwing rocks and threatening people participating in the event.
2. Yeah, Dwór Artusa isn't the most expensive, just a poor choice of words. I wanted to say that it has rich history, my bad.
I loved your presence in the video. Some other perspective.

Gdansk is more diverse.. have you seen maybe 5% of this city and maybe 2 less than full districts? :D Gdansk has 35 districts :D . It has a beautiful zoo, a great district to live in Gdansk Wrzeszcz, where it is more modern, a kind of second center.. Gdynia also has many nice districts, some of the residential ones located 140m above sea level have great views of the rest of the city and the sea :D
Not the churros from Żabka! OMG LOL
Oliwa, I live there! In Gdańsk we have cool murals, on Zaspa.
This is was my first choice if I were to move to Poland. Historically speaking, I read often that is where WW2 officially started. Aside from that, it is also called the gingerbread capital. I am jealous!
The gingerbread capital is toruń

"we are openminded unlike certain group of people (random group in fact)"
There is logical contradiction into that and not the cute one.

Calling Baltic Bay an ocean is a big exaggeration😂 like when you go sailing it is just like a big lake. But yes, the climate is different. And I even see the difference in time in comparison to Cracow. This half an hour od light in the evening is visible.
Glad you liked my city😊

Yes "old city" of GDAŃSK is the best in Poland. It was totally destroyed during 2nd WW and it's still rebuilding. It's something like Copenhagen or Amsterdam :)
As Poles, we do not consider many of our cities being "closed minded" to refugees, liberalism or lgbt, a bad thing, because the very reason Poland is such a nice, safe and peaceful place is that we are homogenous and traditional in our way of life. More liberal polish youth simply leaves to Germany and UK, and this is fine. Poland has a more conservative vibe and that's fine too. It's okay for Countries to be different. Accepting that fact is truly being open minded.
Poland has a diverse culture and dialect, we don't need cultural enrichment from the USA like lgbt.
Is that why pretty much every bigger city voted for koalicja obywatelska and lewica instead of pis?
@@fluffyfiber PiS got the most votes still. Liberal parties formed the government because they have a new coalition of multiple parties. And many of those "liberal parties" still have very conservative views when it comes to refugees and other matters.
@mitromney in every major city like warsaw and gdansk ko had around 40% of the votes meanwhile pis had 20-25%, pretty much 2x less. It's the small towns and villages that are conservative
@@fluffyfiber Yes you are correct there is a divide between large cities and small cities. But then again, there is also an even larger divide between north and south. Most cities on the South are much more conservative. Cities like Tarnów voted for PiS 37% to KO, 26%. Some cities like Rzeszów voted as much as 55% for PiS to KO's 14%. Poland does indeed have a broad spectrum of views, but once again, majority of Poles remains conservative, which is reflected in the programs of even the most liberal parties. Maybe it's because we are not a very rich country. With wealth comes political progress and liberalism, which we see in the western Europe. Maybe it's because much of the younger, more liberal generation left Poland for places like UK. Who knows.
yea, it is
I love the white culture in Poland. Seriously, it is a safe country and one of the few countries that resisted immigration invasion. That's why all minorities want to move there now haha
There's no such thing as white culture
She look good

