Like the other Polish cities we’ve visited, Gdansk is charming with lots of history.
We visited the European Solidarity Center which is devoted to the history of Solidarity and the Polish trade union and civil resistance movements.
Monument to Fallen Shipyard Workers (1970)
This is an excellent museum with artifacts and footage from newsreels related to the Solidarity Movement led by Lech Walesa in the 1980’s.
We’ve enjoyed delicious food while in traveling around Poland and have tried many local specialties. This evening we found a cute restaurant and had a healthy plate of salmon, chickpeas and carrots at pleasant Bistro PoMeLo.
Our room at Hotel Liberum is small but cozy and well-laid out. We have a nice view. The location is perfect!
Today (May 3) is another holiday in Poland. It’s Constitution Day! Stores are closed, the city is busy, and families are enjoying a day off. The weather has caught us off-guard as it’s very chilly and sometimes rainy! Temps in the upper 30 degree-range. But all is well and we’re happy in Gdansk!
