About Gdansk
Gdansk faces the Baltic with the swagger of an old merchant city that once answered to no one.
Tall, narrow houses in burnt orange and ochre line streets where amber glows in every window like the gold of a frozen sea. This is where the first shots of one war were fired, and where a shipyard electrician helped bring down an empire decades later.
Salt wind comes off the water, gulls wheel over the brick-Gothic churches, and ferries leave for the long sand spits beyond.
Eat fried Baltic herring and chase it with a shot of amber-flecked Goldwasser, and feel how far this is from the rest of Poland.