Is Gdańsk better than Prague?
Balitic sea not ocean😉
Ocean?
Such a generalization is unfair, I mean Białystok, even though I am from Gorzów, which is liberal to the core. Let this lady go to progressive Berlin, preferably to the Muslim district at night. She'll like it.
Everything in Gdansk's Old Town was destroyed during WW2! Gdansk was part of the Hanseatic league, so it looks similar to the Lübeck, Riga, Tallinn, Hamburg among others. I am from Gdansk, and I like the film, but next time look for a guide who knows something about the visited city :)
„Ocean” 😂
Bydgoszcz is smaller version of Gdańsk, 8th biggest city in Poland
Polish rule and period of prosperity
On February 5, 1454, an anti-Teutonic uprising broke out in Gdańsk. The townspeople occupied, among other places, the Great Mill, and the Teutonic crew withdrew to the castle. After a few days, the castle commander Konrad Pfersfelder surrendered the castle, after which the inhabitants immediately began to demolish it. Thus, after 146 years, the period of Teutonic rule in Gdańsk ended. On March 6 of that year, King Casimir IV Jagiellon, at the request of the Prussian Confederation's embassy headed by Jan Bażyński, incorporated Gdańsk into Poland, at the same time granting it the privilege of minting its own coins (this privilege was also granted to Toruń). Gdańsk was released from coastal law, and representatives of the Prussian lands were also allowed to elect the King of Poland.
Gdańsk entered the Thirteen Years' War in 1455; The people of Gdańsk paid homage to Casimir IV Jagiellon, and on 25 May 1457 - like Toruń - the city received the so-called Great Privilege, ensuring the free import of goods via the Vistula from Poland, Lithuania and Ruthenia without the need for inspection, as well as other privileges that were to reward the city for its contribution to the war. The conclusion of the Peace of Toruń in 1466 guaranteed Royal Prussia and Warmia to remain with Poland. The treaty included a provision that Gdańsk belonged to Poland. In 1467, the king abolished the office of governor and established, following the example of the Crown, the title of capitaneus Prussiae Generalis. The Pomeranian Voivodeship was established, in which the offices of castellans, chamberlains and judges were established, who were members of the so-called Prussian council. It also included two representatives each of Gdańsk, Elbląg and Toruń. The king also appointed starosts for these cities. In 1469, the municipal and land courts made the system of Prussia similar to that of the Crown. Under Polish rule, Gdańsk became a dynamic trade centre, had extensive trade contacts with many countries, and was associated with the Hansa. Exports increased, especially grain. Economic development is illustrated by the tables below, presenting traffic in the port of Gdańsk. The decreasing importance of smaller Hanseatic centres can be seen in favour of Dutch ones. During the Polish-Teutonic War of 1519-1521, on 8-10 November 1520, German Landsknechts supporting the Teutonic Knights fired on Gdańsk from Biskupia Górka. In 1525, the Gdańsk Tumult took place, an uprising of the Lutheran commoners and plebs against the mayor Eberhard Ferber, which overthrew the old city council. On April 17, 1526, King Sigismund I the Old entered Gdańsk at the head of 8,000 troops, ordered the execution of the rebels, and expanded the powers of his burgrave, who was given higher powers than the mayor. After the Gdańsk revolt was suppressed, on June 13, 1526, 14 leaders of the coup, led by George Wendland, were beheaded on Długi Targ.
King Sigismund II Augustus, with a special decree of tolerance for Gdańsk in 1557, calmed social moods and put an end to religious conflicts in the city. The decree of tolerance was the first legal act of its kind in Europe. Monetary unification was also introduced. In 1564, 23,899 victims of the plague epidemic were recorded in Gdańsk.
In 1575, Stephen Báthory became King of Poland. Gdańsk, however, did not want to recognize him and sided with Emperor Maximilian II, who promised the city significant trade benefits. Even after the emperor's death in 1577, Gdańsk was ready to pay homage to Stephen Báthory only in exchange for significant concessions. For this reason, the city was besieged by Stephen Báthory in 1577. Ultimately, the king was satisfied with an apology and a payment of 200,000 guilders.
On December 16, 1577, Stephen Báthory confirmed the city's privileges, extending religious tolerance to other denominations. Gdańsk became a refuge for foreigners persecuted in their countries for their religious beliefs, among whom were outstanding and talented people. On June 22, 1596, the Gdańsk City Council Library (Bibliotheca Senatus Gedanensis), the current Gdańsk Library of the Polish Academy of Sciences, was opened.
In 1602, 16,919 residents of Gdańsk died as a result of the plague.
She definitely too pretty for you 😍
Baltic is a Sea not an Ocean 😂
First of all, you should have better tour guide than Magdalena, cause when I saw that she get you to the Mandu restaurant where food is really bad in comparison to other restaurants and she say that in Bialystok people are closed-minded it seems that she know nothing. Bialystok is the capital of Podlasie region which is the most beauty region in Poland cause there are 4 (the most in Poland) National Parks and Podlasie was and is till now the region of 'mosaic of cultures' where Catholics, Orthodox, Jews nad Tatars live in harmony. What more, I agree that Gdynia is better to live in than Gdańsk ;)
Sorry. Your comments were quite incorrect.
She so nice, that wanted to spend so much time with someone as boring as you 😃
Yeah she's a great girl for sure
OK BRO, you are probably not going to read this but anyway, do the following exactly as I say:
-Find 2 days (3 if you are and idiot) of spare time
-Go to the WWII museum in Gdansk, don't rush it (you have two days, three if you are dumb)
Milk content, you will not regret taking your time there and reading trough stuff they have in there.

