When to go to Gdańsk?
Merchant houses stand shoulder to shoulder along Gdańsk's Długi Targ, narrow and heavily ornamented, with the Motława a few steps behind them. The medieval Żuraw crane leans out over the water, and St Mary's, brick and enormous, holds the skyline. Amber shops fill the side streets, and the European Solidarity Centre stands beside the old shipyard cranes.
