Combining elements of medieval Poland and the hanseatic-era architecture of Prussia and Germany, Gdańsk is synonymous with the Baltic sea, maritime trade, World War II and the Solidarity anti-communist movement. Though it still sits a few places behind the touristic draws of Kraków, things are quickly changing and the city is increasingly humming with activity.
