Gdansk
One of Poland’s most beautiful cities, Gdansk, on the Baltic Sea, has
played major roles in history, especially in the 20th-century. It was
the 1939 flash point of World War II, and then in 1980, the birthplace
of the Solidarnosc labor movement, ushering the end of Communist
domination in Eastern Europe. Gdansk’s Old Town, painstakingly
reconstructed to its Hanseatic League glory after being leveled in World
War II, is a highlight. The 14th-century Town Hall houses the city’s
historical museum.
