Gdańsk - centuries ago a powerful storehouse for Europe and trade destination for travelling merchants, attracted by famous granaries filled with all types of goods. Today it is an important point on the tourist map of the world. Its fascinating history is like a magnet, with majestic architecture, sea, beach and am- ber, but above all the spirit of liberty. It is here, in Gdańsk, a movement was born under the charismatic leadership of Lech Walesa which led to the fall of communism in Europe. The forces radiating from the Gdańsk Shipyard caused that from all the corners of the world the City on the Motława River is associated with the most precious value - freedom. To touch it, one just needs to come here for at least a weekend – to marvel at the view of the three crosses rising from Solidar- ity square, to climb Góra Gradowa and admire from afar the silhouettes of the shipyard cranes - eyewitnesses to major changes, or ascend the tower of St. Mary’s Basilica and from there soak up the panorama view of the city.
