I lived in Warsaw, Poland for 1 year and had the opportunity to visit many cities. Gdansk is a city by the sea among the Polish cities. The city is very beautiful, especially if you like the structure of the cities in Northern Europe and the old towns. Compared to other European cities, Londonia is cheaper. The currency is Zloty and it is a cheaper city than the capital Warsaw. But I went there with a friend in December and it was incredibly cold. Since it is by the sea, the wind coming from the sea increases the coldness felt incredibly. I have also seen this city in the summer. I definitely recommend you to go there. There will be many activities to do and it will be easier to travel. The people seemed a bit cold to me. Apart from that, we stayed in an Airbnb 15 minutes away from the city center and unfortunately I was not very pleased. Apart from that, Poland is very nice. It is a safe country. I feel safer than I have ever felt in my life. I love it so much with everything. So definitely go there, but I recommend you choose it in the summer.

Poland is in my opinion very safe country. Gdansh is beautiful city full of galleries, pubs, caffes and people there mind their own business. I had no problem with anything. Olny there are no shops open after 8pm, which i am not used to, but if you buy food for breakfast during the day, you are safe;)

This was my first solo travel in the age of 18. I booked an very cheap hostel with single room but shared bathroom. The room was really ok but the bathroom stinked so much :D Mostly I experienced nature. My favorite activity was to walking by the see with my foot in the water ale looking into sea.
Posted: January 25, 2024I really liked Gdansk. I didn't have a great desire to visit, but I found incredibly cheap flights. Visiting this place is relatively cheap, it has beautiful architecture and there is a beach about 20 minutes away by taxi and 30 minutes by train. I visited this place alone and felt completely safe.
Posted: December 16, 2023I spent 3 wonderful days in Gdansk and I highly recommend it. Fantastic city. I had a great walk around the city. The beach and promenade were also charming. The transportation there was very safe and easy to use.

I’ve been living here since 2021 and since the very beginning I’m feeling safe. I walk alone in dark, very often use public transport. I’m not worried about wearing skirts etc.

Hi! 👩🎓I am a 23-year-old management student living in Gdańsk since birth. 🌍I love traveling and have managed to visit 29 countries so far, with Italy being the country I've visited the most. I adore Italian food, culture, and the amazing people there—not to mention the wonderful weather. 🦮In my free time, I enjoy walking with my three dogs and exploring new places, so I know quite a few interesting walking paths around Gdańsk. 🇪🇸I love expanding my knowledge and am currently learning Spanish. 🚙Additionally, I enjoy reading all kinds of books, from fantasy to true crime and young adult. In my free time, I also build Lego sets and deepen my knowledge of automotive topics. 🧘♀️I also like practicing yoga and spending time with my loved ones over a cup of my favorite coffee.

I'm an artist and animator. I live in Gdańsk until 12th of May. I like being a guide and showing people more alternative locations of this city. I'm not into drinking or partying hard but I like to meet new people and joke about terrible music. I have interests of 12 year old boy and middle aged lady I'm moving to Malta soon and I need new friends/roommate/place to stay as well so any help will be appreciated.
