Finding the top things to do in a city can be a challenge, in large cities across Poland like Gdansk it can be difficult to filter out all of the must see suggestions you read online or pamphlets. With our trop to Gdańsk City we decided to ask you guys for some things to do!
Poland itself has been amazing, but we wanted to travel a bit further and visit some spots we might not otherwise see in a typical city guide or on RUclips already.
Fortunately for us, Polska was playing in the football world cup so we ended up going super local and creating an afternoon of our own favourite things to do!... or drink, in Poland.

Do you have some local recommendations for us? Let us know here: danegerandstacey.com/contact-us
You should check "Falowce" block of flats - there are the longest block of flats in Poland - just check Gdańsk+ Falowiec in Google to find that. All the best for you! ;)
Daneger and Stacey this big open space in Zaspa was old airport
What is the outro music, guys?!? I never find it in your video descriptions and I love it so much!
Not sure if anyone cares but if you are stoned like me atm you can watch all the latest movies and series on instaflixxer. Have been watching with my gf for the last weeks =)
@Enoch Xander Yup, have been using InstaFlixxer for since december myself :)
You guys are seriously making us miss Gdansk and Poland in general. These vlogs are so much fun guys. - Trevor
Before WW2 Zaspa was an airport. That is why you can find flat hardgrounded spaces there. After the War communist authorities decided to build a huge complex of apartment blocks in the type you can find all over east-central Europe and Russia.
That explains a LOT! Thank you for that info.
Exactly and just to add some more infos the new airport was built outside the city while these blocks were all grey and tedious in the past, hence after the collapse of communism they were all decorated to give some vibe to the area. This is the neighbourhood I grew up in.
Keep doing the local tips thing. So much better for seeing the real side of a place rather than the touristy one.
Thanks Mike - we're diging these days as well
STOCZNIA means SHIPYARD :D
The Polish people are awesome. Rich history and culture.
About that apple juice chaser thing - honestly in Poland everything can be a chaser as long as it's not alcoholic, whatever works for you. Some people even chase with water.
This big open space on zaspa was military airport :)
Thats so crazy!
No Olga.
It was Gdańsk Airport open to civilian traffic, before it was moved to Rębiechowo in early 70-ies and Zaspa was built.
John Paul II Street is an old runway.
I know. I virtually grew up there.
Greetings from Canada!
Later on in 80-90s it was one of the biggest (if not biggest) open air market in Gdansk..
Hi! I recommend Gdynia Orłowo cliff- it's beautiful! :)
Guys... You made me cry few times with Your videos. You showed me how great my country is. I watched all of your vids and regret its no one left to see.
Aww nice to hear, we loved it
That local pub. That was something😂👍 cool vid. You should keep doing the local tips vid. Its so different then others vids.
Haha yeah it was quite the experience! Will keep doing these local tips in different places we visit for sure.
Yes!!!! Local tips are the best! And so good to have in a video cause it can be hard to find that stuff online so nice to have collated in a video in In which you can watch and see what things you would like to add to your own itinerary!
Check also park and the cathedral in Oliwa. Word for number "100" is "sto". Shipyard in Polish is "stocznia" so it is some kind of words' puzzle ;)
AHHH and the puzzle is solved haha, thanks for this.
hahah you were so cute as a polish football team fans :d Glad you had so much fun! :) And def keep going with the local theme :D I would like to see that kind of videos from other places too :)
So much fun!! OK thanks, we will keep it rolling then
2:30 The orange block of flats on the left is where I live. I was so happy when I saw you guys visit my home where I literally spent my whole life.
Yeeoow thats awesome!
Hi guys I'm Polish but I have not been in Poland for a long time thanks for inspiration to come back!!
Yup. "Going local" is where the magic happens. Kudos for the flags on the cheeks until the end of the day, great video!!!! :-D
Hi Daneger and Stacey i can't believe where you landed... "Zaspa" i'm glad you are still safe 😉🤣 enjoy the rest of Tricity !!!
Haha yup we survived :)
Yes to these local tips videos - especially when they are "helped along" by good local beer :) Visiting a local bar like you did here shows more about the spirit and reality of the place you are visiting than ever a staged tourist location can. The tourists sites are fine but to get under the skin of the place, you have to do what you guys did in this video. Loved it!
100% agree Rex, see we actually needed you to explain it - you did a better job than us haha. The staged element and getting under the skin of a place is right on point.
My city!
COOL video guys, we're heading to Gdansk this week. So looking forward to it. Enjoy your trip too, cheers 🗺❤
You guys are awesome positive people ! I like content the way it is, there is no need for a change.