Living in Gdańsk I would disagree about a few things.
1. Gdańsk being close to nature... maaaaaaybe compared to other cities. I still have to walk a few kilometers to the nearest park, and I'm planning to move out of Gdańsk to someplace that's ACTUALLY close to nature, because the apartment where I live is just a noisy urban area. It's a 5 minute walk to a shopping center, but a 30 minute walk to the nearest park and an hour walk to the nearest forest. If something is 5% nature, it might look 'closer to nature' than other things that are 3% or 4% nature, but personally I would prefer having a forest close enough that I could visit it every day, and a shopping center can be kilometers away if I only visit it twice a month.
2. Gdańsk being flat. Eeehhh.... it's on moraine hills formed by glaciers during the ice age. Yes, you can travel around by bike, but primarily parallel to the sea. Try traveling perpendicular to the sea, and you'll be going up and down hill quite a lot. Maybe not in the old town area - that is indeed relatively flat. But many other city districts are quite hilly, or separated from each other by hills and slopes. Compared to other cities I'd say Gdańsk is moderately hilly. Some cities definitely have it worse, but other cities are actually built on flatlands, unlike Gdańsk.
3. As for liberalism, it's simply that left-wing parties have a slight lead in Gdańsk (say 60%), while in other cities they may have 40% votes. Also, some of them have major centers of operation in Gdańsk, which often leads to left-wing politicians being much more 'advertised' in Gdańsk, compared to cities where right-wing parties have more presence. Cities where pride parades happen largely depend on whether the city president and their staff are leaning left or right, which mostly comes down to winning elections by a tiny margin. And often swings the opposite way every elections.

The best town in Poland is Koluszki
For me 5 the best cities in Poland are Gdańsk, Wrocław, Warszawa, Kraków and Poznań.
There is an old tri-city saying that "The best thing you can get in Gdańsk, is SKM ticket to Gdynia"
Sorry, but I'll be honest, she gave you a bit of a mediocre tour and her way of thinking poorly represents the way Poles think today.
If you would like to know the secrets of Gdansk, something that not everyone knows, let me know. I'll be happy to show you what and how ;)

The word tolerance means patiently enduring something. That is why I endure the equality parade. However, I do not see any tolerance among the participants of this parade.

”Gdejensk”
Honestly your guide was terrible. I'm from Gdynia and I don't know Gdańsk super well and I don't like Gdańsk as a city tbh but even I can say she has no idea about Gdańsk and its history. Dwór Artusa is not the most expensive building in Gdańsk, like cmon, does she even believe that? It wasn't even well preserved, it was completely destroyed during WW2. Also, the window girl next to Dwór Artusa was not a legend, it's 100% fictional character, you can look it up "panienka z okienka". Also that building she stated is one apartament for whole building is in fact not one apartament, like wtf is she talking about. And that bs that she's talking about eastern Poland, if she really thinks like that it means that SHE is close minded and she's never been there, probably just cares about pride parades that she heard in news and doesn't even know anything else about Bialystok and eastern Poland in general. I mean she literally said that women like guys with hobbies and that's why kpop is big here - what the actual f?
Thumbs up for saying GDYNIA is better place than Gdańsk ! :)
