We Francji, a w³aciwie w ca³ej Europie Zachodniej takich obszarów wokó³ miast ju¿ nie ma - zachwyca³ siê, odwiedzaj¹c Gdañsk, Gerard Lemion, francuski przyrodnik.

  • The Best of GDA¡SK Poland
    ∫ The Best of GDA¡SK Poland Gdaƒsk Gdaƒsk Gdaƒsk is dotted with popular sites which are instantly identified with the city. These symbolic silhouettes certainly include the massive brick bulk of St Mary’s Basilica towering over the city, the rich Renaissance facades of the houses around the Long Market and the statue of Neptune reigning over what is acclaimed as one of the most beautiful market places in Europe. The symbols also certainly include the Medieval Crane which stoops, dozing, on the Mot∏awa bank. This thousand- year-old city on the Baltic coast has been the hometown of Hevelius, Fahrenheit, Schopenhauer, Grass, and Wa∏´sa. Above all, however, it ranks high on the list of top tourist attractions. Gdaƒsk stuns visitors with its multitude of listed sites of residential, sacred, military, and port functions, its heritage of one hundred centuries of fascinating culture and turbulent history, and its unusual air of a location where history and modern times merge in perfect harmony to create an unmatched cityscape. The Royal Route. Many a time in its history Gdaƒsk had the honour of hosting Polish monarchs. On 8 July 1552 King Sigismund Augustus arrived in the city with two thousand courtiers; on 1 August 1677 King Jan III Sobieski made a ceremonious entry into the city accompanied by his wife, UplandMarysieƒka, and son Jacob.Gate 1 2 Upland Gate (1) This richly sculpted 16th century stone gate to Gdaƒsk marks the beginning of the Royal Route. It was here that the mighty of this world were first met by the cheering crowds on their arrival.