Thanks Peter! Content aint changing :)
Vodka and apple juice is the true Poland spirit hahahah
hey Daneger and Stacey...hope to see you here in Warsaw Poland...:)
you have accidentally found the worst local in the area :D
1. WWII museum highly recommended - much better then may sound
2. Oliva cathedral is overrated, typical "tourist attraction" (tho the surroundings looks amazing during autumn)
3. You have to check out Sopot, you will get there by the same city train. Check the recommended locals at monte cassino street - ends by long wooden pier
Haha we had a good time either way :) Checked out Sopot, video to come in a few days time!
At that pub there was a poster on the wall, which said "Smierc Arce" - "Death to Arka" (Arka Gdynia - football club) XD
When U got lost in Zaspa on that big concret road place - witch is old run way from non existig Airport today ....... that existed before WWII and was closed in 1070s , when i was a little boy i did fly from there in 1971 and still remeber the trip today , i used to live around the corner from that place , Zaspa did not existed then it was just empty fields , greatings from Melbourne :-) THX for the movie .
love the local tips. If you are in Warsaw I will happily give you a tour of some of my favourite places!!
I would suggest you follow your instincts and get off the broken road now and the...but not in all countries 'cause you guys blend in well.There is always that ''spooky'' IF when you venture out of your comfort zone.Play safe and things will always turn out right.
Always the risk when you go a bit toooo local huh! We're generally really cautious, not because we can't handle ourselves or don't have the street smarts, but the expensive camera we carry around is a walking target and gives us away! Hope you enjoyed this one though, a little different and fun.
Yes, I did enjoy very much.Again,Poland lose another WC match.Pity, but that's how the cookie crumbles. Take care and keep the videos coming.
I love this concept! Already waiting for tips from my hometown Warsaw ;)
Polska piwo, Polska piwo, Polska piwo, Polska piwo! As an aside story, on my first trip to Poland 1975 we went to see ‘High Plains Drifter’ at the theatre in Warsaw in Polish w/ English subtitles. Clint Eastwood walks into the bar and says, “Pivo”.
The thing about chasers in Poland is that we drink whatever we like best. Some people drink sodas, some drink different kinds of juice, some of my friends even drink water as chaser :)
What ever it takes to enjoy, we love that! Though the vodka here is so nice alredy
On a different note: I gather you guys are walkers, but maybe if you like biking and are planning to bounce between some other cities in Poland it'd do you good to register for the city bike system? It's quite cheap. I know there is one in Warsaw (it's called Veturilo), Łódź, Wrocław, Białystok, Częstochowa, Poznań and a bunch of other cities. It's the same corporation (nextbike I think) so you can use them from one account. If you're into in of course. Best
It was an airfield that open space. Active for a long time till they built the new one in Rebiechowo. That's why some murals there are aeronautical themed.
heh, I've lived in Gdańsk about 6 years and , the funny thing, I'm from Poland, but seriously guys , you've discovered for me much more than I've done, thanks a lot! Great video ;)
Hahaha glad we could show you some things from your own country!!
Loved your local bar experience! 🙈 Really awesome vlog :) im glad that my recommendations turned out to be useful ❤️
Loved the day - thanks so much for the recommendations :)
Think after Stacey drank her shot looked liked she assumed the chaser was more liquor. That was a funny video. Good day to relax and have fun with the locals!
We sort of did - the whole apple juice chaser thing definitely surprised us!
Awesome Video. Local time tips is a YES!
You guys are such a lovely couple, I've been binge watching your channel since last night. Keep it up!
Yay!! Thanks Anna
It's always a big yes to local, quirky and artsy places off the beaten track, my favourite! Thank you for the awesome vids x
Happy to hear that! We love filming these random days as well
It's my dream to live in Poland, I loved your video, thanks a lot!
Really great country!
I'm from Brazil and I am studying Polish. Anything that I can see about Poland makes me really happy, thank yooooou!
Paula, greetings from Poland. :-))))))
+Paula Balieiro You'll love this playlist then! ruclips.net/video/MC8c6WHMcH0/видео.html
Daniel Chmarzyński HIIII! I am almost ready to live in Warsaw.
Sorry if I missed it on yours videos, but did you ever try "Żubrówka" (bison gras vodka which is probably most famous Polish spirit) mixed with apple juice? If apple juice as a chaser was something new for you, this would blow your minds :) Great to have you two in Poland! Cheers!
Haven't tried it yet, nope! We're doing a vodka tour soon though, so maybe then!
You might taste this vodka solo before just to compare how it changes flavour of apple juice. I just add that this drink names "szarlotka" (spelled charlottca) which means apple pie ;)
This was definitely a lot of fun. Didn’t know about following a vodka shot with apple juice. The street art is really beautiful there.
