political history
Gdansk in Polish or the way I like more, Danzig (in German), is a city completely impregnated with the political history of twentieth century Europe. A walk through its streets reveals the convoluted situations experienced by the Polish people, with clear signs of the German domain, and later the Soviet. Its strong personality can imagine knowing what the ancient city state was like, even minting its own currency. In order to appreciate the romantic and decadent buildings and streets it's great to for a little stroll and to go shopping.