Thank you. I like your VDO. Beautiful 💪💪People very good,Castle🏰football⚽.Nature🌲🌲🌳.Charming. of Gdansk 😍💕
Guys i love your content and You as well! If you wanna try something different in Poland i would like to recommend You Silesia Region (in polish Slask) in south Poland. It is industrial region with coal mines in general. The city of Katowice is cultural center with lot of places to visit. In nerby city where i live - Zabrze (20 km from Katowice) there is dope Coal Mine Museum - GUIDO. It’s old coal mine with two tipes of road trips - for beginers and extreme one where you need apararure, uniforms and breathing accesory. I thing you’ll love it! Keep You good work!
3:55 it's a piece of an old runway for airplanes ,Airport Gdańsk-Wrzeszcz has been closed 1 May 1974
Love these inside tips! keep them coming :D
Good to hear! We will :) Lots of fun going local and lost.
Hi! If You have any questions about Gdansk (or whole Trojmiasto) I'm here for You. Thanks for visiting!
Appreciate it, thank you!
Hi, I recommend you:
-Świetojańska Street in Gdynia (it's main street, with many restaurants) moreover Gdynia is capital of Poland modernist architecture
-Grunwaldzki Square (plac Grunwaldzki) it't green square near Świętojańska street with free cable railway to viewpoint (to look on city centre and the see from above)
-Museum of the Second World War in Gdańsk, it's must see, very interseting new museum
-Billy's american restaurant has got delicious steaks and burgers (located in Forum Gdańsk)
The space you've mentioned around 4th minute of the video used to be an airport for about 50 years, it's off since 70s.
The famous Bulgarian claivoyant, Baba Vanga predicts Stacey and Daneger will be world class famous any second now! Wait for it.... Now! 😍
Haha if only it was as easy as those 3 letters! The graft will pay off in the long run :)
Daneger and Stacey , It will! I can see a rosy future for the two of you, the likes which you have never seen before! 😊
+up vote from me. unlikely to use the tips anytime soon but really appreciate the 'off the beaten (tourist) path' content.
Appreciate the feedback, thanks Brian! We like this sort of stuff as well, so lots more to come as we travel.
wow you was near my home guys im so excited ;D
Haha that's cool, hope we showed your home nicely :)
I've just found your channel and you were literally walking near my home ;D
Thats crazy!
Late to the party, but yes enjoyed the local format. You should keep doing it. :)
Thank you!
It's my home town. At 3:40 this used to be - indeed - an airport hence the large open area :)
It was such an interesting place to explore!
what a cool day. Its those sort of travel days that stick in your mind for a long time hey?
Definitely days like this we love, things dont go to plan but are so random you just gotta love em!
Thanks!! I am looking forward going there next week
Keep doing these types of videos!
Must say I have so much fun watching this. I stumbled across one of the Kraków videos by chance some 2h ago and just watched all of them plus Gdańsk now. Seeing some places I know very well + some others that I plan to see in the future (and probably should have seen a long time ago but I usually visit Kraków or Gdańsk when I go to concerts so there's not really a lot of time to just walk around those cities with a camera). i'll be sure to catch up with some older ones from other countries :)
Stoked to hear you found us and enjoyed - thanks Jakub!
First of all the videos are great. What kind of sunglasses the guy wears? I like so much.
Hey Csaba Jasznik, thanks!! You can check all our equipment, sunglasses and stuff we use daily on our site- danegerandstacey.com/our-equipment/ Thanks for the comment 🤘🏼
hey guys, i am travelling in gdansk for 7 days, my question is, how you buy ticket to get in the train/trams ?
I've just arrived in Gdansk, man it's beautiful!
Stoked to hear - have an awesome time
@@DanegerAndStacey, thank you!
Great channel! Love all the content on here!
Stoked to hear that, thanks Joseph
Just hello from Gdańsk guys 🌸
Saying hello right back :)
I am moving to Gdansk for a month in March with my job and I am so excited!!
3:43 Gdańsk Zaspa: a former (1919-1974) airport in Gdańsk. There are still hangars there used by Germans (and then Poles) for planes (but they are too small to host Zeppelins (airships)).
Here airship Hindenburg over Danzig: wiez.com.pl/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Danzig-Gdansk-Houelle-Grass.jpg
Were you guys tipsy at the chanting section of "POLSKA POLSKA POLSKA" lol
Most definitely haha
I can't wait to get to Gdansk. Unfortunately I won't make it this year. Your blogs will help when I do, though.
Hope you do get the chance soon though! Our next upload is from the beach just next door and really surprised us!
You can tell me if U come here. I can show u around mate
I love Your style of travelling. On the other hand it's cool to see my town (Kraków) from another, so refreshing point of view. Maybe You should wishit Łódź next time. Seems to be boring, but have some very catchy locations like Rosa's Passage.
Used to live there, my in-laws still live there.
This place used to be an airfield and the airport for Gdańsk.
Then they built a new airport outside the city, and built a huge living area on the airfield.
Around 26,000 people live there.
This was the communist era "big plate" building method.
They premanufactured these huge block elements of the buildings, and then just assembled them on the spot. They looked terrible, they used to be raw, unpainted, uninsulated cement blocks.
Awesome intel - thanks for the detailed explanations!
Love it!
Cool vids love them and the Local Tips are very good you must do more of them. If you like castles you should go visit Malbork and the biggest castle in Europe (I think) its not that far from Gdańsk maybe an hour or hour and a half if you go by car
And one more time great vids keep it up
If you will visit Katowice, I invite you for a tour in Zagłębie Palace of Culture in Dąbrowa Górnicza (next to the Katowice). There are also a beautiful beaches almost in the center of the city and I know an excellent restaurant in Sosnowiec.
I like the local content. Great vlog as always.
Great to hear, Devin! Glad you enjoyed.
they wanted to troll you guys at that pub. saying "Polska! Adam Małysz" in the middle of match. Adam Małysz is Ski Jumping champion which quite different discipline :)
Thanks for the video - I like the local tips!
Thanks for sharing! All the best guys!
My city 😍
Maybe the Baltic Sea shore finally? :)
Yup :) Next video :)
You made my day hope we win today 🤣 Enjoy your time in my Home Town 😉
Fingers crossed for a good result tonight!!
i vote yes... very cool.
Thanks Aaron, vote counted!
In the place of this "dessert" as u say :D(....) years ago was there runway, mini airport or something :D
If you like street art and paintings on bulidings and plan to visit Gdynia pls check following streets in city centre: Portowa, Derdowskiego, sw. Piotra and Waszyngtona (see pictures here www.podrozepokulturze.pl/2018/01/street-art-gdynia-murale-w-gdyni/)
Just love yours videos. Good and positive vibes :) this idea of slow travelling, get into locals and just feel the place is superb :) I'm from Kraków do thank you for showing my city in such diffetent way! In Gdańsk go to best Italian place called Il Pazzi :) and go to Sopot to Molo and nearby small coffee place called Flamingo & co with wonderfull coffee and homemade ice cream! Greetings!
Slow travel is life - we love the chance to have moments like what you just watched and know that we didnt 'miss seeing x monument' or what ever that everyone else is rushing around to cram into a holiday!
Zaspa Wrzeszcz in Gdańsk
I love your videos! :)
Yay - happy to hear that!
The big open space us a former runway 😊
At 4.00 Minutes...to answer your question, it`s been an airport. Today it is a market place!
Dope vid thanks guys, any other places to see street art closer to Gdansk / Sopot or when you were in Krakow please?
There's loads of street art around the Jewish quarter in Krakow, think we show a bit of it in that video.
Daneger and Stacey thanks legends
stocznia - shipyard, thing to be expected in port city :P
100% YES to local.
YES!
3:58 This is the old airport in Zaspa.
You need to try one of polish soup in breed (Żurek w chlebie) google Karczma Polska Zagroda and you will find it! Take care 💚
That's a YES for Me
Thanks!
My hood!
Have a look on Google Earth, one can still see the remains of both runways, but they disappear fast.
That's awesome!!
yes it was runway long time before :)
Im going to Gdansk in 8 days
2 days now... enjoy!
Daneger and Stacey thank you. Im subscribed to you now
Do you know Gdańsk was an independent city state before WW2?
Noooope! We didnt know that. Youre full of details :)
Yep. Mostly inhabited by Germans (~90%) who sadly voted for German nazi party and the state was incorporared into Germany in 1939 and that is why Russian Soviets treated it as German city and destroyed huge part of the city in 1945 and gave it to Poland. Btw Gdańsk was Slavic, Polish formally in Medieval times and then in period of 1466-1795 buy till 1945 most of the pop was Germanic (Germans and Dutch ppl).
Ok some more history. The reason Germans were here in the first place (and the Polish and German elements were mixing here so much) was the fact that around 1223 Polish king Konrad of Masovia invited German Teutonic Knights to fight pagans, who ventured out from what is today Lithuania, and were bothering his state. The Teutons, however, soon created their own state, started German settlement in the area, becoming a new headache for the Polish rulers instead of the old pagan one. At various points in time the area where Gdansk is was a German-speaking part of the Polish Crown. Fast forward, the city was also an excuse to start WW2. If you fancy some local-related reading with the Polish-German-Kashubian mixture try Guenther Grass "Tin Drum".
Very grateful for this --- we're off back to Gdansk in 4 days and I love to have a 'local' book to read on holiday. - My hope is to see the Stutthof Museum - if D&S get to visit there first I won't be upset (..... Hint hint !!) - however I think it's going to be almost 20 miles outside the city but I'm sure we can manage the buses - plus if the northern route is used you get to use the ferry across the Vistula - an event in it's own right.
Are those Serengeti Leandro glasses ?
Hey Tom, nope they're a different brand, can't recall exactly but they're on our site: danegerandstacey.com/our-equipment/
